This was the most insane twisty thing I've read to date but I couldn't stop reading it. The premise is horrific, but I had to know what was going on. I swear ever three chapters my jaw was on the floor or I was saying wtf?!

This is my first John Marrs book and oh my God it did not disappoint! It was gets-under-your-skin creepy and addictive from the very first page. 

 I couldn’t get enough! The twists were never ending and even though I had guessed the biggest twist I still enjoyed this book thoroughly! 

 This book is for anyone who can handle dark and I mean DARK stuff. Won’t give spoilers!
