Wow, I haven't been this determined to finish a book due to the mystery behind its characters in a long while. Gripping and excellent shock value. Really well written with great suspense, and a fabulous twist. I only wish the ending had been extended more for plot value!

Verity helped me get out of my funk & back into reading. It kept me hooked right from the beginning, and I couldn’t put it down!
