oh this was so good. this was so good! just the right side of scary without being over-the-top, the storylines integrated (near) seamlessly... I'm kind of in awe. not that it was perfect, because it wasn't, but that's a damn good book. 
(and once again we have a book that taps into one of my very specific fears/fascinations: two-headed snakes!)
