I enjoy this series because it is packed full of a lot of action and interesting takes on the paranormal but I really wish Schwab had made the girls older, spaced the books out a little farther apart on a timeline (it's only been like a week this entire series which is insane), and maybe spent a little more time herself in New Orleans before writing an entire book set there.
Major gripe with this book: No way would any parent who cares anything for their child let their twelve-year-old girl walk around by herself this much. I didn't even want to do that in Nola in my 30s. ESPECIALLY after all the trouble she caused them in Scotland and Paris mere DAYS before. Someone needs to call social services.
I enjoyed this end to the trilogy. I saw an interview with the author and she was clear that this was the last installment for these characters, and I felt like she did them justice. I picked up the first two books in this series after a recommendation by Modern Mrs Darcy and read them around Halloween a few years ago. The characters were likeable and the story drew me in for a quick read. This one did not disappoint. The author is very good at giving the reader a sense of place while highlighting the spooky/spectral aspects of that location, and New Orleans was the perfect place for this last book. Of course, now I'm craving a good Cafe du Monde beignet.
I'm gonna re-read this in the future because I read it but I felt like I didn't take it in, my mind just wouldn't work today so I'll re-read it next month and it will most likely be a 4 star lol
