Regan is a starving artist with a lousy part time job, who’s about to miss her third month of rent. Just when you’re sure she’s already hit rock bottom, after a one night stand with a mysterious man, she snags $1200 from his wallet and ditched him. 

When her mystery man returns, he makes her an offer for her hand. The literal body part, not her figurative hand.

Of course once things start going her way, she just starts throwing her very finite money away. 
But worse she experiences strong horrific phantom pains.

Just when I thought I knew where this story was going, it turn yet another turn for the weirder. 

Pacing was a bit slow in the middle but overall fun read.
