It's really dark, tense and uncomfortable to read but it's still so very readable. All of the gore and violence is integral to the plot and I think that is why this book works. I saw a lot of the twists coming (but I do read a lot of this genre so that could be why) but the writing and the pacing kept me engaged throughout.
Geo is a great character - her journey is interesting and she is a complete character that is well developed and intriguing.
Overall, this is a dark, smart and well written book. Jennifer Hillier is flying into my already overflowing TBR after this read. I can't wait to read more from her because this was so impressive!
