4.5
The ending was not what I expected but I liked it. My main issue with the length was Vampa’s backstory (don’t think this a spoiler but alas) , the rest was fair length. I’d say it’s a page-turner for the majority of the book.
Graphic: Confinement, Infidelity, Grief, Murder, and Abandonment
Moderate: Child death, Death, Slavery, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Blood, Kidnapping, Suicide attempt, and Death of parent
Minor: Drug use and Stalking
