Oh, it can be quite puzzling when you can't determine whether your character is bad with a reason to sympathize for or simply evil, i would like to see how the author pulled it off but i think i would find this book disturbing, intriguing, but disturbing. Thank you for this insightful review.

I looked at reviewing this book, but it sounds much more graphic and gory than what I like. This is a great review and definitely elaborates on the great storyline and writing.

Using fat from dead bodies for cosmetic purposes, this is gross. Just reading that in the review changed my moid: what more of the entire story!!!! You must be really tough to have gone through it all. Thanks for the review.

Post by Silvermoon »

Talk about a horror story! It sounds as if the anti-heroine's dilemma creates an intense and deeply intriguing plot that keeps the reader hooked until the conclusion. Although the sex and violence angle puts me off, it seems as if the author has done an excellent job of portraying her main character. Nice work on your review!

Sophia definitely sounds like a messed up character. I love horror so I think I will like this one. Thanks for your insightful review!

I like this book because of the suspense of it especially in regards to the stalking of and by the characters. I do not usually find books that feature torture and brutal murder to be interesting, but this one has definitely peaked my interest. I like that the author uses the theme of nothing is as it appears to be and keeps it constant all the way through the novel.

This book sounds incredible, though from you have said, I'm surprised that Ti lived long enough to make an impression. I expect that if this was real, Sophia would have killed her very early on.

Sometimes it can be fun to get inside the mind of a villain. It sounds like the author skillfully extracted sympathy from the reader's onto her evil character, and that can be a difficult feat to master. Sounds like a complex thriller and I look forward to reading it.

Nice review of an exciting book. Serial killers take on various disguises to mask a monstrosity and merge into mainstream life. It is in ordinary living when they are set loose to stalk innocent people, and especially when the killer happens to be a woman..
