"It picks up right where Chain of Gold leaves us. I enjoyed this book more than the first because 1. Serial killer on the loose and 2. The intrapersonal relationships are fire. The interactions between siblings made me laugh out loud, the best friends all rizing each other, the secret pining for one another; chef's kiss. But man alive did you just want to shake some sense into every one of the kids, only to remember, oh yeah they are teenagers. Ends on a cliff hanger, so be prepared. 7/10."

"I couldn't put this book down! The ending completely destroyed me. I will be waiting for book 3 in the series in agony."

"Perfect sequel to Chain of Gold. I LOVE how they characterized Lucie and how each and every one of the characters grew EXPONENTIALLY! The ending crushed me, but I can’t wait for Chain of Thorns!!"

"It’s a good addition to these books! "

Maddie Hutchinson

"There was not a moment in this 656 page book that I felt bored or uninterested in a particular person’s POV. Every character in this book has managed to capture my attention, has made me wonder how they will grow, has made me invested in their future in some way. This is not to say that I absolutely adore every character (though I would say I love the majority of them), but every persons personal story and subplot means something to me. Especially Alistair’s!"

"I love how fluid the storyline is with this trilogy. I was a little disappointed with the ending in this one but not every book gets to be wrapped in a perfect ending."

Tanya Grayson Andoniadis

"You have not felt true pain if you haven’t read this book. The true title should be called Pain of Iron. (I’m kidding, but this book was absolutely heartbreaking)"

"One must always be careful of books is the bonus story"

"Just finished this book yesterday and I was super ****** that I didn’t realize it’s a trilogy (at least I hope so) the worse and best cliffhanger I’ve ever experienced. "
