'I don't know where the human and demon in me connect, whether there are roots that sprout from the demon and reach for and attach onto the human, or vice versa. Both live because the other exists. The demon survives off the blood my human body digests. And the demon, in turn, keeps my human heart very slowly pumping - at least, this is what my mum told me when I was young.' 

This book was not what I was expecting at all. 
The writing at times is so beautiful and took my breath away other times sentences just fell short or made little to no impact. 
Something was missing for me sadly and I'm gutted because from the premise it sounded right up my street.
