This is the third book in the Rockton series and was another excellent book in the Rockton series. This would have been 5 stars for me but the ending knocked it down to 4 stars. The ending just felt very rushed, incomplete, and contrived. There were so many twists and turns that the whole thing didn't make much sense and felt unfinished.
Casey and Eric are thrown a new loop by the council when the council sends them a serial killer, Oliver Brady, to watch. They really aren't equipped for this type of activity. They don't want to panic the town by telling them about the awful things Oliver Brady has done. However, they don't want the town to be sympathetic to the harsh treatment Brady is receiving either. It is a tough line to balance.
When other mysterious incidents start happening around town, the situation with Brady gets even more complicated. Especially when the natives outside of Rockton get involved in things.
This remains a very engaging series. I love all the survival elements of Rockton combined with the thriller and mystery elements. The natives outside of Rockton are getting more and more involved in things and the council is taking too many liberties with the safety of Rockton's residents. Rockton is basically a pot that's about to boil over and I am so curious to see what happens when it does.
My only complaint about this book is that the ending felt really contrived and forced. There were too many twists and turns sandwiched together and the story ended up feeling very unfinished; not at all like previous books. This knocked the rating down on this book a bit for me.
Overall a wonderful continuation of the Rockton series. I love the blend of mystery, thriller, psychological, and survival elements here. I would definitely recommend this series; it is fast-paced and very engaging.
