Frankly, I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, this story was great. The interactions were believable (to an extent), the love story was adorable, and it was well written. However, as a final installment to an extremely suspenseful series, I was a little bit disappointed.

In the Part 1 of this series, there was a lot of suspense built and questions left unanswered. It seemed that there was something larger behind what was happening, something that had to do with all of the sub-conflicts mentioned and focused upon. There was a huge focus on the conflict between Charlie and Silas's parents, however this turned out irrelevant in the end. In Part 2 of this series, something that is seemingly large is revealed and it is shown that someone had a motive to do this to them, but once again the main conflict in a previous part was proven to be irrelevant.

What seemed to be important aspects of plot and story development turned out to be filler information to delay the big reveal. However, the big reveal turned out to be smaller, something far too simple and unrelated to everything else that was added. It seemed as if every single thing that happened was just another device for character development, and not to develop the plot.

This would have been a excellent as a stand-alone novel, not as a three part novella series. It made for unnecessary suspense and an even more unnecessary wait for something that explained all of the important questions with a simple one word answer.

I thought the meaning behind it was beautiful, and worthwhile, and something that is definitely important to recognize. However, the way Hoover and Fisher went about showing this meaning was incoherent and disorganized. The overall writing and description was good, the character development was great (only for Silas and Charlie, though, not any of the other characters), and the love story was cute. As individual scenes, they were excellent, but they seemed to be randomly thrown together as if there was no collaboration or communication in the creation of this series.

2 stars.
