This book left me thinking about it for days and a date to pickup the sequel the day after finishing it.
I read Addie LaRue first, and while I enjoyed it, it did not sweep me off my feet they way it seemed to for so many other readings. I was intrigued by her other, seemingly darker, books but was left with little to no drive to seek out her other stories. But oh man, did this book change that for me. The story was dark and unique and so easy to get through. There was intrigue from the very first line, all building up to a stunningly impactful climax, and an ending that promises a sequel that is not to be missed.
