"This was a good book. I listened to the audiobook which I don't recommend with this book. Had to go back a few times and relisten to parts. Still very much enjoyed it and it was definitely creepy!"

"I found this book to be just okay. I had higher hopes with others comments. May just be my tastes but I found the book too short. I wanted more of a chase on the mysteries here. "

"This is the book that got me back into the mystery-thriller genre. There is a bit of paranormal things in here, too! Such a cozy read. I stay for the story-telling that is just right for a campfire night, the complex father-son issues prevalent in the characters, and the mystery itself. Awesome. That’s all. Just awesome."
