I finished this hours ago and couldn't decide what I wanted to rate it. Let alone how I feel about it. I enjoyed this one about as much as I expected to. I have loved everything this author has written. If you are someone that struggles with the PTSD trigger, tread lightly. I had to pause for a day while I processed that was going to be apart of this one. But it felt right for this story, so I warn those who can't get past that trigger. This twisted retelling has me wanting more from these characters. My favorite in this series so far.
