Amazing book! Adventurous but you have to read the first book to understand a few things. Suspenseful and had me reading till 12:30 last night! Amazing plot and amazing characters.

those last few chapters? i was there with her. that was fucking scary. incredible. never wanna go through something like that again.
 happy i was able to guess who they are 191 pages in. never fully trust people who are kind for no reason. they also just groomed her to do bad things and just fully let her anger out. did pip go to therapy after the last book? she def should go now.
i hope max dies next. or go to jail forever, then immediately die bcs they beat him to death.
wish i could tag the cw for betrayal bcs fuck ant & lauren.

the beginning of the book was not as catchy as agggtm. found it kinda hard to pick up, but i'm glad i pushed through, because once i hit the 20%-something mark i really couldn't stop. especially the last 40% of the book. holy shit. she's done it again. completely blew me away by the last few chapters.

The first half of this book is a drag, to be honest. The author spends a LOT of time trying to remind readers of what happened in the first book, rather than weaving that information into a new story. However, when the story picks up around 50%, it makes the whole journey worthwhile. Things get continually more tense with each page, and the ending will have you desperate to read the next book in the series, even if you've already sworn it off (guilty)!
