Scary
I LOVE the seriesn!!!!!
It is really tragic and scary I almost cried.
I love how he saves people that are stuck in a fire.
Just amazing!! This author is sooooooooooo good at writing books.
I love this series! I am always excited when a new one comes out. This book focuses on The Chicago Fire which was a disaster I did not know a lot about.
Just like other i survived books, the event was real but the character was from Lauren's imagination. I don't necessarily love history yet I love the series weird how that works, isn't it?
