I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had a few suspicions as to what was going on, the similarities had me thinking it was one thing but I audibly gasped when the twist revealed itself. It was very clever and even tho the thought had crossed my mind early it was squashed by the other ideas circling. I also appreciate seeing a side of DV that is more mental and manipulative and clever as it's not all fists and fury and I think this was well written.
