As a teen the saga is intense and intriguing. The concept of love interest is drawing and motivation to read and finding out what will happen next and so on.

“the” Book Of Guilt
by Catherine Chidgey

I received an ARC for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey is an absolutely heartbreaking story about a group of children raised on the outskirts of the English Countryside where they are raised by three women. One woman records their dreams and gives them medicine. One woman teaches them, and one woman keeps an eye on them as they sleep. All the women mark down the children's misdeeds in what is known as The Book of Guilt. The children are told that if they follow all the rules and listen, they'll be sent to an amazing place where all of their dreams will come true. All of this seems innocent enough, however, as the story continues, several red flags appear. The way the author brings out the characteristics and mannerisms of each child makes the revelations even more devastating. The manner in which these poor individuals were treated by the townspeople was outright disgusting, even after several years had gone by when the grave injustice was somewhat rectified. Sadly, I was able to envision everything that had happened because it was very close to other horrific events in history. Even now, some human beings are considered lesser due to their backgrounds; and while that isn't exactly the same as what happened here, it is still quite abominable to know that if this were happened today, there would be staunch supporters of it because they would view it as something necessary because they don't believe that everyone is equal. As heart-wrenching as the plot was, The Book of Guilt was well-written as well as enlightening about how certain things in history were able to occur without too much public knowledge. Thank you to Net Galley and the author for the ARC.

I haven't read the BSC books in such a long time but I loved this one! Stacy is my favorite character so I had to read it and it did not disappoint. I have always loved this series and I enjoyed the new characters that were involved as well. The book was such a quick yet fun read.

I wanted to love this book but just couldn't. I was pretty underwhelnmed by everything. Lyla was an annoying main character that I didn't want to root for.

Once gain the storyline climaxes and builds on from the previous books in the series. Without giving to much I would like to say that it keeps you surprised and amazed at the contents of its creative descriptive writing. I can imagine the story come to life.
