Wow! This book was haunting. The elusive "collective" was a living breathing group that you feel throughout this book. Their pain, their stories, the twisting and turning road of this story grips you till the crash. 

The main character dying by being thrown down the stairs blew my mind!!! The woman who she thought was her friend, was the leader. "Open your eyes," is so haunting as she was always talking to the leader. 

I was torn about the end, but it made sense since the women could be anywhere. Anyone.
