This book made me sob so much at the end. It was such a tragic story that made me hooked. It felt a little slow in the beginning but as you go through you will feel so sad for the characters. I really liked how different the Vianne was compared to Isabelle. The author showed diversity in the characters that made me love them (as well as hate some) but moral of the story it was an amazing, heartbreaking story about what war can do to people and how it can change them.
This book had such a bittersweet ending to it. I hated the two guys so much and I was happy how the Gorilla died. I just hated that the Jackal was smart enough to hide his dark, depraved self from so many people for so long. I love Olivia and how much of a fighter she is to survive along with Lucy. She felt great and like the two of them could be friends to help each other out. I cannot believe the Jackal was Carl, the same Carl that tried to pet Brutus and helped work on her house with Frank. He also had the nerve to say that his last words were “I love you” to Olivia. It's disgusting that he thought they had something special between them when In reality he was just a monster that deserved to pay for his actions. I feel back for the ex-boyfriend though. He learned that his father was the cause for so many terrors in the girls lives. I'm glad she won't have to live in fear anymore.
This book is such an eye opener to the criminal justice system back in the day and it's just sad to think that there are some people that might still be like that now. It was such a powerful story by such an amazing person who cares deeply about their community and the right for people to get the justice they deserve.
Honestly this book left me so surprised but in a good way. I loved the characters and the storyline. I especially love Kingfisher just because of his personality and the way he talks to people. The things that he says sometimes make me smitten. I also loved Searis because of her stubbornness and bravery. Also girlie can fight! The plot was amazing as well as the world-building. The spice was immaculate. I can't wait for the second book!
