This is a Priority Read
aka
Taken from American Library

(as in - omg I'm reading an actual book)

I must comment on the quality. And the creepiness. And the occasional roach.
Because atmospheric creepy reads is A Thing That Happens.
SO. Awesome. This is absolutely creeptastic! I loved it!

You all, YOU ALL.
This was a fantastically creepy shivery goodness.
And no, I am not capable of anything more coherent.

FINAL VERDICT: TRY IT! ( )

A creepy mystery with super gross details and a fantastic main character. I loved Victoria, and while it might not be the most original of storylines, it's so well written I didn't really care. ( )

3.5 stars. I read this because I was planning to assign it for the kids’ book club at my library, but I’m afraid a few small elements might be too gruesome. I like the general creepy and spooky atmosphere and I think the 9-12 set could handle that without too much issue, but man. If only it weren’t for those little things. I’ll think about it. ( )

Creepy! But I like the main character's transformation a lot. ( )

Delightfully creepy, and I don't really like creepy stories. I will be sure to recommend this to fans of Coraline. Both have creepy substitute parents (and others), as well as acid-trip horror scenes. I don't know if it's because I was rushing through the scary parts, but when things really got going at the end, I found it hard to follow exactly what was going on. Was that intentional? That the reader be as disoriented as Victoria? Or was it sloppy writing? Hard to tell. ( )
