I figured everything out at the beginning of the book, so a bit disappointed, but it's got some good tense moments.

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.

Another Sager title under my belt, this story was another compelling and suspenseful experience.

The hints build comfortably, but unlike other Sager thrillers my experience was simply “being along for the ride”. This book took twists and turns I absolutely did not see coming, but once uncovered made me nod appreciatively at the well paced “Chekhov’s Guns”. The execution was fantastic. 

So much so that I’m writing this at 1:50AM on a Thursday and given myself a headache from staying up too late. 

Sager’s characters are easy to connect with, though one thing I often notice with his protagonists is that I have no idea what they look like besides being “unremarkable” brunettes.

Overall a very satisfying story.

Read this in less than 24 hours! The kind of stress and panic that I need. Nothing beats a book you read in one sitting. 👍
