Admission had us all baffled and full of questions. Deception showed us the truth but brought about more questions. And Reckoning summed it all up and finished it off perfectly!

The entire series is an edge-of-your-seat action and suspense driven experience that will have you wondering - is it only a matter of time before something like this really happens? I sure hope it doesn't. The characters lack a bit of depth (especially considering the amount of time you get to know them). You don't really get to know them because everything happens so fast. But with all the action that happens in it, you tend to gloss over that fact and just go with the flow.

The mystery behind "The School" is a big one. Of course you must realise there is something not quite right about the school, but you're not too sure what until to read about it in the second book and it turns out - things are worse than you could imagine!

But this final book polished it off cleanly - and I don't mean "the good guys win" type of thing - I mean, it didn't just keep going on until the very end. It finished with things that the kids still had to do, but that was fine because that (in a way) would have been a boring ending. It would've left nothing to the imagination.

But if you're in for a twist, a mystery and action, then definitely pick up this series of YA novels. You won't regret it.
