Praise for this book
This book wrecked me—in the best way. If you thought A Mother’s Justice was intense, wait until you dive into this one. Dustin’s story gets darker, heavier, and so much more personal. I felt every twist like a punch to the gut. Just when I thought I knew who to trust, Barns ripped the rug out from under me.
The ending left me staring at the page in shock. Heartbreaking, maddening, but brilliant. Barns doesn’t write ‘easy’ stories—he writes the kind that stay with you long after you’ve put the book down. This series is hands-down my new obsession."
