The Hand On The Wall (Truly Devious #3)

TRULY DEVIOUS BOOK 3: The Hand On The Wall

HOLY. FUCK.

You thing the plot twist at the end of "The Vanishing Stair" was something? Wait until you read the first chapter in "The Hand On The Wall"! I swore at least a dozen times in two pages. Like seriously.

And then all of the subsequent plot twists. I swore a lot while reading the last book in the original Truly Devious trilogy.

["Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie’s greatest triumph . . .

She knows who Truly Devious is. She’s solved it. The greatest case of the century.

At least, she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy, it’s hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow—somehow—all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.

Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it’s time for Stevie to do something stupid. It’s time to stay on the mountain and face the storm—and a murderer."]

Really, you need to read this book (this entire serious). 

I stayed up far too late last night so I could finish this. It was messing with my anxiety, and I figured that if I finished it, it would make me feel better/calmer. It did...sort of. I was felt at 11:30pm feeling that glorious book high. But also those jittery/anxiety feelings. I was literally shaking. It took me hours to go to bed. Once I did find sleep, I felt so much better (and sooo soo much calmer).

Now I need a nice fluffy book to keep my calm for a bit. My anxiety just gets too high with these murder mysteries/psychological thrillers. And yet...I can't seem to stop reading them. ;D
