I loved watching Laure decend into a more wicked person with each chapter as the world around her continued to belittle and cast her aside, however I can't give this 5 stars as I wish the climax of the book was more gritty. I hated how weak Laure was in the climax, I wanted her to fully become the beast, but I guess I understand why she couldn't considering who she was facing off against. I will definitely be on the look out for any other work by this author!
