Going to need to think on this one, but what an amazing ride that was! I was intrigued from the very start and read the last half of the book in a single sitting. I don't want to discuss the plot at all because this is one where going in blind is definitely the way to do it, but just know that it's been a LONG time since a book has gripped me like this!
