katieb_93's review against another edition

Couldn’t finish. The kid was given a kitten  and I had a bad feeling…  looked it up kitten is brutally tortured and killed. This book was interesting, and I had fully intended to finish, but I’m not playing around with animal torture/death. It’s the one thing I can’t handle.

I'm only giving it a 3 because I enjoyed her writing style. I HATED being left without any answers. I'd really love to see a second book or even a trilogy come out of this. 😭

This book kept me on my toes. I loved the story and all of the twisty turns. Although, Christopher made me mad throughout the whole book. Never considering or listening to what Hannah was trying to say. Let’s just say this gave me anger issues which I don’t have. But I enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the other book. There are trigger warnings. Animal abuse, physical abuse and violence

I found Christopher irritating. He was so blind when it came to Janie. This book was so frustrating. And what even was that ending? Where is the rest???

This book didn’t do anything for me and had literally no ending. Ass characters, favorite character was the innocent cat, Blue.
