This got way more violent than I expected. Very fast paced. Didn't like some of the language used in here, but definitely kept me on my toes.

Amazing conclusion to the Wax and Wayne series. Now don't mind me, I'll be running to the store to replace all the tissues I used.

This exceeded my expectations in every way. It was an eerie and quiet story...until it wasn't. A great build up, a disturbing plot, and the perfect setting. Can't wait to read more by Erin Craig.
