this book depicts quite well how women (and people who are read as women or (gender)queer) have to be cautious being alone outside when it gets dark - when a man is following terra during the night, it sadly didn't feel unrealistic at all...

unfortunately, there were some things that felt off to me. one of those being the chosen language: the teens in the chatroom use a lot of hashtags while chatting and that's just.. not how people text on the internet, every second sentence ended with something like #justsayin'. it was so annoying.

all the side characters felt flat and the plot twist was disappointing. you know this underwhelming feeling when authors come up with something and there were no clues about it and it just feels like it was their idea of solving the problem without having to change anything again? yeah. that's what it felt like.

on top of that, i believe a character dealing with mental health problems should not be featured as an unreliable narrator. or at least not like it's done in this book. it felt like the author didn't want the reader to believe that terra had been abducted.

this opens up a lot of discussions about (not) believing female victims/ victims who deal with mental health problems and i don't think this book did this very sensitive and important topic justice at all.


thank you netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest opinion.

Thank you to Wednesday Books for sending me an arc via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

CW: this book is about a girl who has been abducted. She has experienced a traumatic event, and her mental health is not great because no one believes her. The main character’s parents are dead. There is no sexual assault in this book however it is alluded to by a side character.

3.5/5 stars

I didn’t realize this was a part of a series until I started reading, but I didn’t feel like I was confused by not having read the first book.
I really liked the premise of this one. The main character Terra, is dealing with a lot of traumas in her past and the story is told in past and present. We get Then and Now timelines as we see what happened to Terra the night she got abducted and the time she spent in the well, as well as seeing her try to get past this traumatic experience and deal with the fact that everyone thinks she made it up. I liked the back and forth timelines because it helped to see why Terra was the character that she was.
I struggled a little bit with Terra as a narrator because she’s so clearly unreliable. Terra was losing time, she wasn’t fully conscious and aware of her actions, she ignored reminders to take her meds, and she admitted that she had been diagnosed with depression and delusions/hallucinations. These things all made it hard to feel sympathy towards Terra at times because what she was telling us had happened would be contradicted by other characters later on. I do think that the author did a really good job of showing how trauma can affect a person, and that Terra being an unreliable narrator was necessary.
My biggest issue with this book, and the reason that I knocked it down from 4 stars, was because of the ending. I felt like the book was building Terra up as this unreliable narrator, and that many things that she thought were happening were actually not. I did believe that she’d been abducted and kept in a well, but I didn’t necessarily believe in the troll doll and the storybook. It felt almost like the book was going for shock value with who the abductor was, and the whole second abduction just felt so staged and unrealistic. I did like how the author linked Terra and Peyton’s cases together, however, and it was actually pretty chilling to read.
I liked that Terra was trying to be a strong character, but I couldn’t connect with her because of her unreliability. Overall, I thought it was a good read, I was just left underwhelmed by the ending.

Thank you so much to Wednesday Books and Netgalley for letting me read an eARC of The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep! The summary of this book sounds so much like TV shows that I love, so I was sure that I would love The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep- unfortunately though, there were a few things about this book that made it... not my favorite. The last maybe 25% of the book definitely made the rest of the book a lot better though.

The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep 3.5/5 Stars

Summary from Goodreads:

Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep, a thrilling novel of an eighteen-year-old girl's search for answers and what she finds instead.
Four days…
Trapped in a well, surrounded by dirt, scratching at the walls trying to find a way out.
Four days of a thirst so strong, that when it finally rains, I drink as much as possible from the dripping walls, not even caring how much dirt comes with it.
Six months…
Since my escape. Since no one believed I was taken to begin with – from my own bed, after a party, when no one else was home…
Six months of trying to find answers and being told instead that I made the whole incident up.
One month…
Since I logged on to the Jane Anonymous site for the first time and found a community of survivors who listen without judgment, provide advice, and console each other when needed.
A month of chatting with a survivor whose story eerily mirrors my own: a girl who’s been receiving triggering clues, just like me, and who could help me find the answers I’m searching for.
Three days…
Since she mysteriously disappears, and since I’m forced to ask the questions: will my chance to find out what happened to me vanish with her? And will I be next?

