5.0

This is Lady Macbeth's story, a seventeen year old girl who is scrambling for footing in her new husband's home, a creature desperately trying to build power to protect herself. Reid's writing is lush and visceral, tense and intricate. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and I may go back and read it again immediately.
