"Very unsettling, will you keep you in your toes for about 3/4 of the book and then anxious for the other 1/4. Nothing seems right from the beginning, which sets the tone for the rest of book. 7/10."

"I didn’t realize this book was written by the same author as Unspeakable Things. Both books are so fantastic and addicting to read. This author is great at ending the chapter in a way that makes you want to keep reading. Definitely looking forward to reading more of her books!"
