I enjoyed this book . It haunted me after reading each chapter. I didn’t want to put the book down. No spoilers here. As this is the 1st book in a trilogy, I had to read all three. I was not disappointed. Loved the characters.
This was intense but I couldn’t put it down.
a good read but just a tad too creepy. Not quite Stephen King but kept me looking over my shoulder
I’m not one to write reviews but this book is outstanding. It was fast paced and had me hooked from page one. Kept me guessing until the very end and although it had some dark areas it is well written and I’m amazed at the authors ability to let you know when something unpleasant is happening with out going into all the gory details. The author did an excellent job and I look forward to the rest of the series
I really don’t like suspense books but this one I fell for hook line and sinker. The characters are great. The main character is she a victim or a criminal you just don’t know until the very end! And now I am totally weird-ed out when I see butterflies.
All I can say is “WOW”
