I enjoyed this book more than others. It’s a topic of fascination to myself. Not sure I’d want to explore how possible it is, but it made for an easy read.

Creepy, unsettling, tense and satisfying. I would've read this in one sitting if I'd had nothing else on my agenda! It started a little slow for me and I had no idea the ride I was in for! After finishing, I immediately went to see what else Ana Reyes had written and was surprised this was her first novel. Highly recommend!

It’s an interesting concept! I love an unreliable narrator. The author is going through withdrawal and has a problem with alcohol. Is she the problem or is Frank a killer? I liked following the ups and downs . The ending was just okay. I did not guess what would happen.
