What a twisted book. I needed a few chapters to get into the story but then I literally flew through the pages.

Sean Kelton needs the help of his ex-girlfriend Sarah DeLaune as an tattoo artists. Two women have been killed in the most gruesome ways imaginable. The killer left a precise tattoo on both victims and Sean hopes Sarah might be able to offer some information about the tattoos. As soon as Sarah enters the first crime scene she's baffled. Something doesn't seem to be right
here.

Fragments of her past and her sister's killing have always haunted her and made her and mde her a nervous wreck. She can't remember what happened on this disastrous day but the ritual signs she sees at this scene bring out a painful resemblance to those at her sister's crime scene over a decade ago.

Things get tight when she has to leave town to look after her dying father and Sean's jealous wife and her friend vanish.
Back in her hometown she's confronted with her past, struggling to remember what happened. Where did Ashe Cain go and did he really exist or was he just her imagination ? Is it possible that she killed her sister and her brain doesn't allow her to remember that ? Is she the crazy one or is everything that happens, including her father found murdered in his hospital bed, a masquerade to set her up.

When everything seems to point to her as being the suspect for the past and current killings there is only one way for her to find out who killed Rachel and who's responsible for the current killings. She needs to convince her psychiatrist to finally agree to hypnotize her fragile mind.

This plot is tight until the end. The reader doesn't know who's the killer until the last chapters open the door to a darkness that creates chills and goosebumps. Although the end came quick I enjoyed the book very much and couldn't put it down.
