5 *****


This is a new author to me and I took the plunge after reading the blurb and, boy, am I happy I did!! This psychological thriller/mystery suspense story really did things to my brain. I felt I was part of the character, Rebecca, and everything she felt, I did too. I was so engrossed in the words, in the story, that sometime I wondered what was real and what was not... and that’s rare to find in this genre. But this author really pulled it off and I can’t imagine the mental turmoil it must’ve taken to write it, but bravo!

The characters were a mixture of things really; Rebecca, who was, inside, just a child herself (you can tell if you read between the lines, and especially at the end), Stefan, who was a controlling butthole, but a little sly about it, Chrissy... I felt sorry for her in a way but at points I just wanted to roll my eyes, daphne and Mia, the kinda friends that a girl definitely needs, nurse nasty (Ellen) near the end, I figure she needs a good smack upside the head, Daniel... I’m still trying to figure him out but I like him. And all the colourful array of background characters who we meet for a short period, really added to the mix. Each character brought their own personality and traits forward and made the story the way it is. 

The storyline was incredibly descriptive, to the point it even gave me shivers. I was also pretty suspicious of everything along with Rebecca to be honest. I was also feeling a little paranoid on her behalf, especially when she kept getting sick. Anyway, the story was well put together, easy to follow and definitely a page turner. 

This author is incredibly talented and wish I found out about her sooner!! Great penmanship and definitely knows how to pull a reader in and keep them there. 

Fantastically spellbinding, this book is definitely worth picking up! And absolutely worth the 5 stars I’ve given it.

The way it was written, how it comes across and the colourful characters within, was fabulanté! I’m in complete awe of this author! She’s written an incredibly twisty thriller that keeps people guessing to the very end. Her words, her style and her creative imagination created a clever story full of suspects. I did not like DI Forest though. For me, she wasn’t a good detective inspector, she was a bully and I found her hatred towards people that can’t communicate quite uncomfortable. I’m partially deaf so I thought that character was rather distasteful. Loved Paige and her fierce determination in finding the truth, her warmth towards the deaf community and heart of gold. I lik...

My mind is still whirling in circles and I trying to get to grips of that ending... I definitely didn't see that coming!! Who I suspected? Well, it wasn't. I'm quite impressed, and mystified, with how the author never let NOTHING slip throughout the whole book!!! The characters - Angela, Rosemary, James, Evelyn - were all so amazingly well portrayed, though I really wasn't fond of Angela's snobbiness or with how stuck up she was. And Rosemary's attitude, for an older woman, was quite poor. I didn't like her anger, her pretentiousness, her mothering ways... she wasn't very supportive that's for sure. Now James was a huge su...
