h o l l i s 's Reviews > The Deepest of Secrets

This wasn't at all how I thought this series would wrap. I mean, in some ways, yes, because we've known the end of Rockton was literally nigh for these characters but.. between the somewhat meandering mystery and cases to solve and how it does, actually, end? Rather disappointing.

What makes it extra sad is that book six had felt like a resurgence in a series that hadn't been satisfying me like the early instalments had. So my hope had been restored we would go out with a bang. Instead it was a bit of a whimper, both with the villain(s) of the week and any kind of romance element. There just wasn't much here.

This is still such an interesting series overall, with a great and exciting and challenging concept, and if you're looking for something different amongst all the various procedural mysteries, this is definitely one to try. I just had much higher hopes for how we would say goodbye to these characters and what their futures would look like.

2.5 stars
