Wow, what a debut! A beautifully written, chilling psychological thriller. Taunt, tense and very clever with twists . . . I absolutely loved it I highly recommend this book - it is an exceptional debut. A first class, gripping triumph of a book I raced through it . . . first-class writing! It is BRILLIANT! Refreshingly different, and actually quite disturbing. I loved it! A completely gripping psychological suspense that had me glued to the pages and rushing through to the end. It's a bum-on-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of read that you can't put down until it's done Such an exciting rollercoaster of a read with twists that I wasn't expecting. The ending was a complete shock.
