Technically did not finish this one. I got most of the way through (which was a slog), and I couldn’t make myself finish it. I wanted to try something new with this book and it just wasn’t for me. That’s on me being easily grossed out. 

Ultimately, I would have loved to have loved this book, but it became a chore to get through by the end. If I had been more into the story, I may have been able to finish it, but I just could not see the pay-off being worth the time spent on it.

Enjoyable read. Enticing. Mysterious. A few twists and a few obvious plot lines. Would recommend.
