5.0

What a unique, creepy, horrifying experience this book was. This is certainly not your typical thriller; it is a much richer story, almost more of a character study. 
Margo/Jane and Patricia are the two main characters and both narrate the story, often narrating the same scene in their own POV. There is a tense, obsessive, and almost erotic connection between the two women. The author brings fresh twist to the ‘cat and mouse’ theme you often find in a suspense/thriller novel. Highly recommend this wild tale.
