I actually spent a lot of the book really confused about what was happening. I know Ori got the justice she deserved or whatever, but I honestly am really unclear about how that happened. I feel like I need to read it at least once or twice more just to figure out what on earth happened. There was the whole escaping prison, and all of the dead girls who were at the prison and it's definitely a mess of a confusing story. I found I couldn't connect with anyone, and I really wanted to know more about Ori, who is still shrouded in mystery...to me, at least. I kind of felt like things made less sense at it went on, especially since things weren't explained...either that, or it was super-subtle and I wasn't paying enough attention to what was going on.

It is an interesting way to tell a story, and I think it's the sort of story that needs at least 2 or 3 reads for everything to sink and make sense. I will say that it was hard to put down, and it is page-turner because you want to know what happens.

I don't know if I'm necessarily the right reader for this book, because I do like having answers to my questions, and I do like things to make sense, but with the right reader, I can see how this would be an awesome book.

Rating: 2 stars. It's definitely hard to put down, and there is a really creepy aspect that I love, but I think I need to read at least once more for everything to sink in.
