This was brilliant! The audio recording is excellent and the premise intriguing and disturbing.

The author comes up with really interesting ideas, and I like how they continue in the weird world he has created. That said, I can't read any more of them. There are too many characters, I don't know what is going on and it annoys me and I don't want to read.

This is my first John Marrs book and I must say it didn’t disappoint. The plot is scarily plausible and that’s what makes this book so gripping. I’m ready to move on to other books by John Marrs after this.

Great book. Glad I read a physical copy of this book. The chapters are short and with different characters’ POVs. Several times I wanted to look back a few pages to see if I hadn’t misread something. I didn’t. That did just happen.

The second book I’ve read form John Marrs after reading The One and it’s such a good read once again.

Roxi was insufferable and Jeffrey was so creepy… but it was all worth it in the end!

So many interesting and real characters and although Anthony’s twist I foresaw, the rest was “plot-twisted” very well.

Highly recommend if you enjoyed The One.
