I hated this book. It was recommended to me so many times. I pretty much went into this blind.
Basically twin sisters, having lived their entire lives neglected or abused, turn 18 and are basically kidnapped to the fae realm (their true realm). The fae realm is basically Rapeland where anyone can do anything to you if you aren't strong enough to stop them and everyone else will just stand by or join in. Everyone, from student to faculty, have the maturity of pretty teenagers, seasoned liberally with cruelty, pettiness, and just generally being monsters. The twin sisters are unbelievably stupid & gullible.
I HATE this book. 400+ pages of two barely legal girls being tortured at every turn.
