This was my first thriller read in a long while. I was sucked into the world of Rocton and the characters. Twists, turns, betrayal, so much is packed into this novel!

Another great book from Kelley Armstrong! I've loved her fantasy books and decided to try this one, even though I'm not usually into mysteries. I'm so glad I did! Read this book if you are a big fan of Kelley Armstrong! You won't regret it!
