A solid short follow up to a decent read! I liked seeing the characters again years and years later, the new added layers and conflict. It was an interesting look into after the story happened. I wanted even more, honestly!

after I finished reading, I learned that this is actually #1.5 in the series. I will now be reading book #1

“She was a rabid dog, Christopher, and I put her down.”

that was absolutely crazy. Hope Janie is the definition of the tragic  "child can't be helped" story. sometimes no matter how hard you or anyone else tries you can't reform everyone. some people are truly evil.

Hannah's actions blow my mind. maybe I'm incapable of understanding because I'm not a mother; but I'd never even think of

actually killing someone

I completely understand wanting to keep your child safe and I also understand how post partum can completely change who you are; I just couldn't fathom.

the ending left me with more questions than answers. what happens next?

Janie continues her manipulative tactics but this time she doesn't get away with it.
