Review: Good story, both predictably and surprising
Rating: 4 out of 5

First the good news: this is a well-written book despite being formulaic and a bit predictable. The main characters are likeable and grow during the book's progression, which is something I like to see.Now the bad news: there is more violence, especially sick/twisted violence, than I usually care for. I almost stopped reading several times due to the villain and some of the things he does. The author compensates a bit for this by preaching the cost of gratuitous violence in movies and media - despite her book actually fitting the description.Overall, it is a good book, but the violence was definitely off-putting.
