Well-written but quite morbid. And what a bleak view of humanity...

Incredibly disturbing for her. I actually had moments were I struggled to keep reading but kudos to her for making her character believeable horrible!

"Harrowing" was one reviewer's description of this book. I completely agree. Dark and compelling.
