This book was a rollercoaster. Had I not been listening to this book, I think I might have had to park it for another time. 

The book has some redeeming qualities, and after looking up the meaning of the ending and seeing a response from the author herself, I like it a bit more. However, a good book shouldn’t require that kind of search in my opinion. 

This was more of a gothic macabre than true horror, but I did get pretty scared during some parts. It is extremely gruesome in sections and downright nasty, but it does add a bit to the story/characters themselves
