I knew that the child within this book was going to be something else but Janie was way worse than I expected her to be. She disrespected Hannah on a daily basis and drove her to a psychotic break. She tried to kill Janie for all of the crazy things that she has been doing such as urinating everywhere, throwing feces on the walls, killing animals and bullying other children. I honestly did not understand why Christopher always took the side of Janie even after it has been proved how manipulative she is. This book just threw me into a world wind and I can’t wait until the next book comes out.
