Great book very graphic but good
very good book the main character although is given multiple chances does not have any type of character development, we see her environment and how her circumstances mold to her demise. This book did a great job in selling a story fictional or not. I Just ordered the second part of these books and is so content to see how part 2 will roll out for the character.
