Holy shit! This book just tore my heart out of my chest, threw it in a blender and dumped it in the well! This one started off slow and I wasn't sure I liked it but the last 100 pages are absolutely killer!
Nothing is exactly what you see and no one is getting away with their secrets. If you want a book that ends with you audibly gasping- this is the one! I flipped the last page at least 10 times before accepting my fate.

<strong>Slow beginning, but what a wild ending!</strong>
It took a bit for me to get into this book. The beginning was rather slow, and didn't really capture my attention. A little more than halfway through it really picked up and quickly gathered speed.
One of the more rare things for me to find in a book is that feeling of really having no clue where the book is heading, and what's really happening. It's something I really love and I'm glad to say this book definitely had it. Even up to the final pages, the twists and turns kept me going. I sat in shock for a couple of minutes after finishing, just absorbing everything that had happened.
