This book was so atmospheric and creepy. It was compelling and addicting to read. Alex North is a damn good writer and storyteller. It’s safe to say I’ll pick up anything he writes.

Really good book on how a troubled and damaged child can take others into their fantasy world and wreck people's lives. It is horrifying and troubling in many ways, but it is captivating story. It was mystery and kept me guessing until the end.
