Average rating3.6
Slow Burn Examination Of Sociopathy vs Psychopathy. Have you ever wanted to read a fairly slow, in depth, rather brutal look at what happens when a psychopath and a sociopath cross paths... and someone else is caught in the middle?
Well, then I have the book for you!
I'd owned this book for quite some time before finally reading it as its sequel, The Next Mrs. Parrish, was released - directly in preparation to read *that* book as an Advance Review Copy. While normally I do recommend that people go ahead and start series books early.... in my defense, I thought I *had* read this one a while back before realizing I hadn't. :)
This noted, any readers new to this series will be glad that the sequel is out now, as with the particular manner that this one ends... having the next one readily at hand was actually a great thing indeed.
Just, again, be warned that this is a S L O W book, where even the twists can seemingly take a few dozen pages to reveal themselves. And in the end, virtually *no one* looks overly great *and* there is quite a bit of abuse and other injustices discussed and actively shown. So if darker books aren't your thing... may want to rethink this one.
In the end though, this really was a fun book that I'm glad I finally read.
Recommended.
