This book was more than I expected! If I hadn't known before reading it that this was her first published book, I would never have guessed it! If you're not a fan of dark books, read the warnings first, because this book does get pretty dark in places. Personally, I love a good, dark book, and once I started this one, I did not want to put it down! 
 My biggest regret now is that I've finished it, and she doesn't have any other books out yet to read! LOL
