There's nothing I truly object to about this book, and I rather wanted to get through it, but we're not clicking. For one, it's hitting a couple of my "no thanks" buttons: the Special Child and Everyone Fears Death. Oh well.

Also, I see I've done it out of order. Oops.

The ending reads like the opening lines for a sequel but otherwise a very very good read

There are chunks of this book where I was reading but zoned. That's how bored I was. This is unfortunate because I enjoy Tananarive Due and the first 2 books in this series. Also there were questions that still needed answers to... Like, What happened to Omari? Does Caitlin ever see her dad again?

SSSTTTRRREEESSSS!!!!  THIS BOOK HAD ME STRESSED TF OUT!
Due's writing always puts me in my feels, I am always riding the emotional roller coaster she puts me on. But this one right here....This one had me crawling out of my skin stressed lol. In fact I put the book down for some months and picked it back up for Blackoween in October. 

Following Fana and her decisions as a teenager had me beside myself lol. All the decisions everyone was making I felt like I could see their side but was still frustrated and worried about what was going to happen to them. The way this one ended tho, phew I'm looking forward to reading the 4th book just need to have some time to destress before picking it back up lol.
