WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THIS RIDE I JUST FINISHED?!?! I am in a very emotional state filled with frustration at Tori and Darcy, anger and murderous towards the antagonist, and this situations that happen throughout this story! I’m invested in the series, but need a moment to register all my emotions and feelings towards this novel. Tori and Darcy are ripped from their world and tossed into the Fae world overnight and told to survive or drown. With few welcomes and more hatred and dislike thrown their way it seems almost impossible to manage..but they do! I connect with the general survival and struggles that Tori and Darcy go through, however they leave me with many questions to their actions or inactions! 

I recommend this novel for others, but if the reader has triggers associated with GRAPHIC bullying and emotional abuse don’t read this series.
