This book is absolutely full of surprises. Just when you think you have your bearings, Baker knocks you off your feet with one revelation after another. On top of the multi-layered plot, the prose is beautiful. Its visceral and engaging. Additionally, Baker's characters are so well-crafted.

There is gruesomeness and gore in this novel, so be prepared! That being said, the book is packed with emotional discoveries and heart-pounding challenges. The different settings are painted well, mostly with dark colors that hide so many shadows ready to pop out at the reader. There's polish and shine as well as grittiness and menace. While I haven't read the author's previous novels, they've definitely bumped up my TBR list.

If there is a book two, I would be so excited. It ends mostly wrapped up and with a nugget of hope, but I want more! This is a stunning novel.
