REVIEW:
Wow, what a hard book for me to review. I love this. Like really, really love this. For me this is a book that hits all of the murder/mystery high points and then some. This book goes above and beyond that. It goes into some major darkness in the human world. It would be any girls worst nightmare. I would give this 5 stars but, I have to be honest and say that this is not for everyone. In this genre, this is a 5 star read and then some. I think some of the very graphic details might turn some away. For me it just drags me in more. I think this is just amazing for a debut novel. Florentin creates a world that I love to hate here. Rachel is amazing. It is hard to imagine a character so strong and put together is 18. I was blown away by her character and the journey she takes in this book. I have never read a character quite like her and I love her. This plot is so jam packed with gruesome darkness that I hope no one would ever have to endure. I was on the edge of my seat the whole ride. You will be too. This is not a book you will want to put down, so be prepared when you pick it up. A page turner if there ever was one. I think crime and mystery lovers everywhere will be pulled in and took on the ride of their lives in this book. AMAZING!!!
