This was such a good book. Wow. Over my last few reads I have forgotten what real good writing looks like, but this is so beautifully captivtingly written - no matter how horrific the action you just. can't. stop. reading. It's bloody, it's disgusting, it's wonderful and so full of love ... in some way.

I love how Brite played with the different POVs (Andrew in first, the others in third), having me rooting for Andrew at first, then for Andrew and Jay, and then suddenly - fiercly - against them. I do wish that we could have gotten a little more insight in their relationship here and there.  

I really hoped Tran would survive in the end :(
