YA
For Fancy, killing people is easy compared to growing up. When her sister Kit falls in love, Fancy feels abandoned and murderously enraged, until Ilan revives the part of her "that cares." Reeves's vivid story of the fantastically weird, violent world of Portero, Texas--murders, eviscerations, dismemberments, slicing and stitching--is part comic horror, part just plain horror, and part screwed-up, psychological coming-of-age.
