This has been on my TBR for the longest time, but for some reason it took me forever to read. It’s deep and dark and actually the twists and turns had me so anxious reading. This is jam packed with triggers and spins and so much info.

I enjoyed this one for the most part! I did find it hard to follow at times but other than that, I really liked it! The plot twists were shocking and I didn’t guess them!
