“We are the choices we make.”

If you thought the first book in the series was good, just wait for this one. I’ll admit, I was a bit frustrated with the slow start, but once the pace picked up, it never stopped. There were other details I think that were unnecessary and oddly placed

such as Davey’s death. I really think that there was an incredible opportunity to see their friendship develop more, and his death wasn’t given the space it deserved because so much else was happening at the same time.

. The way that manipulation is written in this book is absolutely phenomenal, and really illustrates the actual process and thought behind the manipulation. Overall, just a great read, and I cannot wait to read the final book of the trilogy.
