Having finished this final book in the series, I realize I had much higher hopes for these books. Overall the series was OK, it was slow burn RH where street kids are sent to a prep school to help take on the cruel and powerful at the school. More often than not these characters, whom I expected to be badass, had their asses handed to them 9 times out of ten. These books take on so many serious topics but now it almost feels like the majority was for shock value. Every imaginable despicable act goes on at this school and the amount of sexual blackmail and belittlement of these young girls is outrageous. I’m glad the series is over, I didn’t really bond with the characters and I often found myself sucked in hoping and waiting for something amazing to happen or do really the character finally show their “street side.” This last book was kinda rushed. At 50% she finally sleeps with one of the guys and thusly the rest throughout, but that’s way too many sex scenes crammed into a slow burn final book. It was ok, I feel more disappointed and I was expecting a lot more ?

This was my least favorite book in the series. It just seems too much. I can't see a private school allowing all of what happens to happen. I don't understand why there are never any adults around ever. The characters have also done a 360 on their personalities and it's hard to envision them.

Recommend: Yes<br />Spice: ?️ <br />Age recommendation: 16-30+ Years<br /><br />Plot: <br /><br />As we head into book 3 the group has chosen to finally date Eden for real. They also band together again to take down Trip. Eden finds her sister living with Tyson, Luke brother and learns that she left on her own and is happy where she is. As the book goes on we learn that trip has big plans and ends up kidnapping Eden after she gets back from finding her sister dead from suicide cause Tyson left her. The K boys find her and save her. They manage to take them all down and finish school with a diploma. They all plan to move into a place near each other and continue there relationship and Dorian joins into the harem.<br /><br /><br />My feelings:<br /><br />Ok so this book is suited for ages 16+ as there isn’t really any spice. There is a tad bit more then the last 2 but not really anything exciting. Very PG rated.<br /><br />The writing is good and keeps you engaged even without the spice. Im not sure if this is the Authors earlier work as I’ve read some others that were more R rated then this, but all in all great book. <br />Only negative thing is I felt the ending came out of no where like the author had just had enough and finished it. <br /><br />“The guys glance at one another, a ripple of understanding passing through them. Hawk speaks. “We’d like to, um, date you.”

I was honestly surprised by her sister and her attitude. I wasn’t expecting that at all, and what she had become. I was sad though when she died and the letter she left for Eden. I’m glad that she was able to help Rochelle and the other girls her age. I was glad that she helped the younger girls become stronger and teach them to be themselves and not let a game or man manipulate them. When her and Rochelle got kidnapped I was so surprised at what happened. I’m glad she got the answers from Trip that she needed. I’m glad they were all able to go to college and start a new chapter. I wasn’t sure if Dorian would be a part of that, but he was and it was a good ending.

The spice has arrived I REPEAT THE SPICE HAS ARRIVED!! <br /><br />The ending of this series was so worth it and so good! No more fading to black I finally got what my smutty little heart wanted!! <br /><br />The finally book wraps everything up for us. While some endings were sad the rest were amazing and everything I could have hoped for. Also… that age gap? While it didn’t go to far into it at the end we finally got our answer! While I wish it would have happened sooner so we could have really got to know them as a couple I’m just glad it did.<br /><br />I recommend this series. Just know it’s not spicy even though the last book is the first two are definitely not. The bullying is minimal. There are dark parts to this series so please read trigger warnings. Super quick read.

<strong>Amazing!</strong><br /><br />Well I must say that when I first started this series I had no idea what to think. The description was vague and didn't really give away any clues on what to expect. But what I got was simply a story to remember. What a perfect ending to a very well written story. Wow I didn't see half of that coming but I live how Angel didn't shy away from the hard parts. Trigger warning for sure with this series but a must read if triggers don't bother you!

Okay read. Not boring. The one thing that really made this fall short was how the climax was still so anti-climactic. I need the details and it was like a step was missed because one blink then BAM all over ??

Oh. My. GOD. Angel Lawson gave me exactly what I wanted when she wrote Sparrowood Academy #3. This book! Not only did it give me the resolution I was BEYOND antsy for after the first two, but it also provided so much more time with my favorite group of boys!<br /><br />When book 2 ended, things were a mess (obviously, thanks Angel) and so book 3 picks up right where we left off, with my boy Hawk getting his ass kicked into gear by Damien and his friends as they figure out how to find Eden who ran off (her M.O.). The story brings our group back together, but they have to learn to trust one another, open up to one another, and Eden is almost desperate to know if the boys feel the same way she does, and if so, how would it work? Not only that, but Trip is still trying to run the school, and Eden is one step closer to finding Hope.<br /><br />Angel delivered a novel that brought all of these threads together, but also gave Eden the life she was looking for. I laughed, I cried, I screamed at the characters for their choices; all signs of a great book. To be honest, I already miss the guys (Hawk especially, my boo) and I can't wait to start the series over from the beginning. Angel, thank you. This series was wonderful.

<strong>Epic </strong><br /><br />What epic ending to such a great and fore filling series. There some amazing twists and turns but I love every bit of it.

Enjoyed the conclusion to the storyline and the characters. I’m glad everything worked out, though there was still bumps and kinks along the way!
