This is why I read horror! I was ordering a physical copy before I even finished because I loved this and she deserves to go on my female killer shelf. It was extremely gripping, I felt so much for Philo, and Katie is one of the most memorable villains I've read in a while. There is a major trigger for animal cruelty, it happens within the first few pages so its a very shocking start. Wish I could say that was the only time, but nope. So just be warned! This is my second McDowell book (after The Elementals) and I really wish I had started with this one.
