An impressive depiction of a truly traumatic series of grooming relationships. While I found none of the characters likable, I thought the portrait of sexual abuse was unflinching. Incest (even step- relationships) and grooming are far more prevalent in our society than we’d wish and, while I found this book hard to read at times, this attempt to detail the perversions of attachment that are ingrained in these relationships was a feat. 

I will say that I was kept guessing throughout this book and thats one of the reasons I love mysteries, the act of guessing and the fantastic feeling of being right sometimes on who the killer is or who done the crime. I did guess some wrong at the start of the book, but I slowly managed to figure it out apart 5 chapters from the end, of the book the plot of the book made quite a lot of sense.

One of the things I didn't like was the sex scenes at all. They should be of been a warning label for pedophiles at the beginning of the book so people know what they are going Into with this book
Some of the sex scene we’re a bit uncomfortable to read about especially when the characters are 

 It's such a well written book and it keeps you wanting to read more and more the book. I will be picking up more of Peter Swansons books as this is the 2nd book I have read by him and really enjoyed. Xxx 

I bought this book a few years back because I absolutely loved The Kind Worth Killing and it made me think that Peter Swanson had more to offer and that I'd probably like his other books. And I was right. I really enjoyed this. It fell a little short of The Kind Worth Killing, but the twists and turns in this book was still intriguing and I found it played out rather nicely.

I will say that I kept guessing throughout the book and thats partly one of the reasons I love mysteries, the act of guessing and the fantastic feeling of being right. I did guess some wrongly at the start of the book, but I did figure out some things before and in the end, it made sense anyways and that's always a good thing. 

One of the things I didn't like was the sex scenes, and there should be a warning label for pedophiles. It makes sense within the story, but its enough and big enough of a plot point to make one uncomfortable.

I don't know what else to say. It's well written, it keeps you turning page after page, and it's definitely an indicator that I'm picking up more of Peter Swanson's books.
