Favorite Quotes:
Leona’s face crumpled and she just cracked open, like an egg revealing rotten insides. Everything came spilling out all at once and it was messy and upsetting.
She feels like a feather in a storm, whisked back to the past then hurled into imagined future horrors.
Poppy’s magic trick is to divorce herself from the reality of it. Treat the bits she can remember like a bad movie she once watched.
Linda’s fear had infected Saffy on a cellular level. It was always with her, the gift that just kept giving. It was with her now.
Fear is so completely a part of who she is and what she does now, she suspects she might not know how to function without it.
My Review:
This one had a lot going on with several tense and active plot lines that kept me guessing. I couldn’t help but think of the adage that being paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t out to get you. Most of the characters were deeply flawed and varying levels of annoying, yet I was concerned for them and my curiosity was well engaged and busy devising and discarding my own theories. I had it partially correct, but I never could have conjured the total package.
