My review

4/5 Stars

A creep in an airport, a mysterious fire, and threats to an elderly woman. These seem to not have any connection at all and yet they do. I love this story for the way that it uses suspense to hook a reader.

The biggest thing that stood out to me about this story was the character development. They’re all vividly written, especially Rutland. In the beginning of the story, I found him to be a despicable character interested only in himself, and because of this, I kept reading, trying to see if there would be any redemption for him. The story had so many twists and turns that I found myself trapped in the pages, eager to see more.

This is definitely a great read if you’re a fan of thrillers!

Proud author responsible for Dead by Morning and The Council, fascinated by the dark and macabre. Stephen King is her all time inspiration mixed in with a little bit of Eminem and some faint remnants of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. When she began writing, she started in horror but it somehow drifted into thriller. She loves the 1988 movie Heathers. She was born and raised in Michigan but traveled across the country to where she currently resides in Texas.
