Devilish/YMMV
- Crowning Moment of Funny: Maureen Johnson means you can count on a good number of these. Some personal picks include, "The ice came through the shed roof," and "They didn't answer. Because they were cats." (It Makes Sense in Context.)
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Ally explaining to Lanalee how she played her, sacrificing herself to save Jane. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Bits of it here and there. Some special mentions:
- Lanalee telling David to go take a bath... and not telling him he could get out again.
- The entire scene where Owen shoots himself to explain to Jane that he's already dead.
- Jane cutting off Ally/Lanalee's toes.
- Like You Would Really Do It: Jane is dying in the prologue. The credibility of the threat is left up to the level of cynicism of the reader. She lives.
- The Woobie: Ally.
