I thought this book was going to be annoying at first, but it got interesting real quick. There was a sub-plot that bored me until it became relevant to the main story. I wish a few of the secondary characters had more development, but I thought it was good overall.

No other book has made me feel as cold and creeping a dread as this. The interludes added beautifully to that, and the ending was deeply satisfying!

 My heart was in my throat the whole time. I was on the edge of my seat. I loved this book and the way it was told. Wonderful writing. I loved the fear and horror behind it. It was gory but not gross. It was awesome. Loved it. Will definitely read her other book. I wanted a different ending but oh well.