So I kept waiting and waiting for the story to progress and for the things in this summary to happen, and they didn't really all come to pass until 75% into the book, which feels like really far into the book. Also, the switching from past to present seemed really weirdly done and sometimes it was hard to really understand what was going on. I'm sure that this was just an issue with the eARC/formatting, but it kept throwing me off. The book in general made me really sad- no one believed Terra about being kidnapped but she knew it had happened. There was so much trauma there and it hard to read, but when we got to the real action of the book, it was so good and I loved that part. That whole section really made the book for me- without that, I probably would have given it a lower star rating, and I honestly may not have finished it at all. I think if this book was translated into a TV show/series, I might have enjoyed it more, because I feel like with those kinds of creative liberties, Terra's story would have been brought to life in such a compelling and powerful way (well, at least the 75% I wasn't interested in). While most of this book wasn't for me, I do think that this book is worth a read if you enjoy that creepy/thriller/crime drama type of read, just be sure you know that the first 3/4 of the book are going to be slow goings.

Tl;dr: Like thrillers with unreliable narrators? Read this as soon as you can!

The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep is loosely related to Laurie Faria Stolarz's last book, Jane Anonymous, but no knowledge is needed to enjoy this tightly written thrill ride about a girl who has been kidnapped.

Or has she?

From the beginning, this one will keep you on your toes and on edge. Terra was abducted on her way home from a party and held in a well that, after several days, she managed to escape from. She's on edge and deeply in the throes of PTSD.

But. Terra also has a history of lying, of violence, and her family history is very complicated. Terra definitely believes she's a victim, and the book makes several excellent points about how we--society--still engage in victim blaming.

Again, but. Terra's recollections of events definitely differ from other people's and she keeps telling us, the reader, things that turn out to be not as true as they seem. And she's become obsessed with a girl she's beome friendly with online who may or may not be who she seems, and who may or may not be in serious trouble.

And when Terra goes to investigate, towards the end of the novel, I felt as confused and frightened as she did because I didn't know what was real and what wasn't, if Terra was in danger again or if I was as trapped inside her mind as she might be. It was absolutely chilling, and the ending was perfect--in fact, I sat there for a while, wondering, and the only conclusion I could reach was that this is one hell of a book, managing to be a thriller and a chilling look at the stories we all create to survive. In fact, I still wonder about that ending and the story it tells--is it a cry for help? A reminder that we all need to listen? Or a trip inside a story that made the story?

How can that not be mind-blowing? How can you not read this book? This is definitely for teen and adult thriller readers and is one of the best books I've read in 2021. Absolutely recommended. (Go! Read! It!)

tw: discussion of trauma, abduction, enclosed spaces, murder, victim blaming, death

Our main character, Terra, was abducted and kept inside a well for 4 days. Fast forward to six months after she escaped and people went from being worried and believing her to ignoring her and calling her a liar. Terra herself is struggling to believe herself and separate what’s real and what’s not.

I was debating whether I should rate this 4.5 or 5 stars because even though I ABSOLUTELY loved this book, it took me some time before I got super sucked into reading the book. Well… the decision has been made. The last half of the book was just so so good it overthrew anything not so good to me. My heart was beating so hard and I felt nervous, excited, and scared!!

I fell in love with thrillers months ago because they made my head hurt from so much thinking and questions going through my mind. The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep made me feel that way, times 2!! Just like Terra, I found myself questioning what’s real and what’s not. It convinced me of some things and then slapped me with the opposite in the end. Other reviews didn’t like the confusion, but I think that’s what made the book so good.

It filled my head with questions like, “Was she really abducted?” “Who took her?” “Is it this person? Or this other person?” I was literally suspicious of everyone around her. I was filled with so much doubt I even doubted the existence of some of the characters. Amazing amazing writing!!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. An interesting book, well worth reading. Certainly very unique and I enjoyed the storytelling within the storytelling. Def kept me guessing tho I can't imagine anyone could have guessed the twist with such limited clues given (though I did guess many of the twists that came before the final one...). I wish there was a bit more character development of both Terra and truly ANY other characters. This was def all about terra and her mind and it'd have been nice to have even one other character in the book (or possibly another perspective of Terra). All in all an interesting book, but nothing stood out that makes me feel any special way about it.

