I thought this was going one way, which had me concerned, but then it went a different way and I was pleasantly (and horrifyingly) surprised. I thought the plot was well done and very suspenseful.

VERY slow. Nothing picks up until the last 4 or 5 chapters of the book, where the ending is rushed. The ending, though resolved in it's own way, was disappointing.

People who enjoy thrillers will probably like this book. I found many of the characters' actions and the final twist unbelievable, but that's not unusual for me in this genre.

The writing is good and I liked the slow unfolding of the events of the night Quincy became a Final Girl.
