So I seem to be going against the flow in terms of initial reviews but here I go First cut ( or vent?) – I will probably come back and edit this when I’ve calmed down (and maybe reread it too)

I really don’t know what to say, other than I really need to stop ready series as I seem to be continuously let down by (relatively) below par third books, and with love triangles that end up making everyone look like a tool (in fact I should add a checklist – has the full series been released? Is it a love triangle?)

There is not a question as to if you should by the book or not – if you’re here, you’ve obviously read the previous two and it’s a no brainer, you can’t not read the third book (is it even the final book in the series? on one hand I hope so but on the other hand if that was it I will be even less impressed) but I did go in very high expectations so I probably would have liked the book more if I wasn’t expecting so much

Having said that I’m just sad. I really, really really want to be able to say I loved this book but I just don’t think I can – the three star rating largely comes from the fact I loved the first two so much I couldn’t bring myself to give this anything less (and I hate writing negative reviews – maybe on its own this book would stand up well but when placed against the first two it just sort of pales.)

The first two books in the series were awesome. Some of my favourite books – I liked the characters, it was something a little bit different and I was incredibly emotionally invested. But this one just really didn’t work – where was the good writing? What happened to all those characters I was emotionally invested in and spent two books falling in love with?
I really didn’t want to write a bad review, but to say that I’m disappointed is an understatement! What happened? This book epitomizes why I try to stay away from series books especially those that have love triangles. First, I love Amy Bartol’s writing and I have devoured every book that she has written and I’ve been waiting on pins and needles without complaint for the final book in the Premonition series to come out. She is one of the very few authors that can drag me kicking and screaming into reading series books when I try so hard to stay away from them, because I felt like this book did what all series books does and fell into the inevitable third book falls apart trap. What happened to the story line? The characters that I fell in love with, invested in, cheered for, rooted for, etc. were all but nonexistent in this book. They were reduced to blurbs! What happened to Kricket? Where was that fierce spirit that fought with every fiber of her being to be with Trey that I saw in the first two books? I felt like she just settled in the end. Everybody got a little bit of what they wanted and that was enough for her so she just leaves! To me, Kricket bordered on being selfish in this story. Just seemed like a huge disconnection between the first two books! Now I must say I’m really worried about the final book in the Premonition Series!

******Spoiler Alert***********

This probably gives away too much in the book, but I needed to vent because this is another reason why I so disliked this story:

The relationship between Kricket and Kyon was just unbelievable, and my mind was blown away with the fact that Amy took it that far with Kricket and Kyon. I thought she was so in love with Trey! She just gave up on him! I’m really supposed to empathize, like, love etc.
