Reviews

[Morgan Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this because i had no idea what happened in this book or how the trilogy ended. I love the way the stories weave together and was shocked with how it ended. still don’t really know why they tied in the night stalker aspect, maybe as a diversion tactic, but overall really enjoyed.
