The first part of this book caught my interest and I quite enjoyed the relationship between Sab and Kat. However the plot as well as the rest of the book felt very predictable and flat for me. I didn’t warm to the main characters even though the things they went through were horrific.
Don’t know that I would read more from this author. The best thing for me was the cover! I love rabbits!

I feel the need to knock this down a point after realizing the full extent of the author's using a real story for the plot.

Positives
I really tore through the first half of this book; it's really gripping in its mystery. The back and forth timeline is employed well, and Kat's journey of self (re)discovery is interesting to follow along with.
Negatives
I found the end less than satisfying -- a lot of the reveals/resolutions frankly didn't make sense.
For example:
That was my biggest plot confusion but there were lots of little things too. And aside from Kat, I found most of the characters pretty flat.

There are themes explored in this book that I was not expecting, but they were approached tastefully and were obviously well researched. Read this book.
