What a crazy story! I was absolutely not expecting the journey this book took me on, though that was probably helped by not reading the blurb. Even after the opening where Erin is digging a grave, I still managed to not quite believe what was happening as everything went a little crazy. But I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I would say that the twist didn't come as an enormous surprise, but the circumstances surrounding it were really well thought out and I was completely hooked from about halfway through the book. Great writing and a really punchy, if hard to believe, story that was a lot of dramatic fun.
