I both love and hate first impressions. You get just enough to read to draw you in...the the snippet ends and the world you're getting into is snatched away. If I could say one thing, it's that this story is not for the faint of heart. The description gives you that much...but the first look section is even more proof that you need a sound mind to read this book. Two thumbs up...but I can only give 4 stars until I've read the whole book.
