I can't give this book a rating based on stars because it was not enjoyable. However, it was riveting and intense which means that I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one day because I had to know what happened. It was very weird and pretty messed up. Emphasis on DARK. 

It leaves off on kind of a cliffhanger, which means you have to read the 2nd book (hopefully there aren't more than that to reach a conclusion, but who knows?). I had to take a break and watching some lighthearted comedies after reading this because it was that intense.
