Perfect story to read during winter. Reading it at night added to the creepy atmosphere and kept me on edge. Several times this story had me turning on the light and closing my closet door. Perfect story telling!

I was COMPLETELY hooked into this story. As usual, I could only read it during the day, but that just means it was a successful thriller. There were quite a few twists that I didn’t see coming, and I was not quite sure how the author was going to work together all the characters, but she did. If you want cheer in your life right now, I would NOT read this. If you want some thrill, go for it!
