This was unputdownable and the quest to find my way through the suspense consumed my life. I work full time and am a mother of 3 + a husaband...and I still finished the book in 4 days.

North spins a tale so chilling and real it'll make your skin crawl and keep you looking over your shoulder, locking your doors and watching your kids closely. Father son relationships propel this mystery through a series of surprises and intricate detail to lead you to an overall satisfying ending.

Really enjoyed this read. Felt like I was on the edge of my seat for much of it and the author did a really good job with the father / son dynamics. Didn’t have to wait for all of the mysteries to be unleashed until the end - there were some throughout. The premise is every parents worst nightmare tied into family feelings and dynamics that keep you wanting to understand more. Spooky and a bit chilling. Be sure to lock your doors tight!!
