4.5 stars! Only because i give 5 stars to books I loved that also have near limitless reread potential. Gotta love Loreth Anne White, who's simply a master spider, spinning these intricate webs and luring you in like a prey, holding on a bit tighter with each page. Worth losing hours of sleep to get through this book.

Overall enjoyed this book, but it was a slightly

anti climactic ending and I almost wish it had more oomph, even though I looooved the karmic ending

. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys semi-thriller books
