Blue Noon (Midnighters, #3)

** spoiler alert **
Um...okay. Way to ruin the last book of an amazing series that had lots of potential, Scott. Thanks a lot.
The other two books were soooo good, crazily astounding. And most of this book was, too. Up until the last chapter, it had all the good stuff that comes with the Midnighters trilogy; action and suspense and excitement and thrill and eye-glue and heart-speed and all the rest of the kit and kaboodle. I was really happy with it and thought it was sooooo good...until the ending.
The ending completely killed it.
The only words I can come up with to describe it are, “What the HELL?!?�
It was really sad, bad, horrible, weird and confusing, not to mention the fact that it didn't make a lot of sense. Uh, okay...Jessica gets swallowed up by the blue time and can only live during midnight (how does that work?). For some reason Melissa and Jonathan are leaving Bixby and going to travel the world to find other Midnighters, since the blue time has somehow swallowed the whole world (and somehow Jessica is going to be able to go with them, even though she doesn't exist during the daylight hours). Rex and Dess get completely excluded and left out to rot away in Bixby (???@??@??@??!!?!?!?!). And Jessica's parents are left sobbing their eyes out, no clue what is going on, and are considering moving somewhere else, waiting until they get “more evidence� (of what? Scott didn't care to explain what the blazes he was rambling about. If it's “more evidence� of whether Jessica's alive or not, would you care to tell us?). Oh yeah, and the creepy fact that Jessica is going to be nineteen when Jonathan is going to be a vegetable of eighty years old.
Gee, thanks.
It might not have been so bad if Scott had written it better. Like, actually explaining things better, in a much less confusing way, and maybe not leaving a bunch of information out. And maybe not bringing up random, shocking statements and then not clarifying them. Plus the whole time gap thing; it was quite annoying when Scott kept skipping huge gaps of time throughout the books, especially at the end, and making us do the work of filling in the gaps.
Ugh. Talk about killing a good series.
Don't get me wrong- the rest of the book was still AMAZING. It was just the ending that ticked me off. I only took one star off for that. XD
