This book was definitely interesting! Quincy seems at first to be a flat and uninteresting traumatized woman, but eventually evolves into something much more. The inner turmoil she displays at not only her current actions and choices but reflections of her past as well develop her into a multi dimensional character worth reading to the end for. Speaking of which, the ending was both as expected and sooo very unexpected! The last third of the book had me on the edge of my seat! My qualms with this book lie with the stereotypical and expected things. Like the boyfriend and other final girls. Even the twist was somewhat expected. I just wasn't as surprised as I like to be with these books.
