I wanted more!!"-Claire @ Goodreads"Rarely do I get so sucked into books like this where it feels like every page is something that affects me on some level...It was such a raw and brutal, heart-tugging experience...this one got under my skin in a profound, memorable way...You can tell that B Muze wrote this from her heart and her passion and respect shines through these pages."-Gillian H @ Goodreads"a well-crafted and ORIGINAL plot ... hard to categorize, or even compare it to other books because I honestly can't think of others like it ... I really got into it I couldn't put it down!" -Cale @ Goodreads.
