Oh, God. How does Leylah Attar do this? She has created this amazing piece and I am at a loss for words over it. She knows just how to play the reader, give them a rush of excitement, surprise them with humor, and make them feel passionate yearning. Her words are heated and powerful.

"Vengeance only begets vengeance, more chaos, more darkness. Vengeance abducts us and imprisons us and mutilates us, and we suffer and suffer until we unravel its probing parasitic suckers from around us."

4.5 stars!
I really enjoyed reading this book. I absolutely loved the characters and the storyline may have been a little predictable at times but had so many twist and turns thrown in that kept it interesting.
