This book was an intriguing thriller that kept me hooked and filled with questions. I am assuming that Sunshine wasn't to blame for the creation of Marcy, but rather it triggered a psychotic break. I am not sure how a happy drug that never had any ill-effects on anyone else could do that, but I'll just chalk it up to drugs really be out here fucking up brain chemistry. That makes more sense to me than a drug being responsible for everything, especially how Marcy was taking over. One question that is bugging me is how/where/when Cassidy learned the creepy nursery rhyme that Marcy sang while hunting because I feel like that is something Honor would know too, and seeing it written on the mirror would set off alarm bells.
I kept picturing what possible ending this story could have, and when I first started reading the last chapter I was disappointed that it was anti-climatic, but then as I read on, I took that thought back. I don't really feel like the story was resolved but I'm okay with that. I think the feeling of lack of closure is supposed to reflect Marcy's lack of closure knowing that Tate survived. Interesting.
Also, not that this is relevant, but I think Marcy choose that name for herself because it is a play on Mercy, which the boys didn't show her so she wouldn't show any either.
