I have never cried, gasped in horror, and clapped out of joy so much while reading a book. This book was perfect because it is a true story ( which makes it even more heartbreaking) but it ends...... well I am not going to tell you how it ends you will just have to read it yourself to find out. But I do like how this book has all 3 books of the series in one. It made it easier for me because I did not have to buy multiple different books in order to finish the series.
