As a fan of Ms. George's Lynley books, I got the first book in this series for my (then-teenaged) niece, read it myself and ended up enjoying the others as well. I was stunned to realize that this supposed "final" book left major plot lines unresolved, but have been unable to discover any resource that promises another installment. The book itself is well-written and interesting; no one builds tension like EG. But I feel ill-used by the bait and switch and am still looking for closure.
This didn't rate a five because Hannah/Becca still doesn't know what happened to her mother. I also found the resolution for Prynne and Seth to be pie in the sky. If this is the last book in this series it leaves me wanting more.
I have loved this series and the book itself is great....BUT how can this possibly be the conclusion to this series when there are still so many unanswered questions. I feel like there should have been a more completed end to Beccas story. Other story lines were left without a ending. I feel very confused and let down if in fact this was the final book, having said all that, I still loved the book series.
I really enjoyed this book. I had read the first ones and loved how everything was coming together, but also had enough new mystery and suspense. But I got to the end and was shocked. One of the main plot lines wasn't resolved at all. I was even checking to see if there was a secret chapter or tease. WTH??????
I have all the inspector Linley books and even the made forr TV movie series. As for the Edge of series :Though I did enjoy the series embodied in all 3 books ----If this is the final book in this series - I am so disappointed !!! Nothing is resolved and everything is up in the air still. Why did this end like this? - there should be another book - there should be ....please
I didn't know what genre this book was and ordered it based on the author. I think it's an older Youth Fiction if you need a genre. Because I read on an iPad, I don't notice how far into a book I am like I would with a paperback, so I didn't realize until the last few chapters that no more story was coming and no one dies.George has always been great at developing characters in her murder mysteries and this book is no different: rich characters in a multi-layered story. Typical George, in a way...but so different from her other work.
I agree with the other reviewers...I enjoyed the series, and I was eagerly anticipating the end of this book, including the resolution of the "quickening." Instead, the book just ended...it was like the author ran out of time or lost interest.
