My Thoughts:

                The plot is really engaging and will surely make the readers curious right from the first page itself. As we move ahead in the story we get to see how complex things start to get but throughout the author has maintained this amazing blend of horror, suspense, thriller and mystery throughout the book. There are times when the readers will surely experience the chill with the brutality that the character had to go through.

                The readers will definitely feel the characters emotions especially Jessica who had to go through with personal loss and then this complex case where too many secrets lie behind these brutal deaths.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is done amazingly.  The cover page is horrifying and will attract readers attention. The title of the book is also apt to the book.

                Overall, I would surely say that this was a perfect blend of horror, suspense, thriller and mystery and horror readers will surely enjoy reading this book.
