The Last of August Paperback – 6 February 2018

The Last of August is Brittany Cavallaro’s second book in the Charlotte Holmes series.Honestly speaking, I’m still running the story in my mind. It’s a complete whirlwind of events and my short circuited brain is not able to process all that at once. From what I understood, Charlotte’s uncle Leander Holmes is kidnapped and she and Jamie are trying to piece the events that happened before and after he goes missing. They seek Milo, Charlotte’s brother who is also a spy master for help and also because its isn’t safe for them to stay in Sussex in her home where her mother is poisoned. They are sent to Milo’s place in Berlin where they figure out Leander’s undercover operation and the connection it has with the Moriartys. And yes, August Moriarty, the only good guy from the bad side, whose death was faked (all that history is in the first book) is with Milo and Jamie is uncomfortable with him being close to Charlotte, given the history. There’s so much I’m still unable to follow and i’m confused. Ok, cliffhanger endings are good, but what was that?!!I still don’t get how almighty and powerful a 15 year old can be even though her last name is Holmes. Another confusing point throughout the book was, which i didn’t get until the end, is whether August Moriarty is evil or good :O
