As far as characters, I hated them all (except Alice). Even Michael. Yes I felt bad for him at times but then at other times he gave me the creeps just as much as Reb and Momma.
The last thing I have to say is I wonder how someone can actually think of these things and write about it ?! I know it’s fiction. I know it’s her career, but I have to be honest, if Ania Ahlborn was my family or friend, I think I’d be really afraid of her.

This book was fast-paced, despite its dark and gory contents. I couldn't see the major twist coming, so that's also good. I also liked that the story didn't have a cookie-cutter ending. This is the type of book that leaves you on the edge of your seat. While I wouldn't say the story was necessarily scary it is anxiety-inducing enough to be compared to a blockbuster horror movie.
For obvious reasons I don't think I would want to re-read this, but I definitely want to read more from this author.
