Dark. Twisty. Unreliable narrator. At times the story gets sluggish but overall it’s fast paced. 
The very last chapter, and the last few lines in particular, sends chill to my spine and I like how it left open with unfinished business. This part definitely bumps up the overall rating of the entire book.
