The Quiet Ones is one seriously messed up and disturbing read!

To start with I really didn't know what to expect from this story, I wouldn't say I was altogether gripped to begin with, but it certainly had me intrigued. As I got further into the story though I started to jump to a lot of conclusions which were well and truly wrong and by the time I was half way through I could not put it down until I had finished it.

Josie is quite a strange character. She has a lot of issues to deal with, though to be fair it is pretty obvious that she isn't dealing with them to well. To a certain extent I did feel sorry for her as life seems to certainly deal her a rubbish hand. To be honest I didn't think her life could get any worse, but boy was I wrong!

It's hard to say to much about the story with out giving to much away. What I will say though is that the author takes the reader on an extremely dark and twisted read. Some of the twists left me reeling but it certainly got the adrenalin flowing.

Many thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's been a long time since I was genuinely shocked by the plot ending.
Some of the language was a little crude and some of the story lines were a little off point but in general I loved this book. I stayed up until 1am reading it and simply loved it. Will certainly look out for other books by this author...and I highly recommend it as a psychological page turner.
