The darkness within!

I enjoyed this book, It might have been a little far fetched and a little predictable but it was good. Loved the narrator, She did an excellent job. It was hard to put this book down, I had listened to it almost in one day.

exciting. couldn't stop listening. great read.

great read. exciting. couldn't stop listening to this book. kept me wanting to know what happened next.

Predictable

I thought the first half of the book was good, but then things seemed repetitive. It was predictable, so there weren't those plot twists one wasn't expecting. I really wanted to love it, because Lisa Stone is the same author as Cathy Glass. Cathy Glass books are amazing stories about her as a foster carer. I would have never guessed that the same author would write books from 2 very separate genres.

Unusual plot but...

The plot is unusual and interesting. There is a lot of repetition of the characters' thoughts and it can drag on at times. You think "This has been said so many times before, move on..." Also a lot of foul language, the F bomb happens too many times. Overall it's a good story but repetitive...
