Well.. this book consumed me to the point I physically couldn’t put it down. Dark, sinister, twisty, suspenseful, captivating, thought-provoking, addictive, completely jaw-dropping, breathtaking.. the list could go on. Verity had to say the least some pretty fucked up chapters where I literally through the book away from me I was so disgusted. I wanted to claw my eyes out with what I was reading, yet it had me going back for more. It is incredibly well-written but I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I haven’t read anything like Verity before and I have read a few CoHo books but this is definitely different to anything else she has written.

This book was crambed with lots of twists and turns which was great, though at time really quite far fetched which detracted a little from the enjoyment. I was left wanting more at the end of each chapter and found I was building lots of theories as I read. The characters were written in a way I found my feelings about them constantly changing.

I did like the end where you still didn't know which version of Verity was true ie the autobiogrpahy one or the letter one. Especially coupled with seeing the darker side of Jeremy. This was further emphasised when I read the bonus end chapter.
