Amazing was always!
Format: Kindle
Frieda had been my favorite author since I started reading again last year. I've read every book and they've all been amazing, this one is no exception. I was hooked immediately! She's really good at grabbing you within the first chapter lol.
So many plot twists and the ending was phenomena! I see she has another book releasing this year and I am so excited!
