I have literally just finished this book and I don't quite know where to begin. The revelations in this book are huge. In my reviews of the first two books I kept saying how I want to know about Josie's past, how she came to be the person she is. Well Lisa gave me that in spades in this book. Josie's mother is beyond shocking and we most certainly find out how Josie became the woman she is. I definitely feel like I understand Josie's character much better after these books. Josie Quinn has been through hell and back throughout her life. Lisa was not afraid to go into all the details of Josie and her childhood.
The book flicks between the present and varying points of Josie's childhood. Lisa reveals just enough information about the past to have you screaming OMG and while I worked out something about Josie before it was explicitly revealed., I'm sure that Lisa planned it that way. There is a certain sense of satisfaction when you get something right in these kind of books because it doesn't happen often.
This book will pull you this way and that. It will tug on your emotions and it will leave you feeling a down right emotional wreck by the end. It feels weird to say I adored every page because there were some real gruesome and horrific events but they were all necessary for the story. I was hooked from the moment I read the prologue and I devoured every page.
I really hope that this isn't the end of Josie Quinn because now I know her past I need to know her future too.
