This was twisted and weird and confusing...and I kind of loved it?

I've never read anything by this author before, so I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this book for my December Book of the Month. I'm happy to say that I was completely engrossed in the story. I read it in one sitting.

It's difficult to go into detail about this book without spoilers, but I will say that it kept me guessing the entire time, questioning what the truth was and who I could trust. It went back and forth so many times I truly had no clue how it was going to end. After reading so many mystery/thrillers with ridiculously predictable 'twists' I was pleasantly surprised that I couldn't get a handle on where this story was going to end up.

I also like that it takes place in the PNW, as that's where I'm from. It's always interesting to read about areas that you are familiar with and see if the author gets them right. I feel like the author did a nice job establishing the PNW as her setting. The fact that she lives in the Seattle area no doubt helped with that.

And that last page? Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow.

I'll definitely picked up more of this author's work in the future.
