Damaged
A dark, chilling Psychological Crime Thriller for fans of Paula Hawkins, Graeme Cameron, Gillian Flynn and S. J. Watson.
Even though I've seen the newspapers, read the headlines and watched the television reports, it still doesn't feel real. I still can't quite believe he's so damaged.
A serial killer is terrorising Berkshire.
Everyone is hiding something.
Kira: 'I could kill that man.'
Nathan: 'Some secrets can destroy you.'
Jonathan: 'I'm not innocent. We're all guilty of something.'
Each and every one of us is haunted by something. It's what makes us human. We all sleep in darkness. It's not the dark you should fear though, it's the light. That's why some things are better left unsaid. Some wounds are too painful to re-open.

Was expecting a brilliant ending. Very dissapointed. Text needs proof reading for grammar.

Rather sorry I started this book. Very disappointed with the ending.

Not too sure about this book, I think the fact that it is written from at least 3 peoples views and each chapter is a different view. The storyline is hard to follow and the ending was somewhat predictable.

dnf - a serial killer on the loose but I can't care less. Neither do I care about the characters and their messy love life. My advice to the authors: make me care if you want me to finish your book.

Damaged review
Excellent until the ending! Horrible way to end the story. I mean really? I would have given this 5 stars because it kept me turning pages deep in the night and then BAM! What a let down.... I hate endings that really aren't endings... Disappointed
