The end of the reread!! This book has some epic highs and some frustrating lows š„² I understand that it's the grand finale and everything is dramatic and different but I do miss the structure and twists/turns of the mystery plot. That said, I like what we find out about the supervirus and how the dilemma of cure/no cure is concluded - it's cheesy but also poetic (to me š¤) My second - and probably bigger - gripe is with the love triangle, because YEESH! I'm a love triangle hater forever and ever (amen) but this one is especially bad and is brought to a head at the cost of both boys' characters. The number of snarky comments and near punch-ups between them is ridiculously repetitive and doesn't serve the narrative at all š«© maybe if it was resolved sooner? Or abolished entirely? Sigh, a girl can dream. But overall this is a good conclusion to the series, and what a silly series it is!! I will probably reread again in about five years as that seems to be the pattern š„° see you in a bit, Tory!

This one is fun! Not my fav plot-wise and it never sticks in my mind like the other do but it's still good š there is quite a lot of foolish brooding from Ben but luckily this is remedied early in the second half. Also the first-person POV shifts to the rest of the boys is kind of a shock! I'm not sure it was totally necessary but I'm also not mad about it š¤

It's pretty close between books 2 and 3, but I think this one is my favourite of the series šāāļø the drama and plot twists!!! Very angsty and juicy, thank you Kathy Reichs š there's also not much of Chance Claybourne which I appreciate, I really don't like that guy! I think the mystery hits so hard in this one, the Gamemaster is an evil dastardly campy messed up villain and I'm here for it!! And to top it all off they have the final battle in a hurricane?? Sure, why not! I love this silly series!! š¤
