 Wow, that was a ride. I'm not totally sure what to rate it, because I was expecting a little more mystery behind it, and I felt like there wasn't really any. This had a lot of ick factors, and a couple characters I wanted to reach through the pages and slap. Overall this was really good. It was my second book by this author (first was BFF Exorcism) and I will continue to read more of his work.
