After having read a few top spoiler free reviews I picked this one up. I am just getting back into reading. I am also exploring other genres having been a romance reader exclusively for most of my life. 

It was easy-to-read, sad with a pinch of darkness. This was much tamer than I expected based on other readers thoughts. If your tastes are similar to mine and you crave dark, twisted and demented this will not satisfy. 

This may have not had the creep factor I was hoping for, it was a decent read. If you are looking for a book on the darker side that will not give you nightmares this would be a great go too.