The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep by Laurie Faria Stolarz is a mystery novel about an eighteen-year-old girl who was taken from her bed at night and trapped in a well for four days before she escaped. It's been six months, and nobody believes that Terra was kidnapped. She finds out about an online community called Jane Anonymous where other survivors can help each other out and connects with one in particular. This story was a lot to handle, and I found it to be rather unbelievable. However, it is the second book in the Jane Anonymous series, and I didn't read the first book prior to reading this one. Maybe that would have helped. Thanks to NetGalley for the free digital review copy. All opinions are my own.

First of all, thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for granting my wish and sending me an eARC in exchange for a honest review.
You have to know English isn’t my first language, so feel free to correct me if I make some mistakes while writing this review.


TRIGGER WARNING: kidnapping, captivity, survivor's guilt, confined and claustrophobic spaces, post-traumatic stress disorder, gaslighting.


Six months ago Terra was kidnapped from her bed and no one believes her - not like in the beginning, when she just managed to get home dirty and traumatized. There's no DNA, no signs of a struggle, she's got nothing to prove she's been kidnapped.

Yet Terra had followed all the rules for survival and self-defense that her parents had taught her, but still it happened: you can be ready as long as you want, but that may not be enough.

And so, after losing her parents five years earlier in a fire that destroyed her home and life leaving her the only survivor grappling with a guilt she has struggled with ever since, Terra - who has had since that night a story of post-traumatic stress disorder, sudden escapes and disappearances at friends' houses - now she has to contend with even those who don't believe her: the police who have stopped following her case and accuse her of making them waste time, the friends who have turned their backs on her, the aunt who would like her to participate in a brand new experimental program in the psychiatric ward of the hospital where she works as a nurse.

Terra tries to retrace her steps that night to find the place where she was a prisoner and prove to everyone that she's right and in the meantime her only comfort comes from Jane Anonymous, a site where she found other survivors of tragedies that have marked them and that they don't feel understood by those around them in real life.

There's Peyton in particular, always online and always the first to reassure her - it's not easy for Terra to trust someone and open up, but Peyton is always there for her.
And Peyton also has a story similar to hers, which it takes ad increasingly disturbing turn when Peyton confides to her that she received in her mail a page of a book with some letters circled and forming a phrase: to be continued ...
Peyton fears it's not over, that her kidnapper is about to return and what can it mean for Terra when Peyton doesn't come back online? Is there perhaps a link?


To be honest, maybe I preferred "Jane Anonymous": it was more claustrophobic, more distressing, more terrifying.
But I also ended up devouring "The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep" in a couple of days, so much was my desire to know.

As in the first volume, here too the story is told in an alternating "before" and "after" - the "before" part, however, is shorter here than the one of Jane in the first volume.
Here we focus more on the "after", on Terra's effort to move forward because the missing of her parents has been joined by a mountain of other things she has to carry on her shoulders alone.

She has to rebuild a life at least in appearance to keep her aunt unsuspicious, she has to understand what happened to her and who took her, she has to remember to take her medicines, she has to do a lot of other things.
Her post-traumatic stress disorder is skyrocketing: she is paranoid, she always has some sort of weapon on hand, yet she doesn't feel safe - especially when she too begins to receive what appear to be clues or reminders of what she has been through. Isn't her kidnapper done with her too?

To make everything even more confusing is the fact that Terra is not a reliable narrator: she has a secret, you understand it right away and I admit that I thought it was the trauma of what happened to her at thirteen - but we learn about the fire shortly after. But it's not only because of that that she's unreliable: her memories are in pieces - she herself is in pieces - and very often she loses track of time or space, finding herself in places or in the midst of actions or speeches without knowing how she ended up there.

Everything she tells us - past or present - is hazy, seen and filtered through blurred eyes and plugged ears. And it's true, even a very small part of the readers find themselves doubting, wondering if she's hallucinating or who knows what, but nevertheless I hated that nobody believed her and in particular I didn't stand it from her aunt and her therapist - the latter was the first to call her crazy and wanting to convince her that she had made up everything. But what kind of therapist are you?

I tried to make a thousand hypotheses about who could be behind it and I gave up trying to guess in the end, precisely because the author makes you doubt everything.
She makes you doubt anyone in Terra's life and their true intentions - and it's a lesson that Terra has a hard time learning, who to trust and how much to open up.

