Sisterhood of the Infamous

As the novel proceeds, more and more the two sisters assume the characteristics of interlocking puzzle pieces; totally different, but each only completely fathomable when held up against the other... LaForge possesses the enviable skill of revealing just enough along the road to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know what's next; wanting to keep turning the pages.
