Thalia does an incredible job portraying the emotions of the characters. I also enjoyed the ending as seeing things through another main characters eyes, not just Sadie's'. I would love if she continued the story in another book or even multiple books. Thalia's writing style is easy to read, focused, intense with touches of humor. Looking forward to reading more books or novellas by Thalia. Please read the trigger warning page in the beginning of the book though, to be sure you can handle it. I would not recommend to anyone under 18.

The Girl Next Door by Jack Ketchum.  This book was a slow burn. It started slow and took me about 6 chapters to really get into it. After that I could not put it down. All of the background info was necessary to really enjoy and understand the book. Without giving too much away, there is child abuse and Sexual assault but done in a tasteful way that it does feel like smut just for smut. There are a few twist that you don't see coming and at times you empathize with certain characters, even the one you hate. Would recommended to anyone.
