 This was an incredibly strong debut for Jessica Johns, and I think she'll be on the literary scene for a long time to come. This story was well-developed and interesting and honestly creepy at times. Johns created a mysterious atmosphere without forcing it and it really paid off. All of the characters felt like real people, with just enough development that I cared about them, without it being an info overload.

My only real qualm was that at times the pacing felt off and things seemed a bit repetitive. However, the rest of the book more than made up for these minor shortfalls. I'm so glad to have come across Johns and I'm already looking forward to more from her.
