I was recommended this by a friend who was into biology, and I can definitely say it was a worthy recommendation! I read it all in a handful of sittings over the course of twenty-four hours and this was because I could not put it down. Each revelation is followed by something even more tense and terrifying, and the ending leaves so much unanswered...leading nicely into a second and third book. An amazing read, all in all!

One of the characters uses hypnosis on the others, including a (ineffectual) command to kill themselves.gotnoculture's review

There isn't really a strong plot, but the book still manages to build up an incredible tension.
The author definitely knows how to create an atmosphere and his description of certain things created very vivid images in my mind
The ending is a bit too open for my taste, but maybe the sequels will at least answer some of the myriad of questions that I have right now

I also felt like I couldn't relate easily to the narrator, though, I didn't dislike her.
I am intrigued enough that I might read the next book.
