An incredibly dark story about abuse but honestly, an incredibly fun read. The subject matter itself is dark but the book is a thrill ride from start to finish.

WOW. I have been in a reading slump for a while and this book drop-kicked me right out of it. What a layered story, what an awesome protagonist, what a fun (if dark) plot. Great stuff all the way around.

I bought this book a while ago and even though not that much time has passed i’ve definitely changed as a person. past me probably would have rated this book higher, it definitely was enjoyable but not really my cup of tea anymore.
