I have no idea how to rate this book. On one hand, it was haunting, unbearably suspenseful and riveting. On the other hand, it was was so horrifying that I nearly couldn't finish it.

The book's plot concerns children being raped and killed, and while not detailed, was graphic enough that the book was nearly intolerable. Just too much for me.

So, I'll leave this unrated because although well written, I just can't bring myself rate it.

Edit: gave it 4 stars because the book was written so excellently that it's still haunting me weeks later.
