I picked this up randomly at the library, being in the mood for something suspenseful and frivolous. It was well written, but a little genre-less. Unclear whether it was horror or fantasy or thriller or what. Entertaining enough, but read kind of like a movie script in its lack of characterization or other novel-like qualities.

This book gave me chills. I will never say, "I'd give anything if....." You have to be careful what you wish for. You have to be careful what you trade your soul for....this book centers around the lives of three girls, the choices they make and the consequences of those choices. This book is graphic, creepy and chilling and I would read it again.

DNF. Awful characters. Read half and still no idea what the book is about

Hmm...this was one of my 2013 "to-read" books. I know, I am still 5 years behind, but I am trying. However, I must ask myself, "self, what were you thinking?". I wonder what made me want to read this book. So far, it's just strange. A weird mix of genres, I'm not sure what the ultimate goal of the story really is. Of course, I will see this through, but I am not exactly loving it.
Nope. No good for me. A mash-up of genres and none of it worked very well.

I forced myself to make it through 5 discs of the audio book before giving up. What a depressing book. Not one character had any redeeming qualities so I just didn't like any one enough to worry about all the horrible things happening to them. Sometimes when I don't like an audio book, I go get the printed version at the library to scan through and learn the ending but I didn't see any reason to depress myself any more than I already had.

I generally don't read horror novels, and I was reminded why with this book. Perhaps its unfair for me to rate it poorly in that I was disturbed by it, but I guess it's fair warning to those looking to read it.
There's a central figure who's the embodiment of evil, and all sorts of terrible things happen
repeatedly.
and I finished it feeling like I didn't gain anything. I did find the "end" of the main characters to be interesting and for me, unexpected. All in all, though, I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend.

I've never read a book where I hated every single character, until now. The main characters would best be described as ruthless, a pushover and pathetic. With that being said, I was intrigued enough to keep reading it to the end and they deserved their fate. I sided with evil.
