Ruby Jones has had it. Had it with her mother, her sister, and pretty boys like her sisters fling of the moment, Geoff.
She’s had it with the bullies constantly giving her and her sweet best friend, Felix grief. When she has a run-in with an aggressive stranger, Ruby accepts his beautiful (and expensive looking) knife as a form of compensation.
Soon the shadows take form and start whispering to her to do things. Bad things.
Will Ruby allow the hatred inside her fester and rot her from the inside out? Or will she be able to resist the whispers and the violent urges?
I really enjoyed my time with Ruby Jones. She’s feisty and I think we can appreciate a friend like that. The writing was terrific and the action scenes were well done—like a movie playing out in your head!
There’s no gore, no extreme element but it’s a good thriller and I think it has a great message behind it.

I absolutely loved this story.
Ruby’s life is not easy. Her mom’s always either working or drinking and her sister Kat makes me feel extremely happy I am an only child.
Then a knife appears.
What I loved most of all was the interaction between Ruby, the ‘Inkspot’ , and Felix , the ‘lighthouse’ , showing us the everlasting inner battle between hate and hope, between being left on your own and being loved.
Brilliant.
