I know that there were quite a few DNF's out there for this, but for me I found this 3rd book in the Artists Series to be my favorite. I felt that this was the most complete read with the most character development and for once a completeness to everyone's actions. Although I liked the first two books, something always felt off...contrived and maybe "fake" especially because I didn't know who to trust or what was real or a game. For once this series had truth to it and as the game was revealed, the plot thickened, and destinies were determined.Or maybe the fact that I have never been a Team Javier fan that I was especially ok with this read. Not providing spoilers as to who ends with who or where everyone ends...just that Javier has always come across one way in my mind and this book proved my "idea" of him to be correct...not saying good or bad, just saying he is exactly who I thought he was. For once I did not enjoy the power that was pouring out of this hot latin specimen! I also was pleased that Ellie for once is no longer a con artist, she is finally legit in her actions and her feelings. Camden is still Camden...only quite a bit hotter, dirtier, lol!I am vocal about the fact that i hate love triangle, but the triangle created by Karina Halle is fabulous. Such a fine line between love and hate, loyalty and fear, and humanity and survival. The constant interaction with these characters is tense, a bit nail biting and edgy. I honestly could not put this down until i read the final word...i had to know what happened to the lives of these people who were so intimately connected. Whether I was Team Camden or Team Javier...it didnt matter, I am Team Ellie and I am definitelyTeam Halle for bringing about a super conclusion after a wild manipulated journey to freedom.
