This book broke me lol. I've been reading fantasy romances since because this book was such a bummer. It's just a real feel-bad story. It doesn't have a happy ending as far as I'm concerned. So many terrible things happen from start to finish. I hated all of the characters.

Second book I have read by this author and it didn’t compare to her other one- this one was pretty confusing to me, weird pacing/felt slow at times, and I feel like it didn’t fully resolve the way I desired. 

Definitely had some twists and turns I didn’t see coming, but also had some graphic details of sexual assault/rape and murder that were just too much for me.


Not one I would recommend to others.

This book seemed to drag a bit for the first half of it. It gives you the impression that you can predict what is going to happen and in some ways you absolutely can. The twists are not predictable, but with the way that the story is laid out, I found the twists more confusing than shocking and engaging. I had to look up a book explanation once I finished reading to make sense of it all and once I did, it felt like the story made less sense. The book wasn’t all bad though. I found the diary chapters very interesting and engaging. It was just not as exciting as I had hoped overall.

please PLEASE check the trigger warnings  before reading!!

i felt like the coma chapters were really slow and dragged for me. the twists were okay but some of them seemed so pointless. some of the twists were unnecessary and awful. it brought the book down so far for me. there was no reason for some of the book content to be in there.
