The Case for Jamie audiobook

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 realistic with captivating internal monologue and a powerful relationship between the two. Brittany Cavallaro is an immensely talented author and I cannot wait to see where she takes this story in the final installment.As A Study in Charlotte and The Last of August both are told entirely from Jamie's perspective, I ADORED the introduction of Charlotte's POV. The story felt finally complete, even though I don't believe anything was previously missing.I will note that this novel is less plot-driven compared to the first two installments. I found this story to be a tad more mellow (though it does not lack action scenes) and the mystery was not as strong as the previous books. That being said, due to the fabulous characterization, I couldn't be any less bothered by it. It's still an engaging story.The Charlotte Holmes series is absolutely fantastic. If you have yet to start it, I would HIGHLY recommend.

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 plots that tick like a Swiss watch, all rendered in these perfect, crackling sentences. She’s a published poet, and it shows.If you love the great worldbuilding of sci-fi or fantasy, you’ll love this series. If you love the voice and emotional intensity of contemporary, you’ll love this series. If you love the twists and turns of mystery, you’ll love this series. It truly has something for everyone.Do yourselves a solid and pick it up. Pick up the first two books in the series if you haven’t. You’ll thank me.

“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 been quite some time since i’ve been so incredibly attached to a set of characters. that goes along with the fact that this book was very character-driven compared to the previous two installments. the lack of plot used to bore and lowkey annoy me in the beginning, but i ended up not minding it as much after half of the book, since brittany cavallaro’s writing of the characters just improves with every! single! book!i’ve especially been loving the addition of the chapters with charlotte’s pov since she truly is a gem. and the epilogue! oof it was so cute, i would really die for them huh? → 4 stars

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!

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 READ THIS SERIES. I know the concept sounds weird, but IT. IS. SO. GOOD.

"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 bitch was here for it. so. damn. here. for it. 2. the fcking pLoT tWiSt boi!!! it was sincerely the best one in the entire series. i was shaken to my core and it was just very well done. like the overall pace of this book was all over the place but that twist almost made up for itoverall i am going to re-read that epilogue everyday until i am post-menopausal and am growing chin hairs. and even then i'll probably keep reading the epilogue. i'm a dumb bitch, and that hasn't changed the entire time i've been alive. night night

All these mystery books are the reason why I have trust issues.

Seriously, I LOVED this whole series, and if this is the end, I can deal with that, but I would totally love more.

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:

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

5/5 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 slightest. The plot was so full of new revelations that I was kept on the edge of my seat the whole time; it was almost like a reading a thriller in places! And best of all, Jamie and Charlotte had SO much character development. I absolutely loved how in this book readers got both Jamie and Charlotte's point of view, and the alternating chapters worked so well. I identified with and liked Charlotte so much more after reading from her POV. The alternating viewpoints allowed the plot to move forward with zero confusion, while still allowing for complex character evolution.Based on the greatness of the first and last book, I highly recommend this series to fans of YA mystery or Sherlock Holmes retellings! Even with the meandering second book, the series as a whole is worth it.

“But also I miss you so much that sometimes I feel like I can't breathe.” MY CHILDRENI LOVE THEM

This book was a bit different from the others in the series so far as it didn’t really have a main mystery to be solved but I still really liked it! The ever-changing relationship between Holmes and Watson is always an interesting dynamic and I love how things ended up in this one. I love how Cavallaro uses multiple plot lines that converge into one. The pacing was really well done and I liked some of the expansion of characters that we got in this story. I’m really interested to see where things go in the final book!

A really good third book, I dont think the book series felt complete so hopefully the forth book isn't just a novella.
