A beautiful story that made me cry. I will warn anyone about to read this one that it is tense for about 200 pages with a large foreboding feeling. I want to say that the storyline felt unbelievable that we should’ve been able to notice other pieces of it in the other books, but it’s written in a way that the mystery makes sense. 
I’m really hoping that there is another book written about Alicia, but for the most part, the story is done and there is redemption for a lot of characters.
