I spent so much of the book begging for the twist to not be what I thought it was. And then it was. Such a letdown for me personally. I felt like it was lazy, predictable, ridiculous, and doesn't even really make sense within the plot of any of the books.
We end with SO MANY QUESTIONS. And the book is like "All those questions we have unanswered? We will never know! 🙂↔️" Like it seriously just answered like 2 or 3 questions, and then the writter must not have known how to really tie anything else up. Or got sick of trying? There was SO much potential and so many things that could have been explored.
Also, if you think about it, I really think the timeline falls apart. I also noticed a lot on the second book. The first book doesn't even have its lore or settings straight either.
I'd read the first book and the second book.
But I would recommend just reading a synopsis of this one if you didn't absolutely love those ones.

A fitting end to the trilogy!
A satisfying end to a roller coaster ride of a story. The trilogy started with a whimper (imho) but finished with a very big bang. We found out just who and what Martin, the angry and highly manipulative ghost, really was. This information was truly mind blowing. The explosive ending to the story was totally unpredictable but, under the circumstances, quite apt.

This is the third and final book in the Bait series and I thought it was a great conclusion to this series. I didn't like Andrew and Hannah as much as Connie from the second book but I definitely enjoyed them a lot more than the boys from book one and I liked that they were slightly more knowledgeable going in. I liked how everything came together and while the final reveal was initially a little eye-roll worthy I still liked it. I especially liked how everything came together for the very end of the book and how the final line was a real gut punch and I loved it. This book was also compulsively readable and I found it very easy to get through and I will definitely be picking up more by this author.

Read all three…
Read all three of the bait book series and they are worth a read.
I enjoyed them, did find parts extremely far fetched and almost laughable but it is what it is.
A few typos and mistakes throughout the three books but nothing that makes you want to stop reading.
Not the best I’ve read from this author but worth reading!

I almost have up on Amy of Jer books..This 3.book group.started.out good. It lagged a bit in the second book.and with her usual style ended if up with a bang.

If Twists and turns,keeps you turning the pages.
I really enjoyed reading this series. I normally don't leave a review unless I really like the story.
This series and it cast of characters makes you wonder who is going to live and who isn't.

A perfect ending for this trilogy! While I didn’t care to much for book One (Bait), Book two and three were great!
Hannah’s and Andrew have a plan to finally destroy Martin. Will it work? And at what cost? I wasn’t prepared for that ending and I loved it!

Very spellbinding
Amy Cross out did herself on this series. By the time I reached the end of this last book, I was terrified. I believe in God, so ofcourse there is the Devil. And Armageddon is inevitable.

I think this was the best of the trilogy. It answered many questions and I thought the orphanage story was intriguing. Of course, it was a horror so suspending disbelief was vital.
Fast-paced with suitable characters, it was an engaging read.
Worth a look.

Good read
I loved the ending of this book. I wish there was a novel about " martins" story alone , then have the final book explain everything .
