HO. LEE. SHIT. I did NOT see that ending coming. That's a thing I've mostly come to expect from Alice Feeney's books, but this one cranked it up to another level and I might actually need a day or two to recover before I can start something new. That's a thing that almost never happens for me, but the shock of the last several chapters of this one was insane, in the best possible way. The setting was impeccable and by halfway through I gave up trying to figure out where the story was going and just enjoyed the ride. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
