3 1/2 stars.

So...my first reaction at completing this book was "WTF did I just read?". I had to go back and reread the last 10 or so pages because my mind was at such a loss. The reread didn't help all that much...I'm still so terribly conflicted and confused.

I have never read anything quite like Follow Me to Ground. This book is creepy, dark, and weird. Seriously weird. But I was REALLY liking it for a good majority of the narrative (partially because of the creepy oddball factor). The layout was equally strange and unique with writing that was both very atmospheric and at the same time limited in scope, making it feel like I had blinders on as a reader. Still...the narrative is flowing and beautiful in it's own dark way.

Follow Me to Ground is a case where the ending unwound quite a bit of enjoyment for me. The book was on track for at least a 4 star rating, if not a 4.5 until the last little bit. I enjoyed the darkness, felt substantially disturbed by the actions in the plot, and liked the writing, but the ending just left me so confused and feeling like I ended on something of a cliffhanger. Regardless...I will admit that it is sticking with me hard and I am looking forward to seeing what Rainsford has in store for her next novel, due out later this year.
