Review Quotes:
"When I say I was not expecting this ending, I mean it! Normally I'm great at predicting what's going to happen, but not with this one! I read the last sentence of the last chapter and was like 'WHAT THE HELL!' The epilogue was more than nice touch from the ending, BUT STILL! I need more!" - 5 stars, Goodreads Review
