Usually Slaughter's books start out slow and it takes me a while to be hooked, but it's always worth it. However this book in particular was too slow for me, probably because the whole book happens in 2-3 days time, I had to push myself a lot to finish it. Even though the ending was completely schocking and totally worth it, I was still a bit disappointed. I also thought the theme was a little simillar to "Pieces of Her", with the whole "the only way to change the world was to destroy it" thing. I like the theme, and all the other intense, violent and necessary themes she brings in this book (as always, she doesn't hold back), but it felt a little repetitive.
