The plot is finally coming into view. I really think the second and first book could’ve been shortened into a single book. Less repetition and more show no tell and it would’ve done really well. The plot and characters are hard not to care for. Dramatic plot but that’s the fun part.

Please don't expect a coherent review because this is mostly overtired babbling but anyway...

If you think the first book is dark then oh boy do I have news for you!

The thing with these books is that despite the spelling / grammar mistakes, being confusing to read, the fact that it could probably do with an editor all fall by the wayside when stacked against wanting to know what happens to these damaged characters. 
Seeing the mysteries of their lives unfolding, the horrific incidents they've been through / go through, the constant tension of when they'll 'go too far' just absolutely grab hold of you. Or they did for me anyway!
I read almost all of this book in one day; I stayed up until 2am last night to finish it. 

And christ there are some horrible disturbing scenes in this book. But all I can think about is that I wish I had today off to read the last book 😅 
What sorcery is this??

gonna need a fucking therapist after this oh my god. i actually don’t know how to process what the hell i just read but i’ve got book 3 and i cannot read anything else because i can’t stop thinking about this. 

ANDREW, NICKY AND RENEE NEED PROTECTING AT ALL COSTS. NOBODY TOUCH THEM. quite literally if anything happens to renee i’m throwing hands.

although i should’ve looked at trigger warnings before i read this (rookie move when reading ATFG) so please be aware of the content warnings.

doy 5 porque no ha habido beso.
Me encanta que Neil se este haciendo a la realidad de que tiene una familia y que todos se esten dando cuenta de que, efectivamente son familia. Que vayan conociendose y curandose juntos. Les quiero mucho, a todos y tengo ganas de que le den de hostias a riko y a su tio. 
La escena de accion de gracias es sin duda de las escenas mas duras que he leido, el punto de vista de Neil es aterrador y es asi como lo hace llegar. A pesar de que no me gusta como han querido llevar algunos temas, esa escena es muy cruda pero necesaria para el punto de la trama. 
Espero leer pronto a Andrew y al equipo de vuelta. 🖤
