From the synopsis alone I knew this book would be right up my alley. What I was not expecting was that it was going to be one of my favorite reads of the year.
It is important to note that this book does go in to some pretty heavy themes that include violent injuries, violence against women, murder, etc. It is also very quite gruesome at times. The book is vivid and has a lot of body horror to it. I quite enjoyed this, but I could see that it might be a bit much for some readers.
I, like some other reviews I have seen, found the first couple of chapters to be a bit slow. I was not bothered by it because I felt like it was setting up the book well, and the book picked up fairly quickly once the main characters met up.
I loved the main characters in this book, they were all very distinct and well written. They were by no means perfect but they are the kind of characters you can really sympathize with and route for.
While I was able to guess some of the plot twists, it by no means diminished my enjoyment of the book. It was one of the only books this year that had me on the edge of my seat.
