"wow. superb writing! I bought this hardcover at amazon and read as far as their little version of the kindle cloud reader would let me. Now I am dying to get my hands on it!! I'm not sure WHAT it is about the writing that grabbed me and pulled me in! I should have bought the whole thing on the Kindle, so I could read it all right away (kicking myself!) but patience I guess.I also have Dear Mr M on the way. Love this!" — Sep 16, 2016 06:46PM

"So glad Edward let me now at 11;15 that this book is going up a dollar a day. missed the 99cent day but barely grabbed the $1.99!!!! Just read the first one and i was left dangling. Plus trustworthy Thomas told me it's his best book so I'm so excited to dive into this 700 page chiller! I might have to take this one episode by episode if it gets really intense. reading Fog Warning again as well.I missed something big!" — Oct 30, 2016 08:47PM
