I found this a good book but to be honest, it's the kind of book you have to be in the mood for. It's got very dark themes, intense bullying, narcissistic behavior that is so over the top you wonder why anyone would allow or even applaud such behavior.  Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a good read, but you have to be in the mood for this type of book. I plan to read the rest of the series eventually and definitely recommend it if you enjoy dark themes.

Very dark. Do not take this book lightly. While some scenes may be fun, the overall themes are very dark and may be disturbing to some.
