One rape scene about midway where young Alice is tricked into a situation where she is raped.

I tried to push through this book. However the info dumping and the cringy attempt at making Alice seem like a menace made it hard.

This was my first book at the Forty Thieves and I did very much enjoy it. I thought that the story flowed well and liked that it was from two different perspectives. I thought it was a little slow at times; though, I still flew through it. None of the characters were likable IMO and I wish the ending had taken a bit more time.

allielong19's review against another edition

There were storyline inconsistencies. The writing was awful. I just did not like it. I tried, I just couldn’t get into it.
