WOW! I honestly don't know what to say about this story, usually I don't read this type of book but I'm kinda glad I picked it up...I say kinda because this story is one I've NEVER read anything like.
It follows Neomi who goes to "save" her cousin from a bad marriage, which turns out to the understatement of the decade!
Catalina, Neomi's cousin, has gotten into a royal mess, marrying into a family that is freaking insane! They are trapped in their home and no one is allowed to leave that is blood. They are controlled by the home, their father. It's truly one of the strangest story lines I've ever read.
It's not a bad story it does have some good points, like the friendship Neomi develops with Francis.
Would I recommend this book? Yeah for those who like dark mystery thrillers.
