Rating: 5 out of 5

Warning!! Make sure you have some time to read, coz once you start reading this story, you won't want to put it down!!... I decided to buy this book after seeing a 5 Star recommendation from a friend with similar tastes in fiction... I have to say it totally pulled me in right from the start, throughout the whole book, then at the end it left me wanting more of this talented author’s works! ... Oh, and don't let the few low stars reviews sway you from getting this!!Douglas Wickard is a master at creating thrilling tension that keeps your heart pounding and your spine tingling leaving you hypnotized turning page after page! ... All that and more as you're sitting on the edge of your seat (at least when you're not jumping up from hearing a noise & checking the doors again, to make sure they’re still locked ;) ... LOLI was somewhat hesitant at first, since I rarely read horror stories any more due to the over-descriptive graphic content now-a-days :o ... However, I still love a good mystery/thriller & this book has it all! ... Fortunately, it doesn’t describe every single gory detail, yet is skillfully written to ignite the imagination & scare the hell out of you :o ... Don’t get me wrong, there is more than enough gore to satisfy any avid reader of the horror genre, but not too much detail for those who might get a queasy stomach :) ...I was pleasantly surprised with the male narrative ‘POV’ for the lead female character... It was more realistic & so much better than any other male writer I’ve read in the past, and the way he could switch back and forth between Sami or a man was flawless! ... Also, as a pet lover, I was relieved to know that Blue lives on! (Before starting this book, I had read a blog interview where the author explained he previously had a special dog that he could now memorialize in his writing :)Look out, all you authors of thrillers! ... I can see this author's name rising to the top of all the Best Selling lists :)
