Different stories work for different people and at different times. I know I am going to be in the minority opinion on this one and that's okay.

Overall, I still would definitely recommend this series as a whole. I just wish we could have had a better time together.

I still love Nick, Seth, Gibby, Jazz and the Dads. The ending was cute, but this isn't how I wanted this experience to go. So yeah, at the end of the day, I'm sad about this one. Also, the action definitely picked up in the later portions of the story. Thankfully the audiobook narrator was freaking fantastic and breathed new life into the story for me. I was just like, nooooo, that can't be it.Īfter that disappointment, I switched to the audiobook in the hopes of being able to get through it more quickly. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. Had I somehow imagined it all? Did I make it all up in own head?Įventually it was revealed why it wasn't making any sense to me and I was so disappointed. I started to think maybe I was misremembering the end of the second book. It didn't seem to be touched upon at all. I wanted to know what happened from there. I just couldn't get into it and also, I was confused.Īll I could think about was that amazing cliffhanger from book two. Taking over 20-days to finish a book in this genre is pretty unusual for me. I picked Heat Wave up on July 2nd and finished it this morning. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. There was a cliffhanger ending to the second book that left me with hives and my jaw on the floor. Additionally, I was having a lot of fun just being back with the characters I had grown to love. While it started out a little slow, by about 40% we started getting some startling new revelations that really helped to build the intensity. The second book in the series, Flash Fire, which I read in 2021, wasn't quite all the stars for me like the first book, but I still really, really enjoyed it. It was such a fun story and concept, with a great friendship group at the middle. It was my first time reading from this author and I loved how rapid-fire and intelligent the writing was. When I read the first book in this series, The Extraordinaries, in 2020, I was blown away. I feel let down after anticipating this release for so long. This hurts me, so I'm not going to beat around the bush.
