1.0

I was looking forward to reading this as I had heard good things and was excited for the author having the opportunity to have these books be re-releasing. Unfortunately, this book just was not for me. I found it difficult for me to get into it and struggled to connect with the characters in this story. I also do wish that there was a trigger warning for this book due to the child sexual abuse that occurs in chapter 22.

This book just proved without a shadow of a doubt that the Spencer family is the absolute superior Todos Santos family, sorry but I don’t make the rules.
