initially really liked this story, but it ended up being so depressing. It feels like the good characters—Damien, Joanna, and Silas—never get a happy ending. What a waste of money on this story. She gets kidnapped, as an infant and then her baby ends up suffering the same fate? Author, this just isn’t right.

I hate stories that end with a cliff hanger. The story ends unfinished and sad. I do not recommend this story. It leaves off with sorrow and emptiness.
