I have not pre-ordered this one.. and I don't think that I will, lol. Will probably wait for a sequel. That may never arrive. Ugh.

Your reviews are always very informative and helpful! I read them often even if I don't comment. But I'm going to not read this based on your thoughts. I suspected it would be a bad end, but this confirms that I couldn't handle it!! If she does make sequels, I'll consider it. But this is why I struggle with prequels about characters we know aren't going to have traditional HEAs. It's hard to read the early happy knowing what is to come. Happy review and happy holidays!
