I'm not even sure what I just read.This book seriously struggles to define itself.  The author is so wrapped up in trying to be as disturbing as possible, that she forgets about just writing a good story.  There are no redeeming qualities to any of the characters. There's no one to cheer for.  Every single character in this story (with the exception of one, that we only get about 10 pages of) is without the capacity to love or be loved.  There is no humanness to this book.I'm even struggling to come up with a good enough review for the mess that is this book.  My favorite genre of fiction is "horror/mystery/fantasy" (think Stephen King) - so I'm not new to reading about people killing other people.  Or even people torturing other people.  But this....this was an entirely different level.  We are expected to believe that a psychiatric hospital that is used to treat patients that are sent over from the state, is never checked up on?  No one ever cares to check on a single patient...ever?I read this whole book shaking my head and rolling my eyes.  The ONLY reason I read it all is because I did want to know what thin excuse the author would use to pull it all together.  And it was.  Thin, I mean. Paper thin.And don't even get me started on the editing.  Oy.  This is the most poorly edited book I've read to date.  And I've read a lot of books.Don't bother with this book, unless you LITERALLY have nothing else to read.
