This book sat on my shelf for a looong time. It seemed daunting to start because of the length, but I FLEW through it!! Why I questioned reading a SJM book, I don’t know!

I also did a buddy read for this and I 100% recommend reading SJM books with someone! Doing a buddy read made it that much more fun to be able to react with someone else. Be pissed together, hate Sabine together, come up with theories as to who the killer was together, throw down my book and run to post my reactions in the buddy read! It was so much fun and added to the experience! DO A BUDDY READ!

I loved Bryce and the banter between her and Hunt. Loved the pack, Lele, Fury.. some of the twists were predictable, but I still couldn’t stop reading! As with most SJM books, you fall in love with the characters. Then cry through all the gut wrenching parts, you’re mad, you’re shocked, you’re happy, you’re sad, you’re crying because you’re happy, and crying because you’re sad. A rollercoaster of emotions and I’m here to enjoy the ride!!

I  enjoyed how this book wrapped up the story. There are still some questions left unanswered, but not a GIANT cliff hanger.
