Liliyana S – Netgalley

‘Not for the faint-hearted, this ‘bone-chilling horror’ kept me turning the pages, captivated by some of the most vivid descriptions I have ever read. I could not put the book down but at the same time didn’t want the story to end – completely entranced by the rhythm and pace of its language’
