Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier

Solid book with a surprise, twist ending. I still can’t decide how to feel about Geo. Was she basically a good person to whom bad things just happened? Was she a selfish person who only wanted others to think better of her?
And I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Kaiser. He finally got what he wanted in the end, but was it worth it for the shell of a wife and mother I’m sure she’ll turn out to be?

I am not sure what I was expecting going into this one, but I will say, I really ended up enjoying it! I don't think I"d consider it horror by any means, but definitely a good thriller. The story kept me interested and I never once considered stopping. Gio was an interesting character, from the "spoiled" girl we first meet, to the meek version entering prison, to the badass she became. I like reading about her transformation, and enjoyed how the story ended.
