A page turner! I loved this book, and had a hard time deciding whether to let it go or not. Finally decided to as it was such a great book, that I hope others will want to read it.

Very interesting, dark mystery. It is a quick read,but is comprised of twists and turns that keep the reader involved to the surprise ending. I enjoyed it very much.

I would call this a 'haunting' love story. It isn't the best book I've ever read but something about it from the first will just keep you reading and it is hard to put down, just enough mystery about 'Dora' that keeps you wondering 'what is her secret', you might figure it out and you might not--I didn't and it made the ending a surprise.

Great story, plot and twist and turns to a surprise ending. Read it in two settings. A must read.

Well, maybe the hype on the cover had me built up for something that just wasn't coming. Or maybe it was just a tad too boring. I wasn't impressed with the story at all, hardly any suspense, and I just hate it when I figure out the big twist. It was a no brainer once the info was given.
