dark emotional sad medium-paced

1.5

I know that there are different books for different people but this really was not for me. I know books can make us feel all the feels but this one was really very depressing almost all the way through. I gave 1.5 stars rather than 1 because it did have me hoping for Salem and Thayer there for a bit. I saw there is a book 2 but I have no desire to put myself through stuff like that again.

I’ve never read anything better. I was crying, breathing hard, heart was palpitating, thought I was going to throw up. I am so gut wrenchingly distraught it’s not even fathomable. I downloaded the second book as soon as I finished the first.
