I tried to buy Scott Hildreth's book "Dying to Survive" a couple of months ago, but before I 1-clicked it, it had already been removed by Amazon... Luckily for me, when I checked the next day, it had returned like a Phoenix out of the ashes, this time under the title "BANNED: Dying to Survive". Since then, it has undergone 3 more title and cover changes  "Plenty of Fish", "No Butterflies or Rainbows" & finally "To the Depths of Hell"... It will always be known to me as "Dying to Survive" though.I'm not going to go into the plot, because you can check out the synopsis yourself! What I am going to go into is my emotions & thoughts, while reading it! A simple one word description for it would be "Wow!" ... Scott has taken me on an intelligent, mind blowing, emotional ride and I loved it!It kind of reminded me of those old fairground ghost house rides... You know, the ones where you sit in the rickety car, and it jolts you along, suddenly stopping, then spinning you around to reveal something macabre & frightening... By the end, you are relieved but thinking what the hell just happened, as your slightly shaky legs step back onto solid ground again.Kudos to Scott, because not a lot of books recently surprise me!The storyline is well written, insightful, and takes you on twists and turns that will keep you reeling... The characters have so many layers, keeping you on your toes the entire time! You will be scared, curious, sympathetic, disgusted and turned on! It was a roller coaster of emotions...This is the first book I've read of Scott Hildreth's , but if this is a reflection of his other work... Sign me up for the season pass!It's not a romance, it's not pretty, there is no traditional HEA ... It's dark, tortured, raw...Am I glad I read it? Hell yes!
