This book killed me from the inside. I can’t even deny it. The exploration of trafficking and non-consensual relationships and rape and child abuse destroyed my soul. The book wasn’t scared to describe things that are common occurrence these days.


To say I sobbed at parts is an understatement. I couldn’t give this book a five star because even though it was an incredible book, the realism and outcomes of some of the instances will be beyond belief. As happy as I am with the outcome, it still wasn’t believable.

I will continue to read books by this offer because they are incredibly written and I absolutely love Sibby. Her character and the way she is written into the story not being a main character is incredible and leads into Satan‘s affair.