Although I preferred "Jane Anonymous" in many aspects, I don't feel like giving a lower rating to this companion: even if some parts of it reminded me of "Stained" by Cheryl Rainfield (like a place where a certain character is held hostage and an alleged "lesson" is to be learned before they can escape), "The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep" is built better both as a setting and as characters and it got me involved in almost the same way as "Jane Anonymous" had thanks to the author's style, staging an evil made up of psychological games and subtle manipulation that I just would not have expected - and that perhaps for this reason too made me shiver.

Laurie Faria Stolarz is an author who makes you seriously wanting to check two or three times if you have really locked the door of your house because inside her books there's never a moment when you feel safe and sound.

This was a great story worth am unreliable narrator. I went back and forth every chapter whether or not she was telling the truth or not. Some of the moments were very heartbreaking. I really like it overall and would recommend it for young adult or new adult readers.

The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep started out with a strong premiss- Terra finds herself trapped in a water-well for four days— struggling to survive and escape. She eventually escapes, but her life continues to fall apart when no evidence of her captor can be found. Eventually, everyone believes she imagined the entire thing…

I was immediately drawn into this story, but soon found it to be entirely too vanilla. I’m typically a big fan of young adult books, but this one just felt too immature. Plus, Terra might be the most unreliable narrator you’ve ever met! Not my favorite thriller troupe. I also felt the story moved too slow and the ending was frustrating!

Even saying all that, I truly think this would be a good novel for really young teens just getting started with thrillers. Some horrible things happen to Terra, but it’s never graphic or overly done.

Three stars!

I recieved a free early access copy of The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep by Laurie Faria Stolarz through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It publishes March 16, 2021!

I gotta be honest, this book made me so mad most of the time. Both the book and the MC were disingenuous, cliche, and the writing felt so stilted. It was hard to get through even though the plot was decent.

Terra is a young girl traumatized after being abducted and spending four days in a well. Only, no one believes her and almost everyone thinks she is making it up. Six months later she meets Peyton on a chat site for survivors. But soon Peyton goes missing and Terra is determined to save her friend.

I felt so disconnected from this book and the characters. The plot, although interesting, fell flat for me. However, this book definitely deals with victim-blaming and I think the moral of this story is to encourage young readers to never victim blame. I’m really unsure about the book because I felt so disconnected from it. But that being said, I finished it and wanted to know how it ended so…

Thanks to Netgalley, the publishers, and the author for allowing me to read this arc

I had no idea that this one went with Jane Anonymous and I really loved the promise and I'm a big lover of unreliable narrators and what was done well there was something about it that just didn't seem right and kept me from loving it
I also love then and now/before and after type formats and this was done pretty well more of it was in the now. Put towards the middle of the story I started losing interest. The POV seem to get muddled and there was some confusion for me.
Then the ending felt forced and overall nothing was too unique or surprising.. it didn't turn out to be as intriguing and interesting and thrilling as I was hoping it was going to be but overall it was still a decent read and I think it could read well on its own as I didn't read the first one Jane Anonymous and again had no idea that this was the second book

**3.5-stars rounded up**

The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep is a companion novel to Laurie Faria Stolarz's 2020-release, Jane Anonymous. While they are considered companions, you absolutely do not need to read Jane prior to picking this up. They don't even share any of the same characters; you'll see the connection in a bit.

In this novel we follow 18-year old, Terra, who like Jane, is an abduction survivor. Unfortunately, in Terra's case, the details are murky and a couple of months after she is able to escape, there's still no concrete evidence. Because of this, the majority of people in her life do not believe her story.

Her Aunt, the Police, even the kids she goes to school with and considered friends, they all think she is making it up. The only place she is able to find solace is an online forum for survivors. Any time of day or night, she is able to find people on the chat who will listen and understand. This forum was created by none other than, Jane Anonymous.

Alternating between Then and Now sections, just like in Jane, we learn about Terra's abduction, her time in captivity, her escape and the aftermath. Through the online forum Terra becomes close with another abduction survivor, Peyton, whose abduction situation sounds very similar to her own.

