The ending made the discomfort and frustration felt during the majority of this book a little more palatable. If you want to be

p*ssed off at a POS cop abusing his power and grow tired of a bitchy MIL withholding a child from their birth mother, look no further. The scenes depicting the sexual violence are not graphic but are triggering for sure.

if you want more of an emotional (have tissues on hand) romance arc with less gore and suspense than Verity, this may be for you! Also, rest assured that nothing happens to the cat :)

hmmm… the end kind of fixed some issues I had with this, but I still feel like there’s a lot of problematic tropes at play here. Regardless, I had a good time
