Decent book, the ending definitely threw me for a loop. A lot of the conversations just threw me off as not being natural or realistic. It overall had a cluttered and jumbled together feel to it though.

Ansley is in rehab after a rough breakup and attacking her former boss. As she is doing better with her meds, she is granted a leave to attend her sister's wedding.
The wedding and reception take place in a an old isolated resort and Ansley isn't exactly enjoying the moment as the family of the groom is obnoxious and wants to decide everything. Still, everything is going as planned until the reception.
Out of nowhere, the nightmare begins. A cannibalistic feast led by the groom's family ensues. Flesh tearing, screams and cries echo everywhere as Ansley tries to flee the general panic and save herself in order to avoid becoming the next meal.
It was a very fun quick read and the end is really wild, I did not expect that at all. If you don't mind gross cannibalistic scenes, then I'd recommend this book if you're looking for something a little bit horrifying and a little bit amusing.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
This book had such a slow start. I almost dnf'ed it. The ending was so great, I'm glad that I did finish it. If the ending hadn't been so great I would have rated it even lower.
This book had such a slow start. I don't mind first person POV, but I did not like the main character. Someone told me this book was great. So I pushed through, not enjoying being stuck in the head of a character I didn't care for.
It was page after page after page of build up. Then the gore started about halfway in. Which was fun. SPOILERS... But a clan of cannibals attacking the newly married in family at a wedding reception was very far fetched. It was not rational at all.
Then BAM! This book had such an awesome ending that everything made sense and was then logical. The ending saved this story. I just wish it hadn't taken so long to get to the good parts.
