I had no idea what to expect going into this book but I never would've anticipated what I got. I've been enjoying going into books mostly blind and that's exactly what I did with this one. I really only read the genre, title, and briefly looked at the cover. Had I investigated the cover a bit more, I suppose I could've had a bit of an idea what I was getting myself into but I didn't. I think this was definitely more enjoyable not knowing what to expect.
This reminded me of a darker version ofThe Metamorphosis . The characters were not likable but that didn't hinder the reading experience.
