This is not a book you can race through, rather it is one to stop now and than to mull over what is happening in the story. The blend of horror with familiar overtones is one that you appreciate even while occasionally getting creeped out, I think that the ending was a good indicator that what Claire has already been through is just the calm before a coming storm that hopefully is either written or in the works.
Not your normal teen read but totally one you might want to finish when it is still light outside!
