"This book immediately hooked me as Addie is in such fear “they’re coming in”.<br/>Her paranoia is palpable throughout the book and it isn’t until later we find out what really happened to her.<br/>⠀<br/>With her brother now dead, she must go back to the place she never thought she would see again, home. She discovers she has a niece and decides to stay and confront her fears once and for all!<br/>⠀<br/>"
"Honestly? I havent read any of his other series, but I really enjoyed this one! Have you read his other work? "

"The Black Prism in the Lightbringer Series was also another great set of books by Brent Weeks. It is probably my favorite of his work so far."
