while the end with Emma knowing all and staying loyal was fun, something about the end felt wanting? I wanted a bloodier end somehow, with her having escaped and maybe she's coming to eat you next kinda thing. But this isn't a horror novel, so maybe the end fits but was clumsy.Spoiler
Graphic: Blood, Cannibalism, Car accident, Murder, and Rape

However, the more I read the more it kept me interested.
The descriptions of certain events are very graphic and disturbing. But that did make it a good October/Halloween read.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this, but I also wouldn’t discourage someone from reading it (unless you really can’t read graphic content).
