Rants, Raves, and Reviews
I read this book for an episode of Judging Book Covers Podcast. Overall, I honestly loved it. It was mysterious and had me guessing the whole time -- WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON? And honestly, the book was probably fine on its own and didn't need to be a series, much less a series that took place in roughly two weeks of a time period (well kind of.) The second and third one would probably been successful as one book, but would have lacked the oomph of the cliffhanger in the second one. Still, the third one is all action with little story, outside of the ridiculous romance drama. Seriously, it takes away from the series. If the world is about to end, that isn't the time to have a fight over who a woman should end up with.

Then again, what other purpose does she have in the series.
Series Worth It?
Honestly, I loved the first book, and it is such a quick series read. It's kind of worth it for the last paragraph of the last book too. If you like fun horror/action/sci-fi books and movies, I do actually recommend this series. I do not recommend the tv show though. I still haven't brought myself to finish it, and I've watched five shows through their entirety since starting it.
***
Honestly, the first one was great, the second one was decent....this one was all action and unnecessary romance drama.
