It was a compelling read. Very good writing. I didn't like it, just because I had to keep putting it down because I found it so scary. Some people like that, and so would find this book riveting. Personally, I like to finish a book and be sad that it was over, wishing I could hang out with the characters for longer. Seriously? I was relieved when this was over!
