Chaotic, creepy, and wonderfully strange. Those would have been the five words that would have came out of my mouth had the second half of Another Little Piece not let me down. What started off eerie and beautifully written turned into something incredibly confusing and frustrating. Another Little Piece had it's high points; unfortunately, the lows conquered the story and made it an utter disappointment. If I never would have entered this story with high expectations, maybe it would have been 3.5/4 stars. But I did, and it sucks major balls. 

I'm not going to lie, Another Little Piece is a book that lingers because it was a read unlike anything I've ever encountered before. Whether or not you liked this book, it will not stop you from thinking about this befuddling plot. I wouldn't place this book in the Young Adult section, then again it's all how you take things. Can you take sexual content, loaded swear words, and a lot of blood/gore? If not, then my advice would be to avoid this book. I, on the other hand, had no problem with this. What's a horror story without blood, gore, and swearing? This isn't your average paranormal story. You won't receive vampires, goblins, ghosts, werewolves and other things that seem like the impossible. This paranormal seems as though it's practised today with blood magic. Possession. Cannibalism. Hell, maybe even some witchcraft. Another Little Piece has a lot of strange; gruesome scenes. 

Annaliese Rose Gordon has been missing for a year. Once found, she has no recollection of where she was and who anyone is. There's only one thing Annaliese knows for sure - it isn't her body. She needs to find out all the secrets kept hidden in order to escape. Piece by piece she has flashbacks of girls who disappeared, lots of blood, and oaths that were made and kept. I think the flashbacks were the biggest problem of this novel. It happened so unexpectedly I constantly had to stop and reread the chapter only to realise those particular chapters are from the past. 

What I also hated about Another Little Piece were the oaths. I thought it was pretty stupid to give up your soul just for the 'love of your life' to look at you googly-eyed and, once you had sex, pay the price. I guess once you've made a deal with the devil you'll only receive a piece of what you want. Finally, the last hundred pages really had me scratching my head and the very last chapter just irritated me. Everything happened so fast.

If you want to read Another Little Piece, lower your expectations and prepare to be mind-boggled.
