Holy. Crap.

This was such an interesting book that captivated me right from the start. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, I turned the page and then got knocked back two steps. Then came the last few chapters, a hard left turn from anything I ever could have dreamed of. And it was soooooooo amazing. I have no idea how Mr. Dekker comes up with these things, but I've read most of his books, and I have never once been disappointed. I've already recommended this one to multiple people, and I will continue to do so as much as possible. Outstanding story!

If you like to walk away from a book forever changed. This is that.

When I selected this book from the thriller category I expected it to have more pulsing heart rate, suspense filled content. However, this story fell more into the murder mystery and science fiction category for me. There was nothing “thrilling” about this story. Overall it was an average read for me.

My least favorite Dekker novel. It was weird, convoluted and confusing.
