I used to love this book when I was younger. It is an easy read if it’s content isn’t taken into account. I wouldn’t say the storyline itself is fabulous- however it is easy to follow, with many twists and turns. It is graphic at times, but I feel like that is what made this book/ series so difficult to put down. Almost as if it was a “so bad I can’t look away” situation. I found myself NEEDING to find what happens next.

5.0

This is easily 5 stars for me. I’ve never read something so traumatic that may have entailed with a lot I mean kids locked in an attic you can say much buuut it was still pretty fast paced. But holy wow trigger warning ⚠️ there’s incest rape literally child abuse and child death. If you are sensitive to any of these things please do not read. I live my life with true crime podcasts and books so it’s hard to trigger but it still affects me. This entire book heavily breaks my heart. Though I wasn’t crying I still ached for all the loss I don’t even know what could possibly happen in continuing the series but can’t wait to find out
