Betrayal, dissection, and black markets. If you are looking for something dark, twisted, and bloody I highly recommend this.
After reading books like Stalking Jack the Ripper, The Madman's Daughter, and Six of Crows I was struggling to find something with that delightfully dark flavor. Then I stumbled on this at the library.
It's honestly very interesting and pleasant to me to find YA books that aren't afraid of pushing the envelope. Too often books seem to be afraid of showing the horrors of certain things, this is not one of those books. I was very delighted to see that this was just as dark as it hinted it would be.
I cannot wait to add this and its sequel to my own shelves.
