This book was everything I wanted it to be, and I knew it would be from the first sentence (I'll know it's working when he starts to scream--that's the first line!). I am also a sucker for a book with short chapters, and this one has that going for it. I think the twists are likely predictable for those who read more thrillers than I do, but they nevertheless pay off. If you want lady rage, this is your book. It's a lot of fun, and great for spooky season!
