After reading the trigger warnings, I was a tad worried if this would be too much. I found that everything that was used was touched on delicately, and not in vain, which I appreciated.

I enjoyed reading this book, and spent the whole day on edge the further in I got. I will say I was not ready for

Daphne's father to want to marry Silas

. There were some twists I expected, and all worked well! I would love to read a sequel on

if/how the group go about revenge against George.
