by Catriona Ward (Ward)
I received this book as an ARC
(Advanced Reader Copy), as a promotion for Readers’ Advisory.
I had never heard of Catriona Ward,
though I was intrigued right away when I saw that Stephen King had sung her
praises for her previous book. I figured, if my favorite author digs her
writing, I will too.
Um, digging it is an
understatement! I love the way Ward writes!
This story is brilliant, and I was truly on the edge of my seat throughout. I
never knew what was coming. Every time I thought I had something figured out, I
would be proven wrong. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Rob and her
daughter Callie, between Rob and her sister Jack, and I hated
Irving! (As I was meant to.)
Pick this one up and give it a
read! It’s a bit graphic, a bit dark…. that’s what I love!!!
