Great narrator.  The book definitely has a gothic horror feel.   It was pretty standard cult stuff, so a lot of that was predictable.   I wasn't super surprised by what happened or the resolution.  

Would have been 5 stars, but there were just some things with Jamie that upset me. They never mentioned what happened to William.   How is he an uncle when he was an only child?  Jamie could have just said he went looking for Sara instead of bringing beef. I can't believe he could just say he should have loved Sara all along. Come on. 

I really felt for Jamie, Able, Sara, and Dinah. A lot of felt bad for Eve, but she really seemed to enjoy harming people, and I'm not sure it's all explained by her upbringing. </ spoiler>
