what the hell happened to this series? it all seemed to fall apart at the end of the 3rd book. i would say, i think this book started strong but the end felt rushed to me. maybe it's because i completely skipped the section after eva's mom died and he simply didn't tell her. i wasn't about to sit here and read through any justification the author was gonna fabricate for that. that's wild. the 4th book was forgettable. this should've been the 4th with the complimenting side stories properly fleshed out.

Yeah I was confused when I started reading this. Alot of the characterization didn't seem to make sense. But I chucked it up to the author taking some storytelling liberties to make a good book. Then it became mildly entertaining. BUT WTF.

There was no need for a rape scene in this book. Wickham was already established as a sleezy, no good gentleman. WTF. WHAT THE HELL. There's also a 2nd implied rape scene and a 28 yo man fondling what might be teenager. Why? Why didn't you just write your own book with original characters? UGH.

I would admit there were some nice moments but they were few and far in between.
