This is a darker book than my "normal" genre, but I read just about everything but horror.  So, let's just get the con's out of the way now since "dark" is usually a con for me:  each chapter goes back and forth from past/present and 2 different character point of views.  I'm mentioning this as a "con" because generally I find that method frustrating.  Having said that - it works with this book.  And even though this is a bit darker than I usually like to read, it never goes over the top, in my opinion.  Like I said - I don't read horror, and this never broaches that for me.Pros:  As my title states - I found this absolutely riveting.  The characters (all but one...) drew me in and made me long to find out what would unfold.  While there were no earth-shattering revelations, everything was wrapped up in a manner that felt right.  The descriptions were vivid - and while they weren't always pleasant, they felt very real.  I don't remember the last time I read something that kept me reading through most of the night as this one did; it was a very hard book to put down.
