WOW!
What an incredible, dramatic read; I
was hooked from start to finish. From a dramatic and horrific opening, this
thriller will have you eager to read every twist and turn. You will not want to
put this down!
This is such a clever story, with details
scattered throughout; some red herrings that will throw you off. I’m usually
good at spotting things and having these books all figured out, but Dan Scottow
stumped me until late on and even then, I was surprised.
I liked the characters; although ‘liked’
may be the wrong word. I liked that in terms of characters I didn’t know who to
trust, who to believe, who to pity and who would come out on top by the end.
The location and how well its described
adds to the tension; the idea of being so remote and away from things gives me
the shivers just imagining.
This is Dan’s third book and the
second I have read… his writing is fantastically descriptive and detailed; at
one point I didn’t know if I dared switch out the light! The book is intense,
with twists and turns galore, suspense and a thrilling finale.
If you are a fan of dark, dramatic, thrillers, I cannot recommend this highly enough.
