End of the trilogy!

Wraps up Crank and Glass with a few new povs, this time from three of the children who were abandoned by Kristina/Bree. Hunter lives with his maternal grandmother, Autumn lives with her paternal grandfather, and Summer has been in the system, passed around from foster home to foster home.

This series is loosely based on the author's own addicted child and this third book seems to highlight how Kristina/Bree's addiction affected her children even though she wasn't really even in their lives.

These are all a WILD ride filled with drugs, alcohol, SA, rape, child abuse and abandonment, and more.
