I went into this book very blind to what exactly it was about and holy crap, I was blown away by it! It's not often you can call a 500+ page book "fast paced" but for everything that happens just within the fist 100 pages, I coudn't put it down and kept saying "good lord, if this is whats happening now, what's going to happen next!?" An incredibly well thought-out story with characters that you empathize with on varying levels. "Holly" is also on my TBR and when I realized it's about the same Holly from this book I got so incredibly excited because she was absolutely my favorite character. This is a must-read for anyone who enjoys crime thrillers with that touch of supernatural.