Both Terra and Peyton are experiencing odd occurrences that cause them to believe that their abductor may not be done with them yet, but is it possible their abductor is the same person? When Peyton, one of the most frequent chat users, suddenly disappears, Terra becomes extremely concerned about her. She begins to look more into Peyton's case and what she discovers leads her down a very dangerous road.

This is a tense story, that at times can be frustrating. It's hard to read Terra's perspective; not being believed. It's a very difficult position to be in. I really enjoyed watching this unfold. Learning about what happened to Terra and watching her try to cope with life after she is free. It's gripping.

She's stressed, she's depressed and she seems to be spiraling. Proceed with caution if even this sentence sounds like it could be triggering for you. Stolarz definitely puts it all on the page, as far as mental health goes. I like it. I am definitely intrigued by her storytelling. With this being said, however, the last quarter of this let me down.

It was so compelling most of the way through, but for me, the ending, in contrast to the rest of the story, felt forced; like how can we wrap this up quickly? I don't know, it just didn't feel as serious as the rest of the story. It took a sharp right turn and left me scratching my head.

This is a good book though, for sure, so please don't let that dissuade you from picking it up. I am sure the reaction to the conclusion will vary with each and every Reader. Thank you so much to the publisher, Wednesday Books, for providing me with a copy to read and review. I appreciate it and will definitely pick up anything else Stolarz writes!

This book took me on a wild ride, one I wasn't sure how it was going to end.

It starts with a very unreliable narrator, Terra. She was kidnapped but all of the evidence points otherwise and this causes a lot of grief and anxiety for Terra. Luckily, she finds an online support group to share her fears and story. But we all know that people may not be who they appear to be online, is that the case here?

Besides her own life, she has become attached to one of the other survivors on the board, Peyton. There are other characters in the chat and it is interesting how they interact with each other and show concern for the others. I had to wonder why Terra was so honest with all of the details. I think her age and naivete played a part in her actions, she is 18 after all.

I felt for Terra and thought her character might be able to move forward. That is until nearly everyone seemed to believe that her story wasn't true. It is hard to prove when there is no physical evidence that proves she was kidnapped and her aunt doesn't seem to miss her for the four days she was gone. The stress of the event has Terra on edge and acting erratically. I can't blame her, I can't imagine the stress of surviving the kidnapping can take on a person.

This book had my thoughts and beliefs all over the board. I wanted to believe Terra, but here was all this evidence (or lack of evidence) that said otherwise. Thankfully, she has a new friend, Garrett, that believes her. He seems like a good guy, but in the back of my mind, I wondered if he was involved in the situation. The story picks up steam near the end as everything comes to a head. The truth was quite surprising and not one I expected.

Overall, we enjoyed this book and give it 3 1/2 paws

I liked the writing and the unreliable narrator. It was fast paced and I liked that it switched from present day and when she was kidnapped. I also liked the addition of the chat room. I empathized with the main character not being believed by even her friends and family. And it was really frustrating how the police and therapist treated her. Even though it was fast paced, at times, I found it to be a bit tedious. I still really liked the story overall. I also didn't realize that this was book 2 in a series.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

this book is aimed at young adults, it has certain adult themes about kidnapping and not being believed...could hit a few triggers with people with mental health issues...

its ok though but i wanted a bit more...

#thelastsecretyoulleverkeep #lauriefariastolarz #netgalley is a #yabooks it was a fascinating read of a young girl who (maybe) has been taken. The problem? No one believes her. It’s a story you will get caught up in and escape the ho hum that is your life. It’s definitely a wild ride. This book is for sale the 16th of March and I highly recommend it. #twistyturns #mystery #kidnapped #netgalleyreviewer #bookstagram #readersofinstagram

Kidnapped from her home, Terra was kept in a well for four days before she managed to escape. But no one believes her. After six months, Terra is starting to get back to her normal routine with the support of her friends from the trauma survivor's chat room. Then, one of her friends, whose abduction story is eerily similar to hers, goes missing. Terra fears what has happened to her friend and wonders if she will be next.

