Extremely well-written, plot dense and intense. From the get-go, this was already heavy and dark. It's more graphic than other thrillers I've read so far and the grape parts were disturbing. Hillier did not skimp on the details. It's a story that doesn't leave your mind and I catch myself now thinking about how fucked up it was sometimes. 

This was my first glimpse of Hilier who is a fantastic writer, so I'll definitely be reading more of her work. I will however be bracing myself.
