Review: Started a bit slow for me, but worth the wait!

I was probably 15 pages into the book before the characters really drew me in. I'm so glad I didn't put it aside to the "read at a later date" pile. The slow start, for me, stemmed from the feeling of "another drug-addicted writer novel" but this one goes far beyond anything I'd previously read.Olly has more problems than his addictions. His escape to a cabin in the middle of nowhere was more than one from the physical pain of withdrawals and the emotional pain of heartbreak. I loved how the author captured the essence and pain of withdrawals so clearly. At points I really felt a twinge of pity for Olly for a variety of reasons. Olly had several demons to battle when the story began, yet managed to attract more as the story progressed.In the end, I truly enjoyed the story, the characters, and had a deep appreciation for Ezra White's writing style. The story line took me on several twists that I didn't expect. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller/horror with unexpected twists.
