4.25

I gave this book 4.25 stars.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It has a sick twisted ending, but it was definitely an ending that I did not expect.  Although the plot had me switching sides all of the time, I felt it was done brilliantly.  I cannot give it a full 5 stars because I didn't get the revenge I was seeking, but I do appreciate an ending that I didn't see coming.
