Mann, some chapters really need a warning, but i love my revengeful, power-motivated Rin who does a lot of wrongs that we all turn a blind eye to. Such amazing plottwists and you NEVER see them coming, it's like your blind spot when you're driving.

I am in pain. What was that? Who am I? I was in utter shock for the last 100 pages and I’m not sure what to think anymore. Overall I thought it was very good, but I will say that a LOT happened and part of me wonders if it was too much. 
I'm going to read the next book because I am hooked now, idk if I’ll survive. IF YOU HAVE ANY TRIGGERS DO NOT READ THIS - LITERALLY ANY
