dark sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

It's hard to be disappointed with a Marrs novel, but when I say I was MAD and a little terrified by the end of this.. lol

I started the marriage act after getting about 50 pages into the Family Experiment and I'm really glad I did. Talk about infuriating though.
