This is the best thriller I’ve ever read. I can only hope it makes it to the screen one day and even better, that we get a sequel.

Couldn’t put it down! Impressive that this is the first book from this writer and I’m looking forward to what else he has in store for us. From start to end it’s the perfect story to keep you in suspense and try as I might, I couldn’t sleep not knowing what was going to happen to the very personable characters and their inextricably linked lives. This story and the plot twists utterly captivated me, I highly recommend you get cozy, lock your door, and keep reading! Bravo!!

I don’t normally write reviews but this book made me want to let others know it is well worth purchasing. Very suspenseful, very well written and flows really well. A real good book from a first time author, I hope he is going to write more soon.

During the first few pages of this novel, I noticed the writing style and wondered how the story would unfold. Quickly though, I was brought into the characters' lives through descriptions that were written with care and attention to just the right amount of detail. I felt myself being swept away into the plot that cleverly brought so many pieces together. As I read, I was there hovering over and observing each character as they navigated the many hurdles in their way hoping for a positive resolution.

I'm so inspired by this author and feel honoured to read his first book. I can see how his life's experiences were brought into the story to further the plot, making every piece feel so real. I had to keep reminding myself that this was just a story as I read!

I hope that there are many more stories coming soon!
