4 Stars

This story was a great psychological thriller. At times you wonder, "what is going on? why isn't this moving along? where is the neat tidy bow?" *wags finger*... not so fast. This story is poisonous and filthy, and is circling the drain. By the time you get to the last book; all out of breath and tense; does it all make sense. You have been mislead, my friend. I had no clue who the killer was. Had no idea who to trust and could think of no reason I felt so tired.

This book has a long, slow, and almost tedious build-up....but it works. In the end it works. And then it ends; and not how you imagined. I feel completely drained.

Great review, Alondra!"


yes, you should. it is such a build up in the story and when you finally get to the good stuff... you are totally worn out emotionally.
