I'd give this book twenty stars if Goodreads could let me. 
 I have not been enthralled or captivated by a book in a very long time 
 & I'd like to thank Michelle Harrision for writing this book. 
 I love that Michelle didn't hold back on gruesome moments, or decrease the amounts of blood just because this is a middle-grade novel. Children are exposed to worse everyday, why shield them from realistic events? Michelle has also inspired me, as an author not to hold back on things that may be too YA or Adult for middle-grade readers. THANK YOU MICHELLE!! I cannot wait to devour the rest of the trilogy & join Tanya on her next fantastic adventure.
