UN-PUT-DOWNABLE!!!!!!!! I stayed up til 1:30 reading this because I wanted to find out how it would all turn out.

This was a Barnes & Noble special of the day, and one of the better books I've read in a while. Told in the first person view, but with chapters alternating between her life in 2003 and then 2007, this is a rich psychological thriller. The main female character suffers from OCD, and as the story is told, we see how she developed it. There are also some twists, and scary moments where I could not read fast enough.

Excellently written!!! ( )

Mantiene la tensión desde el principio hasta el final. Quizás esperaba más por las buenísimas críticas que había leído. Aún así, me ha gustado. Lo recomiendo. ( )

This book gave me panic attacks. It was brutal and amazing.... ( )

Not going to lie, the end of this trilogy made me cry. I knew it was coming but all the same it was heartbreaking to read the last chapter.

End of Watch finds us back to the story of Mr. Mercedes. This final installment is has the same pacing and excitement level as the first book. We stick with our main gang of not investigators, and discover the lives of more people involved in the concert, and job fair from book one.

The character growth in this wrap up is spot on. I would love a full series that has Holly as the main character. Her struggles, and all that she is overcoming, awesome growth there. More of her adventures at the agency would be A content!

King has such a masterful way of writing thrillers, and dripping in a little paranormal that makes you feel like it could really happen. It's subtle, and disregarded by the average character in the story, but that makes it all the more terrifying. Brady is a excellent villain because he is just a guy, who had a messed up life, and messed up thoughts. We've all seen these guys in the news, so it makes his story resonate stronger than if the paranormal aspects had been thicker.

While I didn't really care for the second book, this trilogy is still going to be on my list of one of my must read recommendations from King. ( )
