I wanted more out of this book and more about Louise specifically. All of the characters felt pretty thinly drawn, but I could excuse that because it was all from Louise's perspective and she's a sociopath. But there were so many things brought up about Louise in the privacy of her own head that sounded interesting, sometimes way more interesting than what was happening in the back half of the story.

It was fine. I didn't find it particularly riveting or engaging, but it's not too bad.