I couldn't wait to read this book as soon as I saw the description -- an unsolved abduction with an unreliable narrator, count me in! In many regards, <i>The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep</i> didn't disappoint. I was engaged in this twisted story. Wondering if the abduction happened, or was it all a figment of Terra's imagination? I was feeling the gamut of emotions. My heart was heavy for Terra since none of her friends and family or her therapist believed her. And, I was empathizing with her as she dealt with the aftereffects of the trauma. Like Terra, I was confused and uncertain about what was happening since we only know her perspective of events. I was all in, enjoying this twisted, "what am I reading?" thriller!

Then, the climax happened -- the point where we find out if this happened or not. I was on the edge of my seat as it unfolded. I won't give any details, so I don't spoil the ending for others. However, this ending was disappointing for me. There were so many possibilities for the conclusion, and the author chose an obscure, unsubstantiated one. There's so much to like about this book (unreliable narrator, effective use of the dual timelines, and realistic fiction that is scary because the events could happen), but the finish just left me unsatisfied. With a different final twist (or even a predictable ending), I would have easily rated this a solid four stars.

Overall, <i>The Last Secret You'll Ever Keep</i> is an intriguing, page-turning thriller. Putting my feelings about the ending aside, it is an interesting and unique story worth reading.

Thank you to NetGalley, Wednesday Books, and St. Martin's Press for a copy of this book to read and enjoy. This voluntary review contains my honest and unbiased opinion.

The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep by Laurie Faria Stolarz is a young adult mystery suspense set in the same universe as her last novel Jane Anonymous. Like the previous book this one deals with kidnapping and the fallout after the victim returns to their normal routine.

Terra is a survivor of a devastating house fire that killed her parents and is now living with her aunt. She struggles in school and only has two friends. Her parents taught her early on how to defend herself but despite that she is kidnapped after a college party and left in a abandoned well for four days without food and water. After she frees herself she finds her story under a microscope and no one seems to believe her. She takes it on herself to solve the mystery of her own disappearance and find the hole she was kept in along with the picture book that kept her company. To find solace and companionship she logs on to Jane Anonymous, a victim support chat site and befriends Peyton who has a similar story. But when Peyton stops logging on to the site Terra takes it on herself to investigate her disappearance.

I enjoyed this one slightly better than Jane Anonymous although I had some of the same issues with the characters. As a reader I was frustrated with Terra’s naiveté. Her choices with her own safety (when the story set her up to be particularly savvy in that area) and how trusting she was even after her kidnapping was maddening. The weakest part of the story was probably the chat room dialogue. The excessive talk about “triggers” and illusion of connection between these people was corny and annoying to read. I found them all whiny and irritating and it was hard to believe Terra would go out of her way to talk to any of them. The highlight of the entire book is the last quarter where Terra really digs in and gets to the bottom of both her own and Peyton’s mystery.

Overall The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep is a fast paced and enjoyable read. Readers will definitely want to figure out what really happened to Terra and clear her name. Personally, I would have preferred that Terra was sassier and less of a drag. I struggled to relate to her because she was never particularly witty or wise and although that is understandable with her past it doesn’t exactly make it a juicy read considering I the other YA books in this category. But the final 25% will keep readers on the edge of their seat.

3.5 stars

My copy of The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep was provided by NetGalley and the publisher for review purposes

This one was a miss for me. I was really into Jane Anonymous so I was hoping for the same kind of rush. Unfortunately, the unreliable narrator trope was just a bit too over the top for me. Terra couldn't remember simple acts of walking from one room to another so it kind of threw the book completely into chaos. I liked the idea of having unreliable narrator as a form of PTSD for what she had been through, but I just need the stories I read to have a bit more structure. I don't want to question every little thing. It's just not what I consider fun.

This story started off well for me. I liked the back and forth between then and now and I liked the chat room aspect of people who had been through similar things. I also liked the tie-in of "Jane Anonymous" becoming a site for survivors. However, the more the story continued, the more confused I became. I think that was the point, but it was more of a "I don't understand what's going on or why any of this matters" confusion instead of a "I don't know who to believe! This is so exciting!" confusion.

And then there was the nosedive. The climax, the bad guy, the outcome.... what. What just happened. Why. How does any of this make sense. Clearly, anything I say here will be a spoiler so I'll keep quiet, but let's just say I was NOT a fan of the turn this book took.

Disappointing. I really liked Jane Anonymous but this companion was not a good follow up.
