i was a little confused about the ending, still am: but the meat of the book was very good. extremely gory, hard to read at times (although you dont want to put it down), and i felt it came to be a little too caricature-y about annie. she became a sort of supervillain, took me out of the immersive reading experience. i wish she would've stayed just an insane woman. there were a few instances where i felt the scene / situation could've been tweaked to add more suspense + better pacing, but overall very well written and kept my attention.
