  • Kept my interest

    This book kept my interest but was somewhat predictable. I had it figured out about halfway through the book but wanted to see if I was correct. There were a few little surprises however. Didn’t really like or feel sympathy for any of the characters. It was a good easy read though.

  • Can't put it down!

    This is a complete page turner that has given me many wide-eyed, gasping moments! I'm not even finished with it yet. Just when you think things (in the story) can't get any more messed up, something else is revealed. The pacing, characters, atmosphere, dialogue, and element of suspense are all top-notch. I will be looking for more from this author immediately!
