I was so excited to read the conclusion to the Defiance Falls series after all of the drama and action and manipulation throughout the series, but unfortunately it lacked some of the umpf found in the previous two books. There was still a lot happening in the book and it wrapped up in a pretty package with a HEA but I felt it lacked some of the excitement I felt in the previous book. I continued to like Cruz, and overall I liked Hazel, and Hazel’s cousins were always good for a laugh throughout the book. I don’t always expect my books to be 100 percent realistic because I read to escape reality so if they veer off a little that doesn’t always bother me, however, I don’t feel like this type of a story line is representative of a typical high school experience or high school aged kids, but again this didn’t necessarily bother me as I read for fun. I did find the story to be overall enjoyable.
Sarah Puckett did a phenomenal job as Hazel. She is one of my top narrators to listen to. I enjoyed the dual POV narration added in book two and three with Gregory Salinas as Cruz. He also did a really good job and made the book highly enjoyable to listen to. I would definitely like to listen to more of their work. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
