One of Michael Prescott's best so far! I could not put this one down. This one keeps the tension high until the very end and there are plot twists that you just did not see coming! Prescott does a great job in creating a believable serial killer as well as making him an *almost* likeable character. I would highly recommend this book!

This is one of those books, once you start it's hard to put it down. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the plot would take an unexpected turn. As soon as I finished it, I started looking for more Michael Prescott books. I intend to read every one of them!!!

Couldn't stick with it, the first 100 pages just drag out and drag out and the story isn't a new one, other authors have done the same or close to it.
