When I first started the book I thought it was funny, intriguing. Then it turned cold - still well written - by being a child abduction storyline? WTH didn't see that coming at all.

If you have an advanced, mature reader however, this should be fine. There is some brief violence but it's no worse than what you'd find on a mild episode of Law & Order. I don't recall any swearing and there is no gore; just some coming of age ideas (like that some children die young, marriages sometimes fall apart, and not all adults are good people). I hope that helps. (: (less)
