This book, this book, this book!
It pulled me in and held me captive until the very end. It is so dark and twisted and yet also romantic and hopeful. It was way more violent and gorey than I expected but it suited the story. The lives of the characters were woven together, overlapping each other in such a way that was so satisfying to me.
