Um...what in the actual HECK was that ending? 
 So, I'm not even sure what to say about this book. I liked the first of this series enough to read the second, but really? This was honestly just a jumbled mess. 
 The story started off kind of slow, with Callie and Kayden being separated for several weeks while Kayden was "recuperating" after the events of book one. And I just felt like it never really developed anymore steam from there. When Callie and Kayden finally reconnected, that was it, they were together. 
 I think what bothered me most was how both of their "redemptions" were handled. They felt MUCH too quick and much too easy. I mean, these kids were seriously screwed up and seriously wronged. Yet when it came time to tell, it was almost like an afterthought, "by the way, I was raped when I was 12." 
 (view spoiler)[ And then both of the villains just run off? They BOTH get away with it? Total copout, in my opinion. Come on. (hide spoiler)] 
 But that ending, cheese and rice, I have never read such a rushed ending before. It was like the author was just like: "wow, I'm bored with this. Let's just be done: THE END." 
 Um, no. That's not fair to the readers who've been waiting a while for this conclusion. If you're going to do it, do it well, do it right. 
 I'm pretty disappointed in how this was presented. It felt like it needed several more rounds of editing and definitely needed to be read and corrected by another person. There were so many typos and the story just did not flow well. 
 Those who were waiting with bated breath for this conclusion, I'm sorry, but it just didn't satisfy what I had hoped would be redemption for Callie and Kayden.
