AGAIN, CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

It was great to see Sibby. She's such a great character; reading about her is always hilarious.

As for the book, though, it felt like H.D. Carlton just wanted to have spice on every other page, and it became excessive at one point. The writing was also extremely jarring, one second, they're fighting bad guys in the woods, and the next, they're doing something spicy while the bad guys watch. So strange.

Also, who the fuck even is Addie's dad? The man came out of nowhere, wanted to stir up some shit, be an asshole, and then just... disappeared. We never talked about him again?
The letter from Rio at the end made me so happy... Maybe I should go find Rio fanfic about how he's been spending his life in Arizona.


This book was long. So so so so long. When I think back about the events of this book, my mind instantly feels like the first half was an entirely different book. 
Idk, I just didn't think the books were that good.
