Loved this book! Well actually it terrified me but I couldn't put it down and finished it in two days. Brilliantly written, it draws you in so deeply, leads you into thinking you know what's coming next then has a great twist.

Amazing! I could not put this down! Brilliant writer, had me gripped from start to finish. I love the way its told from all angles. Not one detail missed!! Will be downloading the rest of her books ASAP!
