I don't know if there's another book after this with the same characters - I will look that up after this review, but even if there isn't, I feel like the ending was realistic. I couldn't imagine how hard it must be for these kids to heal and gain a sense of self respect or confidence after everything they've been through, so it felt right that Ellen ended their story in the midst of their healing process. I'm aware that not everyone survives what they did and, if they survive physically, too many don't come back in the emotional and mental sense. Though each character did survive their ordeal (main characters, anyway), and that's not always the case, it was eye opening to see just how deeply affected they were by their experiences and how hard it was for them to recover. Traffick, like it's prequel, was all too real and all too heart breaking.
