meganpbennett's review against another edition

The sections of Kya living by herself in the swamps wasn't appealing to me, while the murder mystery was, and there wasn't enough murder mystery to keep me reading to find out more.

Chills. when i tell you i had chills reading this book………. ridiculous. amazing. i’m speechless. it’s been a long while since a book has left me feeling this way. the imagery and the personality and just everything about this book had me smiling, laughing, crying, hurting, and feeling so many more emotions.
