"And he did not flinch, Fred. He could take it. He picked up my hand, and held it between his warm hands. And sat there with me, holding my hand and my hurt. I could feel the sympathy transfusing, and I was thirsty for it. I hadn't realized how much I needed to let someone in." — 15 de Abr 01:33

I liked this, but unfortunately didn't love it. Have I just read too many gruesome serial killer books to be that impressed by this? Maybe so. Review to come. |

Oh, boy. I can't remember the last time I read a book this insanely convoluted. And really, it's already far too long at 400 pages! Why must EVERYTHING be a series? Grumpy review to come. |

4.5 stars WHAT DID I JUST READ? This book is confusing and frustrating, and I am still not sure I understand everything that happened. But it is also startlingly original, beautifully written, and deliciously dark and savage at the same time. Holy he...more |

“You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding — of course Will would understand.”
