Fucking crappy book, I can't tell you how stressed out this book left me, I spent the last 10% with chest pain, I had an anxiety attack, I hadn't had one in weeks, the way this damn author who writes romance gave me such a bad time, and now realizing what I could have saved myself if I hadn't read it, all the theories I now have and can't corroborate them, I was mentally and physically drained, I hate you Collen Hover. The way the book progresses at first I didn't feel it was so overwhelming, but as soon as I started to finish the book, several disturbing events started to happen, which made me on the edge of my seat, I was so uncomfortable as the author was unveiling the Plot twist, and yet without me knowing I ended up with two versions of the book which only make me more stressed because I can't decide which one I have to go for. I found the ending so twisted I almost threw up, the way these characters are not forgivable in any way, everything they do is so bad, I don't feel bad for the things that happened, they don't deserve to have had their "happy" ending and with the extra chapter, it just further confirms my theory on how much I hate men and Collen Hover.

I finished this so fast and when I wasn’t reading it all I could think ab was reading it. The suspense was built up so perfectly until it the climax but the climax just ended a little too soon. The ending wasn’t satisfying but overall great read. Loved the plot, the characters, everything, felt like I could see what I was reading.
