Great book!

This was a good book it had a great twist. I really hated the stepsister to begin with but at the end you understood her better, and I didn't hate her as much. I really want to read Sweet Miss. Honeywells revenge and see how Kathryn Reiss changed the three Ghost in the Dollhouse books into one book.
