 First line: "Undressing is an everyday occurrence." 
 This is a book very much different from what I normally read. I read historical romance, mysteries, and thrillers, but I don't think I've ever read anything that added an erotic element. I'm not uncomfortable reading about sex so I picked it up as my next read. 
 It's very obvious Torre did a hell of a lot of research in order to write Deanna Madden's character. I was very impressed on that front. The first half of the book was surprisingly slow, a bit bogged down with the amount of backstory and insight into Deanna's camming life, but the second half's paced picked up a lot more. 
 The story was very entertaining but wasn't as thrilling or as dark as I expected it to be, with the ending wrapping up a little too neatly. I expect the sequels to look even further into Deanna's homicidal tendencies and I'm interested in seeing what will happen after the final events of this book.
