The rest can leave.Now a horrifying waiting game is about to begin …

Okay, but not Ms King's best work

I always look forward to reading Alex A. King's books. I've read all of her series of books; the Women of Greece books, Kat Makris Greek Mafia, Greek Ghouls, Revenge Services and Penny Post Myth Agent, each book 5 stars in my opinion and I'm always looking forward to her next release. I just didn't care too much for this book. It didn't seem to be her style of writing. It's just my thoughts of the book, for all of her excellent books, there is bound to be one mediocre book. I'm still anxiously waiting for her next book.

This is not a book to read in stages. You will lose some of the plot. It is so cleverly written that I'm tempted to call it a psychological thriller. It does mess with your head. You have to pay close attention otherwise you lose some of the clues that are cleverly dropped all through the book.

I really hope there is a second book. It ended with a whisper of a promise.
