A wonderful book. At times I felt myself struggling to stay engaged. But I really enjoyed the ending. It had enough horror elements to be considered a horror book. But it was more scary/creepy I felt. And I was really happy that gender had nothing to do with the horror elements. I do hope to place this on my "to read again" pile and hopefully I'll catch more the next time.
