 This book made me wildly uncomfortable and caused me to have trouble falling asleep over the course of the two days I spent reading it, and I loved every second of it. The setting was phenomenal, and I love this author's ability to snap from mundane, everyday conversations to terrifying scenes of horror in the blink of an eye. I also appreciate that she doesn't rely on gore and splatter in an effort to be "scary." There is definitely a little of that, but the story itself got under my skin in a way that doesn't happen very often and I won't be forgetting this one any time soon.
