This book was amazing. The beginning is a little bit slow but from the 50% mark it picks up like crazy. Would have been 5 stars if

it didn’t have weird anti-satanist elements

but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A well-written psychological thriller, there were several twists I didn’t anticipate. That said, I knew who the bad guy was almost immediately. The premise of the book is good and the execution is great too!

Pretty good book, definitely a little far-fetched in some ways but I enjoyed it. It’s a quick read and I would recommend it to younger readers looking for something intense.

I quite liked this one. Riley is becoming a great go to thriller author. I know I'll get a well wrapped up happy ending along with all mysterious plot points explained. This one was intriguing from the start, I loved trying to figure it out from the beginning and thinking it's going one way only to find it's going somewhere else. I enjoyed the ride.
