I have no words for this book.
The writing took me a little getting used to at first, but the way Tananarive Due crafted this story and its main narrators was incredible. I felt every chapter like a punch and kept waiting to see what would happen with Robert and Gloria. The way all of the paranormal/horror elements worked throughout the story was also wonderfully done and added so much tension to the book. The ending was perfect, no notes.
