This was the first book ever made me sick to my stomach.
But the ending was meh, so meh that it lost a star for me. Kind of lazy all is well let's leave it to maybe having a sequel ending. I was rooting for revenge and blood and.... I did not get it. Idk if it was rushed or did the author felt bored by her story at this point but meh.

I didn't like the ending.
Overall, I liked this book but I don't think it needs a second book.

There were several quotes that really stood out to me. I will share one them as I don't think it's a spoiler but it does give an insight what the message of the book is.
"This was the great shame of Bethel: complacency and complicity that were responsible for the deaths of generations of girls. It was the sickness that placed the pride of men before the innocents they were sworn to protect. It was a structure that exploited the weakest among them for the benefit of those born to power."
Minor: Child abuse and Sexual assault
