This book is merely dark honestly but it is so captivating. You definately notice a difference between Pip in the previous books and this one. But it is still a mesmerizing book.

Moderate: Animal cruelty and Cursing

This book definately contains A LOT of explicit scenes pertinent to murder and how to cover it up. Also includes emotional abuse. The talk about murder though is categorically the culmination of all things, specifically the dread of death and the covering it up as mentioned earlier. This also rrgards to getting away with it and different ways on how to succeed it, along with framing it on someone else.

kat_a's review against another edition

It got just really confusing and I couldn't imagine it was well as I was able to wirh her previous work. This confusion and muddled detailed had me put it down temporarily. I also have a concussion which only added to my delayed attitude when picking it up and wanting to read it. I'll most likely pick it back up later in the year or maybe even in a few days. I love Holly Jackson, but I'm just not in the mood right now it seems.

I just put all the warnings I could think of in the graphic section. I'm very tried and recovering from a concussion currently. Apologies for the messiness and lack of organization.
