Ratings and reviews

This story was quite confronting. I read it in one go, finishing it at 11.30pm at night. The characters are well drawn and the story line is gripping, but quite horrible too. I don't know if it is a story I want to read again, and because of the subject matter in all conscience I just can't give it a 5, but boy oh boy is this one talented author. If you like thrillers with a twist then this one to read this year.

OK it gripped me in the beginning the middle i didn't know where it was going, a little further in and it really had me then the ending gosh! I don't know what imagination you have to have to write like this.. But I think everyone should read this book

The book captured my attention but not in a good way. What a vile couple! They were both to blame. I had to read to the end just to know what would happen but wasn't impressed at all.
