I FLEW through this book in about a day and I honestly still can’t believe that. The people next in line for this Livby hold will probably appreciate that. Clearly I couldn’t put this down. Now I’m going to go and probably have nightmares but it was worth it!

Dark and disturbing fantasy that grossed me out. Interesting setting, plot and characters but a little slow at times.
