It has been a long time since I have finished a book and IMMEDIATELY felt like I wanted to reread it. I was still messaging my friend I buddy read it with 1.5 hours after finishing (when I SHOULD have been sleeping bc it was 12:30am) because I couldn't stop thinking about this book. I will be processing the ending for the next 77 business days. Please respect my privacy during this trying time. 

How soon is too soon to be emailing the publisher begging for an arc of book 2? Because I need it ASAP and in the meantime I'll just keep thinking about book 1 nonstop. 

This does NOT feel like a debut novel... It was masterful from beginning to ending. I was hooked and engaged the entire time and can't wait to reread it over and over. I will be bullying.... I mean encouraging....  everyone I know to read this book. It will be my personality for the foreseeable future. 

I have so many theories but have literally no idea which direction the author will go with the story and that makes me so excited.... And a bit nervous. 

Analeigh Sbrana has just become an auto buy author for me. 

(Even though it isn't out yet I did NOT receive an advanced reader copy. I purchased the limited indie special edition from Satisfiction prior to this book being picked up by a traditional publisher. I paid for this book and read/reviewed it voluntarily).
