B.A Paris 'Chillingly Compelling' Diane Saxon 'I had such an ominous feeling of uncertainty as I turned the pages. It was tense, engrossing and twisty! Loved it' Noelle Holton 'From the first page, the tension is relentless, never letting up, and the suspense is maintained to the very end.. It is a story of the power of human need, the damage it can do, and the struggle to free oneself of its tentacles. Lauren - the good patient - is complex and completely believable. The best book I’ve read in a long time.
