I remembered reading this and loving it... but what I didn't remember was all the profanity and illicit scenes. Usually I abandon books with this kind of content very quickly, but I remembered loving this one and wanted to remember why. I still think it's an absolutely fantastic story --- the perfect modern gothic and super atmospheric. Two stars off for excessive language and profuse sexual content. Otherwise, superb.
Moderate: Sexual content
Explicit sex, excessive language
