[Beth (bibliobeth) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did but a really brilliant read, good characters and fast paced storyline. V.good!

[Emma · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some decent twists and turns but really dull writing style and extraordinarily long chapters making it difficult to snatch 10 minutes reading here and there put me off.

[The Cats’ Mother · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was on OK story but very irritating writing style.

[Paula · Rating 3 out of 5]

The plot itself caught my attention, and the characters were also quite interesting yet somewhat disturbing. However, the writing style wasn’t for me. I found myself glossing over the pages at times. Overall, it was a decent read. I didn’t hate it or feel particularly glad that I read it either. Meh.

Probably not one to read if you're of a sensitive nature - at times it was pure filth. Full of intrigue and plot twists but I felt it lost its way a little towards the end. Some complicated topics but a great read. Kept me entertained on my holidays.

[Paige Slater · Rating 3 out of 5]

Such a tragedy ending. At first I got confused with characters but I fix that and the fact theres a lot going on in this book but overall good read

[Trish Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this - now I must read The Magus which is referred to throughout!

[Mel Haggart · Rating 1 out of 5]

Painful to read. I had no empathy with the lead character. I’m going to put spoilers but so many things happened that seemed very of the characters characteristics. Unimpressed with the ending

[Corrina Gordon · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is what I'd call glamtrash which is usually ok as a summer read. Unfortunately I found the writing quality unreadable and predictable. Couldn't finish it.

Kinda good, read it quite a while back.

I've read a few novels by Susan Lewis. I like her style of writing. The Mill House currently remains my favourite by her.
