Publisher's summary

Stan Weir is mourning a tragic loss when he meets a mysterious nine-year-old girl, who claims to be the reincarnated spirit of his late wife. Marcy Keef is a single mother trying to make ends meet when her daughter Erin starts describing 'past life memories'. Neither wants to believe Erin, but as violent secrets are revealed, the truth becomes harder to deny.

With echoes of Stephen King, Second Skin is a propulsive thriller about grief, guilt and truths better left unknown.

The ending was a letdown

the plot had potential to be a really great sci-fi story, it had all the right pieces storing the climax, but the last two chapters destroyed this book. potential mystery ending up in an all too mundane and ordinary conclusion.

Brief but amazing!

I figured many aspects as this book went along as that’s my job as an author think about where you’re being lead and know what’s really coming. The very end dazzled me. Finally one to make my jaw drop! I highly recommend this!
