This is an amazing book that has a wonderful take on angels and demons. Not usually a book I would have bought but it was free on Kindle. I'm so glad that I downloaded it as I read it in 2 sittings and am now waiting on the other 2 in the series. Absolutely fantastic with imagery that will draw you in.

Well since I'm into this series for the romance and not necessarily the characters, though i think some of them are cool, it's certainly been a rollercoaster. But all i can say is yay for several things that happened. Now i just need to read the last one to finish it off and hopefully it will all end how i want it to.

Suzanne Wright's books are a little hit and miss for me. I loved her but then wasn't so keen on. This was one of the latter. I liked it but it didn't hit me with the wow factor. I thought it was a little too long--but I'm not a fan of long books.
I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

It was OK
I wasn't all that impressed with this. Not all that much happened, and as with a lot of books with written letters in them-i feel I missed out on a lot of the story.
It didn't pull me in and make me excited for them to get together. My feelings were rather bleh.
I won't be continuing the series.

Definitely gave me some Throne of Glass feels, but I'm not complaining in the least! I was hooked pretty much from the first page. Work got in the way, but questions and suspicions and theories were always swarming inside my head; the story and its characters didn't leave me when I walked away. I will most certainly be continuing with this series!

Sooo good
If you love crime stories and detective series then you should try this game ! Its simple to play and is good with all ages
It does require an app but that only facilitates the game not dictates it .
The down side is the crimes arnt able to be replayed but they are fun that ome time you do !

I loved the first book in this trilogy so much so going into this one, I had expectations. I was nervous to see what happened between John Ambrose McClaren and Lara Jean, especially because I found myself being Team Peter all the way. I think that this book, actually just the series as a whole is one that is just so sweet and pure and I think it's a new take on a love story. I feel like young adult and fiction is so saturated with love stories that it's hard to find good ones, ones that feel real and make your heart stop, the kind of romance stories that would make a good movie, ya know? I really think this series is out of the box and I like the diversity that it brings not only to YA but to the entire romance genre in general.
It's clear that this book is a stepping stone between the first and the third. It's not as fast-paced as the first book and the details that end up mattering aren't always the biggest ones. It's definitely a bridge that I hope will bring the first and the third together in a way that rounds out the story and I'm excited to see what happens in the conclusion of the series.
I love Lara Jean as a character and her innocence. I know that I'm not that far out from being 16, going on 17, but it's easy to get caught up in the facets of adult life and having to take care of everything all the time and be serious and have a lot of responsibilities. What I like the most about this series is how it transports you and next thing you know, you're 16, going on 17, and you're falling in love with Peter Kavinsky alongside Lara Jean Song Covey.

As this is the third book in the series, there is not much that I can say about it that will not spoil either of the previous books but I will do my best to avoid most specifics. If you haven't read the series yet, I would recommend not reading this review.
My opinions about this book have not varied greatly since I began reading the Prisoner of Cell 25. The writing quality is still not impressive, but it feels more like a middle-grade novel or low-level young adult so it isn't entirely out of place. The author continues to overuse the word said as his descriptor for almost every person who is speaking, which becomes tedious. As I am listening to the audiobook, I have mentioned before that it could compound the issue for me hearing so many "saids" in a row but in my opinion, that's just poor word choice that could be rectified quite easily.
I enjoyed how this book continued to develop the characters and world because previously I felt those aspects to be a little lacking. We learn more about the Elgen and their secretive board, though I hope that is expanded in future books. They are a shadowy corporation and the "big bad" of the series in conjunction with Hatch, but we know very little about either party.
There was more character development and added depth to their personalities. We were given internal motivation and struggles that made them more realistic and relatable. Our core group feels more developed now, although the supporting characters are still a little flat. I hope that they are fleshed out more in subsequent books.
Overall, this is a fast, easy read that is perfect for middle grade or young adult/teen who just want a fun book with an aspect of fantasy.
