"This one really is one of her best, it has twists and turns. Im not saying this is my favorite but this is a really good book out of her collection. All of them are unique in there own way but this is a different type of unique that ive seen from her and i love it."

"I thought the story was pretty good, not my favorite from Darcy that’s for sure. I almost want to give it two stars but i love her writing style so I’ll leave it at a low 3 star. The bonus stories are good though, that’s also why it’s a 3 star :) wouldn’t recommend this book by her. She’s had much better in my opinion. "

"Loved it, a classic horror story with just the right amount of twist that it didn't feel over played."

"i really enjoyed this book, it was quick, creepy read with an amazing ghost story. a lot of the reviews for this book say the writing is bad, but i disagree completely. the writing and vocabulary is just simple, which is something i enjoyed. i picked up this book with the intention of reading before bed, and to take a break from my other book i’m currently reading, so the simpler writing style was amazing. this is definitely a great read."
