This book took me all over the place, and I loved it. Not too long, not too short, plenty of twists. I saw a lot of myself in Emma and I had a few visceral reactions. Highly recommend if you’re in a reading slump. Will be reading Adams’ No Exit asap

THE DOG IS FINE. Lest anyone dnf for fear. No promises on any of the people.

This was so much more than the suspenseful, slasher-y book I thought I was getting into (though it was that too.) A master class on how to end a story, with plenty of twists to keep you guessing.

I adore Taylor Adams. Having read most of his books, this one I have to admit isn't my favorite but it is still very well told and plotted. Fans of Adams who are looking for gore, violence, and cat and mouse games will be happy with this read.
