The first time I sat down to read this, I only read the first chapter and stopped reading for two months. But I just picked this up yesterday, and was very quickly hooked. 
After having read quite a few of Freida’s books, I have to say that this one is one of the darker, and more graphic ones I’ve read. 
I thought I had the twist at the end, but I was so wrong. McFadden did an amazing job once again!
