Reviews

[Shawn Deal · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable read. This was a good well paced novel, that built and built the suspense. A ending that I didn't see coming but was completely logical. Hard to find more of his books by this Austrailian author, but I am certainly going to.

good read but a bit surrealistic
