I received this book as a prize in a giveaway. I am not a huge fan of horror, and though this novel is listed as a thriller, the level of violence and sexual sadism elements made this a tough read for me. I can handle blood and gore, but I wasn't expecting to read a book about such depraved people. This being said- Excellent plot (almost lost me a few times, as there is so many layers), and really good characters. I was caught up in the plot, cringing at the cruelty, yet reading more because I was interested in what happened to the characters. Ending felt a bit rushed in the wrap up epilogue, probably because it contrasted with the heavy detail in the writing. A good read, but be warned- there are elements of rape, child abuse (for lack of another description that may be a spoiler), torture, and lots of death/murder. Read this when you're in the mood for an intense, intricate read.
