** spoiler alert ** 
 i really like this book. its so interesting to read. i would have given the book a 5 star but i didn't understand the part when cady's dad shot her, that part was very unclear for me so i got confused. but otherwise i loved the book a lot. the mystery was perfectly intertwined with the story. the ending was so sad but at least they fixed the family. when everything was made clear i then fully understood the title which made it heart breaking. the messages sent through the story that involved society's problems were well done. the ending made everything so clear and it was so shocking to read as well. i knew something supernatural was going on from the minute mirren got sick if she left cuddledown. its so sad to know that the family was only fix at the cost of three lives
