What I Liked
This book was nothing I expected. At all. I read it right after reading The Chosen One, which features a delicate and gentle young protagonist who grew up in a similar cult as Minnow.

But Minnow is a sassy, embittered, long-suffering trapped-in-a-dangerous-cult young protagonist, and I loved her salty character. I loved the character of Angel and Wilson and, okay, all of them- I don't know if there wasn't a character I didn't love.

The story opens with the line, "I am a blood-soaked girl," and instead of beginning with Minnow Bly in a cult, as I expected it would, she's in prison for almost beating a stranger to death... with no hands.

The voice of the protagonist is amazingly strong and intriguing.

What I Didn't Like
The romance stretched a little at the end.

I wish - and this is personal preference, I know - that we got to see Minnow a little further beyond the end of the story.
