I know I am quite late in starting this series because it is all the rage at the moment. Let me tell you, this book will rip your heart out and stomp on it until it is bruised in ways you have never heard of till now!

The action in this book (the violence) is amazing, because you will get a badass girl who does things that will make anyone’s toes curl. (Let me highlight a part from the synopsis, it was certainly a very dark story).

There is a bit of romance in the novel, which was well appreciated at times until it wasn’t anymore.

If you haven’t read this book I would recommend you to do it. But be forewarned that once you read it, you might go into existential crises for quite a while because of the events that clearly occur in this book.

It is indeed a fantastic read. It will kill you, but still fantastic. J

There are so many surprises in this book which made me really shocked.  I would really suggest you read the novella Destroy Me before you get to this book, the reason being y...
