Vein Fire by Lucia Adams

I have so much to say about this book, I'm not sure where to start. I guess the first thing I want to say is: Whoever shelved this book as "Young Adult" was a fucking idiot and never to be trusted for any reason. This book is not for anyone under the age of 18. Hell, maybe under the age of 21. Seriously.
Reading this, right from the get go, you think damn...how much worse can it get for this poor girl? But it gets worse. It always gets worse. Every chapter. Hannah is sick, and in a lot of ways she's just as twisted as Matt and Jared are. And together, in any combination of the three, things just constantly go from "oh my god" to "holy........shit...." at the speed of light.
There are no likable characters in this story. There are no heroes. No one comes to rescue Hannah. But the twisted part is that for a little while, this book works its way so far into your head, that you start thinking, like Hannah, that hey...maybe it's not so bad. And then you take a step back or turn the page and realize nope, it is 100% exactly that bad.
If you're looking for a mind fuck that you can't put down until it's over, here it is. If you're looking for a happy ending... Go somewhere else.
EDIT: I wanted to add this because it really bugged me when I read the book. This has either never seen an editor or was seen by the WORST EDITOR IN THE HISTORY OF TIME. It is FULL of typos and errors, one on almost every single page.
