Christina Bergling liked Khaya Ronkainen's review of Red Walls: "Engrossing Read! I'm not a fan of gory horror, but I truly enjoyed this book. It proved a page-turner, and the story's gripping plot kept me on the edge of my seat. And the ending? I didn't see it coming. If you like horror, check this book out!" Read more of this review »

Christina Bergling liked Christina Moan's review of Red Walls: "Awesome awesome awesome! Such a great read that I couldn't put down. I don't want to give anything away, but the writing is so detailed that you'll feel like you're one of the characters every step of the way. Highly recommended!
