Is there anything more engaging than a scavenger hunt? I loved watching this group of characters solve their final mystery, and how it shed light on the villain made it un-put-down-able! My new favourite in the series,

What a fantastic end to a twisting trilogy, this novel was absolutely brilliant. Sara Shepard's writing kept me hooked from the first chapter.
This novel kicks off from the moment the second story ends, the gang are in trouble as Brett has once again managed to grab the upper hand.
Everything is now at stake including their own safety. If the group don't follow his instructions perfectly the ramifications could be life threatening.
This novel had me on the edge of my seat throughout, I was desperate to reach a solid conclusion about Bretts identity as well as how he was connected to our main character.
I also didn't want the novel to end as I knew this was the final instalment. I was fully invested in the wellbeing of the characters.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a fun young adult read.

Hadn’t read the other two but it didn’t matter, really gets you up to speed and plot is engaging, compulsive and addictively readable.

Thanks to NetGalley I got a sneak peek at this, and it certainly resolved some of the issues from the previous two books.
Very early on we get a quick summary of what happened so - dare I say it - this could be read as a stand-alone with few issues.
Seneca and the group are reeling somewhat after finding the internet sensation kidnapped by Brett. There’s a sense amongst the group that things are going to resolve, but then comes a VERY bold move which sets off the chain of events focused on here.
Aerin is kidnapped outside the hospital. In an audacious move, Brett has her. When he contacts Seneca it’s to ask her to look into the disappearance of a nine year old boy if they ever want to see their friend again.
Naturally, these events are connected. The book focuses on the group establishing the links and working through a quite incredible chain of occurrences.
I spent most of the book quite amazed that anyone would believe these teens could pull off what they do. It’s high-drama, but quite entertaining.
We end the book with it set up for further linked stories (though I don’t think it’s in the plan) and a lot of our questions answered.

This is the third book in the series, I decided to read the first two books as it didn’t seem that I would understand the book without doing so. I’m glad I did, not only because it helped me understand the plot, but because I really enjoyed the whole series!

One of the amateurs, Aerin, has been kidnapped by her sisters killer and he says she won’t be alive for much longer unless the group solve another, unrelated kidnapping case. The group are on the clock as they investigate, it was interesting to read the chapters from the killers’ POV.

We find out a lot of backstory which explains things in the previous books, though not everything is wrapped up nicely...

A satisfying end to the series nonetheless! If you love Pretty Little Liars or The Lying Game (both by the author of The Amateurs) you will love this.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for my free copy in exchange for an honest review. (Unfortunately the epilogue was messed up-sentences of this and a previous chapter are all meshed together- which made it very difficult to read and understand. Therefore I don’t know if there is going to be another book in the series or not!)
