I nabbed this book while it was free on Amazon. I was sold by the synopsis which reminded me of The Association by Bentley Little- one of my favourite writers. However instead of being a rip-off of the book I have previously read, this novel gave another terrifying dimension to the dangers of gated communities. I was drawn into the story very quickly. This writer knows how to tell a story and eases the reader into the scenario, instead of barrelling straight into the action, giving us a chance to get to know the background of each major character and thus, understand their actions and motivation.I was enthralled with this story and loved this style of writing. I loved the mix of different characters and I actually adored the sound of Eden Gardens before the sinister events began. My only criticism of this book is the amount of errors I found. I felt that this sometimes spoilt my enjoyment and made me have to reread certain passages to ascertain what was happening. However in the grand scheme of things, this was a minor irritation and didn't prevent me from reading and thoroughly enjoying this book.I will look out for more in the same vein from this writer in the future.
