I won this book in a giveaway a couple of months ago. It is very well written and I enjoyed it up to Chapter 17 when the theme of cannibalism was introduced. When I read the description of this book and the blurb when I received the book there was no mention of cannibalism it just sounded like an interesting, suspenseful crime thriller. As much I loved this book until that point I can only give it 3 stars due to this theme, it's just not something I like reading or hearing about. Having said that though the imagery Ania Ahlborn brought to this chapter is terrifyingly brilliant.

The other thing that I really like about the book is that two different fonts are used in order to not confuse the reader when changing from one narrative to the other.

This book was so weird. I was hooked because I wanted to know what was happening, but it leaves it wide open in the end for your interpretation. Normally I don’t mind that, because it keeps me thinking… but honestly I just wanted some clear answers on this one. Definitely has those wtf moments!
