Reviewed by Mallory originally for Mallory Heart's Reviews
With a gripping reader's hook as powerful
as a grappling hook-violent, graphic, and enticing-this novel is taut,
well-plotted, and well-characterised. The backstory is interwoven subtly, never
detracting nor distracting from the "current" events of the novel: rather, it
adds to the escalating suspense and the reader will be wondering, "what's
happening now?" I was enraptured and raced through the pages, simply to find out
the answers to that question! At the end, also, I was left pondering: what if
these events could occur in actuality? That's not an unlikely possibility, and
it is one that makes this novel very "current" and very frightening.
