This book I felt was somewhat of a disappointment compared to the first two. I felt that the writing was rushed and it was choppy with jumping between all the characters. Hoping the fourth book will be written like the first two. ( )

"The Edge of the Shadows," by Elizabeth George, is the third in her Whidbey Island series. There have been a series of suspicious fires on the island, and coincidentally there are a number of new people staying there, including siblings Aidan and Isis, who are staying with their grandmother, and Parker, a musician looking to play at a local festival. As Becca and her friends discover, all of these people have secrets, and some of those secrets might be deadly, possibly even more deadly than the secret Becca herself is keeping…. I had thought that this was the final book in this series, but evidently there will be one more novel coming out later in 2016; and, indeed, there are a lot of dangling threads at the end of this story. I’m still enjoying it, although there seems to be a growing repetition in how the characters interact. Part of this is, of course, because the main characters are teenagers and as such are obsessed with sex and romance and finding partners, but I’m beginning to find that focus a little tedious. Still, I’ll read the final novel when it comes out, if only for the sake of completeness. So, a milder recommendation from me for this one. ( )

Leuk boek in deze Young Adult serie van Elizabeth George. Ik geef het een 7,5, maar dat wordt hier dus een 8 = **** want een 6 = *** is te weinig. Dat het geen volle **** sterren krijgt komt omdat ik het hier en daar een beetje rommelig vind. ( )
