It is very hard to rate. The story needs & should be heard. But I did have trouble getting into it.

Too long. Very informative; but sometimes it was long winded & discussed things I didn't understand the correlation.

I love Carrie & I loved this version. It was so good, but also so painfully challenging to read. Very interested to read more by this author.

I've only read a few erotic horror books & this is by far the best. Much like extreme horror, I love having a few of these books on hand for when I just want a break from heavier books. This book is shocking & horrifying. I think it will stick in my head & make me feel a bit paranoid.

This book tore me out of an impending slump. So good, so exciting. I am usually very good at guessing who done it. However, this had me guessing. The MC wasn't the most likeable at first, but she really grew on me.
