Review: What a delightfully creepy thriller! The creepy things started off with just a general feeling of unease, but quickly escalated and become much worse. I told my fiance all of the weird things that happened as I read, going, “Oh my gosh, you won’t believe what happened next!” It’s the kind of book you feel like you need to talk to someone about – even though I know he doesn’t share my love for thrillers.

I really appreciated how the point of view switches between the main character, Roz, and the ‘evil character’, Sheridan, who wants Roz’s baby. It was really interesting to see Sheridan’s motivations for the things she did, and see what things were going on in her head. It really helped set the book apart, which can be hard to do with a thriller.

I recommend this to anyone who loves thrillers, or who just wants a creepy story that they’ll keep turning pages of, eyes wide, trying to figure out what’s going to happen next.
