Ratings and reviews

This was really, really good! It's a story about the battle of good & evil... but in this case, evil won. It's a story that really makes you wonder about the true nature of people and which face they show everyday. Really great story!

Now this was a 5 star story.. hooked from the beginning. Great story & makes you think about all the people you know & meet and the parts of them they potentially keep private or hidden.. Will check out more from this author..

the whole time it kept me on the edge of my seat and didn't lose my interest for even a second I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for something to keep them on the edge of their seat
