WOW! this book took me on such a wonderful journey, these character's and their stories will stay with me for a very long time.  The perfect ending to their story.All the Pieces picks up where Pieces of Truth finishes. Norah and Josh are together, their plans to elope in motion. We've learnt about Josh, and his ploy to win Norah. That's all I'm going to tell you.  Seriously, its better to go into this book blind, so many things happen, its fast paced and action packed. It wouldn't be a Pieces of Lies book if it wasn't packed with secrets galore, and of course the love square of the century is still prominent. This time however we get to see into each of the characters heads; Norah, Josh, Clint, Samuel and Tess, and you are going to love what they have to say.Each character grows and I truly believe they all come full circle since we first met them. I loved reading from Samuels POV because I finally got to understand his feelings towards Norah, and it helped me understand why he acted the way he did. He's fiercely protective, obviously because of the family environment that he grew up in, but he's also considerate, selfless and he's quite charming too.My heart goes out to Norah. Throughout her life she has been surrounded by secrets and lies, how do you know who to believe? What's real and what's been manufactured. She'd come to expect there to be big 'reveals' , for the truth to surface and she has to deal with the backlash. That's no life to lead, especially when your heart is on the line. It's no wonder the darkness resides within her.Clint, Oh Clint.... I've been Team Clint from the beginning, and I'll tell you, this book only cements my love for him.  We finally see the depths of his emotions and understand what is underneath the 'rich boy' faade. There were a few scenes that had me bawling like a baby, and lets just say Clint was in all of them.Then there's Josh. He's a hard one for me, I hadn't really connected with him in the past books, but in this one I had a lot more compassion for him. I don't agree with the decisions he made, but I understood his motivations. In all of this I'd come to realise Norah is surrounded by so much love, each men loving her in their own unique ways, but they were all protective over her.Tess and Norah was another relationship explored more. They are soul mates, special friends that have a strong connection. I loved Tess' feistiness. She's funny, a little bit crude but incredibly loyal. No matter what situation they were faced with (and there are some doozies) she's there till the end.Angela's writing is phenomenal. To be able to express such a story, with all its complexities, twists and turns is a task. This isn't just a romance story with your normal drama and angst, it's so much more. The action & suspense kept me on my toes. The mystery kept me guessing, trying to figure out what was coming next (which was useless, because Angela has a way of serving curveballs you'd never see coming) And the romance had me swooning, the love leapt off the pages, in all directions. It's safe to say that my emotions were on overdrive throughout the whole story.  As the end to a trilogy, this book is strong and finishes perfectly. It's always sad to say goodbye to character's that you've seen grown and flourish, but I was thoroughly satisfied with their ending.
