Who will take them down now that they have ruined so many lives?
What did I think of the book?
What a twisted book! Have you ever heard about a sociopath who brought in followers and controlled them like puppets. This book will show you how a weak minded girl can be taken over quite easily by someone who seems so trustworthy and honest. You find yourself yelling at Charlotte for being a fool for listening to Kade, but then also sympathizing for her because you realize how lost and confused she is.
