Started out interesting and went in directions I did not expect. The ending was proper gruesome and horrifying. The main character could be described as flawed and horrifying herself, but I really enjoyed a female protagonist that was more like a villain than a hero. Some of her choices didn’t quite make sense, the impulsiveness not entirely earned, but I will still eagerly read the sequel to this. I enjoyed the complicated friendship between the two leads, the burgeoning LGBT romance, and I hope Ale falls in love and gets a happy ending.

I enjoyed this book, while also finding it very difficult to continue. It was a conundrum. The MC, without giving any spoilers, is unlikeable-- however that's on purpose I came to realize. I felt like the ending went off the deep end a bit, however I am definitely going to read the next one because I need answers.

The entire book is central to blood. Just as a heads up, if that isn't your thing. It gets very graphic into Act 3.
