This book was a bit much for me. It is very heavy, even the parts we are supposed to cheer for. I think I was supposed to be happy at how the ending turned out, but I wasn’t. While this one localized issue was resolved, what about the rest of the world? 

I also had some questions that were unanswered. If other women like the three main characters exist and have existed for generations, how isn’t there a larger network of them?  

After certain characters were introduced I knew fairly quickly they’d end up being the bad folks, but I didn’t know how. I almost DNF this audiobook several times but I did ultimately want to know how it ended.

had more of a Jeffrey Epstein/Guilayne Maxwell vibe at the end, wasn’t expecting that.

Absolutely insane book. Loved the mystery element and actually enjoyed the characters so much that the flashbacks at the beginning weren’t too jarring, and when you get into the meat of the story they become so good. The description says it best that’s it’s a rage scream of a book, and while some women may not have had these experience there are a lot who have or know ones that have. The revenge aspect was very satisfying but it takes you on a ride before you get there!
