This was okay. I''m not sure Christopher Golden is the author for me. I likely won't read another of his books. 

A fantasy heist with morally grey characters who are all plotting to backstab each other? COUNT ME IN.

Such a weird book and I loved it. The story of a woman’s physical and mental evolution is told from 3 different perspectives (a boyfriend, her mother, and a friend). We never hear from the main character herself. This book was so compulsively readable. The main character is kind of really self absorbed, but it was still such a good read!

meh. this book was not good. The writing was tweeny & the plot was dopey. I'm bummed because I was pretty excited to pick this up.

But also, what is with the main character just casually breaking & entering into houses and cars? I hated it. 

oooooh this was so good. I read this all in one sitting. I'm currently spooked out & trying to figure out how I'm going to go to sleep tonight.

Bored.. Didn't like the characters. 

“She escaped a serial killer. Then things got weird.” 
 
Things indeed got weird and this book was fantastic. Super queer, wildly funny and  just a damn good time. Def recommend! 

entertaining,  but not what I thought it was going to be. 

Still mulling this over. 

woooh this was good. Twisty & turny and that last line!?
