by Lisa McMann  

 

Janie thought she knew what her future held. And she thought she’d made her peace with it. But she can’t handle dragging Cabel down with her.

And it’s going to kill them both.

Then a stranger enters her life--and everything unravels. The future Janie once faced now has an ominous twist, and her choices are more dire than she’d ever thought possible. She alone must decide between the lesser of two evils. And time is running out....

I read this book because I needed closure. Poor miserable Janie, poor loyal Cabel. This book gave me a little closure, at least they both ended in a good place, but the main problem was never solved. Irritating. I liked seeing more of Janie's background, I liked Cabel realistically trying to deal with the serious problems facing them, but the language was absolutely terrible and a huge turn off.

Mom note: As a mother of readers, I also want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures. Violence: mild, Profanity: YES YES YES, Sex: yes
