Old traumas are re-experienced, even worse this time. And now, all of Brexleyโ€™s new found friends and family get to join in, as well.

Working together, our characters never lose hope, which helps keep them going, as well as us, the reader.

By the last chapter, everyone is pretty severely traumatized by the events of this book, and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing how they all work through their demons, and see them get their revenge in the final installment.

โœ… Another โฌ†๏ธ in the ๐ŸŒถ๏ธย
