Review Detail

This book ripped my heart out in that-this is an amazing second book-kind of way. (Here's hoping the final book stitches it back together again.)

Marie's writing is stunningly beautiful and this story she's created; the characters, the world-building, the plot, is nothing short of perfection. PERFECTION!

It was a challenge not to devour THE WINNERS CRIME in one sitting, but I was afraid I might miss something if I did. The plot twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat with my tattered heart in my throat. I savored as much of it as possible until I could no longer resist the urge to finish it. When I did, I was sitting on my bathroom floor at 12:30a.m. hoping my crying wouldn't wake my family up.

It's rare, for me, to love a "second book" even more than the first, but THE WINNER'S CRIME accomplished that. And the line for Arin still starts behind me, but it's okay because there are cupcakes. :D

If you haven't started this series yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
