Welcome back to New York, 2119. A skyscraper city, fueled by impossible dreams, where the lives of five teenagers have become intertwined in ways that no one could have imagined.

Leda just wants to move on from what happened in Dubai. Until a new investigation forces her to seek help—from the person she’s spent all year trying to forget.

Rylin is back in her old life, reunited with an old flame. But when she starts seeing Cord again, she finds herself torn: between two worlds and two very different boys.

Calliope feels trapped, playing a long con that costs more than she bargained for. What happens when all her lies catch up with her?

Watt is still desperately in love with Leda. He’ll do anything to win her back—even dig up secrets that are better left buried.

And now that Avery is home from England—with a new boyfriend, Max—her life seems more picture-perfect than ever. So why does she feel like she would rather be anything but perfect?


SPOILERS AHEAD

Thoughts

The story follows on from where The Dazzling Heights left off, with our characters dealing with the aftermath of what happened.

I love Katharine McGee's writing style it is so easy to follow, especially when the chapters cover different points of view. Reading this was like coming back to old friends, these characters are just so well written and you just can't, not love them. McGee shows these characters warts and all and does not sugarcoat them.

With these characters it is so hard to choose a favourite, I love Leda and Watt I think they work so well together. Leda is able to be herself with Watt and doesn't have to hide who she really is from him.

I loved this story so much but I was so sad to say goodbye to these characters, I found myself devouring this in two days as it was just that good and just flew by so quickly.

With all these books the first chapter just knocks you in the gut and you need to carry on to find out how the character got to that point. We also follow the mystery surrounding Mariel's death and who committed this (I was quite surprised by this as I honestly never saw that one coming).

I found that I loved the ending and felt the character deserved what she had in the epilogue, and I just hope they manage to find each other.

Overall a great ending to the trilogy, and I am sad to see this end as I will always want more of these characters. If you haven't read the trilogy start, you won't be disappointed.
