I wish this book went more into detail about HOW Sibby killed get father and escaped the cult, we never get a complete story about her past which frustrated me.

Honestly if you have read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline just skip this book. You get more of an insight to Sibby’s storyline but it could have been it’s own chapter in Haunting Adeline. There is not really any additional information that is helpful to the story.

i probably would have enjoyed this a lot more if i read it before the duet but i already knew the plot twist the whole time so it felt quite repetitive and slow paced despite the length. it was written well though and gave a lot more insight into sibby's past. this is definitely pretty gory and i think it warrants checking the TWs before reading this but it's not necessary to read to enjoy the cat and mouse duet imo. this worked for me because sibby was a girl and the "cleansings" were usually done on men (and not on any woman on page unless i'm mistaken) but if that was switched i would probably find this a lot more uncomfortable.
