I'll be honest here. The surprise of Raeanne and Kaeleigh being the same person, as in one body with two personalities, was blown for me before I even began reading... Considering I was deliberately looking for books including multiple/split personalities. Perhaps that has a huge effect on how I felt about the book in general, but I suppose I'll never really know. I was pretty bored throughout a majority of the story. I read some reviews that said this was Ellen's most twisted and disturbing book yet, but I guess I'm made of much tougher stuff, because it really didn't bother me. I'm not saying what happened to Kaeleigh is okay, in any way, I'm just saying my reaction wasn't nearly as strong as some others. I felt like there wasn't much in the way of character development, though Ellen made it very easy to despise the father and mother.
