I read this so fast I didn't get a chance to mark it as currently reading on here.
All these mystery books are the reason why I have trust issues.
I should have skipped this, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe Cavallaro could pivot this series. With talk of a fourth book coming out I wanted something interesting out there in the world of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson. Instead this Young Adult pastiche in the world of Sherlock Holmes is lacking across the board. We somehow have no development of Charlotte and Jamie, there are no real deductions to be made, we still have Charlotte and Jamie in a toxic friendship and we get to s...
Okay, first of all I loved that we got way more of Charlotte's point of view in this book. Usually it's been 1 or 2 chapters, but this was about half and I enjoy seeing into her mind. Charlotte is so smart and her deductions are fascinating, but she also struggles with relationships and has been through some trauma so she sometimes spirals and needs outside help. She and Jamie haven't seen each other for a year at the start of this, since what happened with August. I got a bit confused with the
This series is seriously taking a deep sea dive in regards of my reading taste. The positive: - Because Charlotte and Jamie BARELY spend any actual real time together in this book there was a lot less of the unnecessary and honestly badly written "sexual" tension (aka Jamie staring/thinking/dreaming of Charlotte in "romantically" ways and apparent interest that is both creepy and honestly... what?? Why?) so that was okay. - It wasn't 500 pages long so it was over pretty fast.the negative AKA a l...
Seriously, I LOVED this whole series, and if this is the end, I can deal with that, but I would totally love more.
I honestly don't know how I can live without this series now that it's over. I'M DRAINED BUT HOW WILL I GO ON
5*my favorite out of the whole series1.) A Study of Charlotte ★★★★★2.) The Last of August ★★★★
dear all my goodreads friends and followers: READ THIS SERIES PLEASE. i just want somebody to talk about it with because i am trash for these characters. the ending was very fluff but very good & i can't wait for book 4!
I just love this series so dearly. Jamie is a top hero for me, and the stories just draw me in in the most addictive way. I still haven't gotten that 5 star feel for me yet...and I have hope that the final book might give me that, but either way this series is a strong win for me and just what the doctor ordered. Still could use more of that peril, though lol. Sorry not sorry.For more of my reviews, please visit:

4 stars! What a fabulous third installment! As someone who struggled with book two, I'm so pleased with The Case for Jaime. Book 4 cannot come soon enough!CW: mentions of rape and murder, substance abuse, PTSDThe characters in this novel are truly remarkable. Charlotte and Jamie are one of a kind. I believe I have yet to find a set of characters in a young adult contemporary novel that are more well-rounded, developed, and self-aware. It's so refreshing to follow two characters so raw and realis...
I just love Jamie and Charlotte so much. I love the complexity of these characters and their relationship. I didn't like this installment as much as the second book but I still absolutely loved it. I liked a lot of the relationship conflict in this book, but I thought the mystery wasn't as exciting (that's not to say that it isn't good; I still had a great time reading). I'm beyond excited that there's going to be a fourth book. I need more of this in my life. Ugh, I just love it so much. PLS RE...
"also, please don't use Reichenbach as a verb. xxxx"SHIT FUCK DAMN. this was something else. really. like the plot was pretty shit but there was something else to it that had me CHOKING. let's discuss:1. jamie & charlotte are obviously the reason i read these books and they were at their best level of angst. it wasn't that much of "will they won't they" so much as "let's desperately try to find a way to make this work even though we're not saying we love each other it's so obviously clear" and a...
You guys, the brilliance of this book. Where do I start. Okay. Let’s start with fact that we get a Charlotte Holmes POV for much of the book. Charlotte is one of the most incredible characters ever to appear in YA.She is genius, hilarious, sardonic, perfectly flawed and vulnerable. I would gladly read another 50 novels with her in them. Jamie is the most perfect best friend and foil for Charlotte.I really think Brittany Cavallaro is the Tana French of YA. She writes these gripping, intricate plo...
“being a woman with a contrary opinion does not render me hysterical.” these books sadly seem to be deteriorating in how much i’m enjoying them as the series goes on, which truly upsets me. that doesn’t by any means equal that this one is bad, but actually quite the opposite; i just have so much love for these stories and characters that makes me just want them to be as exciting as possible, which surely can’t always be the case.nevertheless, i just would truly DIE for charlotte and jamie. it’s
I love love this series! I started it because of I am a fan of any retake on Holmes and Watson and within the end of the first book I bought the second and waited impatiently for this third book! I love the characters in this series. Even the villains are amusing. I cannot wait for more books in this series!!!!! My quick and simple overall: so much fun to read about the characters. Plot was once again really good!
this book was probably my least favourite from the series, i write this with tears in my eyes from betraying my love jamieokay but for real WHY THE HECK WAS CHARLOTTE AND JAMIE SEPARATED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS BOOK??? like theyre sherlock and watson THEY NEED EACH OTHER TO BREATHE, this was truly saddeningbut also, the chapters that they were together were so bloody good and fjdlkajflka their friendship/relationship/detectiveship is just written so well and realistic. they screw up and get ups...
“I felt it. Felt everything. I knew I wanted to erase myself from the top down, like a drawing, and that still I wanted someone to touch my edges and tell me that they loved me despite them.” Pros:- complicated relationships: I love the relationships in this series, all of them are really messy and complex and I think that it makes them all so interesting. Jamie/Charlotte obviously have a messy dynamic, but I also love the relationship between Milo and Charlotte, and Leander and James a lot.
5/5 STARS! I am super happy to give this book 5 stars, especially after the not-so-great second book. But the final book in the Charlotte Holmes series completely lived up to the high expectations put in place by book one. All the qualms I had with the second book (confusing writing, confusing plot, confusing choices made by characters) were completely cleared up. The writing was tight and fast-paced once more, and the storyline was intricate and full of twists without being confusing in the sli...
