Picked this up without reading the blurb because I thought the cover art was cute, and ended up with a doozy. The story was very gripping, and while I could pick out what could be happening, it still found ways to surprise me. A stomach churning horror with a satisfying ending. My only gripe is the sexualizing of many of the characters, which was light at the beginning,  but pretty heavy from the middle to the end. I can see how it aids the narrative but it is just not my cup of tea.
