Wow, I don't know what I expected but this was DARK. The plot is incredibly compelling and this was a total pageturner, I had to keep reading to see what new facts would surface next! I did find Geo to be a tad naive and, frankly, dumb in the last 50 or so pages which was a bit frustrating given that it didn't feel like it fit with the rest of her character, so that dropped it down a star for me. Otherwise, a very engaging and well written thriller that's every bit as good as the hype around it. A rare feat!
