The stuff of nightmares but also hope... an excellent, and wothwhile read, but not for the faint hearted.. - Anfor - Jun-04-2011   

I'm going to recommend this, as the last time I was that morbidly fascinated was at the end of the book "Gerald's Game" Its got a major ick factor, but a good solid read. - AC - Jun-04-2011   

gory... morbid... awesome! and yes a part of it is sort of reminiscent of stephen king's gerald's game. only this story's plot, for me, has more oomph. to those who like stephen king's morbidly descriptive writing, read this. you wont regret it. - ann o'nymous - Jun-05-2011   

I usually don't like stories with gore and the like, but I gotta say I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the writing was excellent! Recommend this 100% - Anonymous - Jun-06-2011   

wow... that was the first word to come to mind at the end of the story. Literate, smart, engrossing -- and yes very disturbing -- story that nevertheless has the timeless idea of love conquering all. Highly recommend, but not for the squeamish. - squinty - Jun-10-2011   

WOW, Okay. How can you describe a story that horrifies you and grips you at the same time. WOW, jus wow. I love/hate/love this story. Because..... well just read it and you'll see but be warned its not an easy/lite read. - F. - Jun-10-2011   

dark? yep, it sure is, but it is also well done and heartfelt. - Anonymous - Jun-18-2011   

That was intense. Great job - sassy123 - Jul-02-2011   

Ms Ross has a talent to hold you attention even with a dark story such as this. - Intl Warrior - Jul-31-2011   

Awesome, gut wrenching in places but so worth it. Take the time to read this. You seriously won't be disappointed. Be warned it's not for the faint hearted. Had me in tears. Thanks for a great read that really played with my emotions. Its been a while since that has happened. Well done - Dragongrrl - Sep-09-2011

Definately don't read while eating spaghetti. Edge of your seat, truly gripping story. - Wheezie - Jan-21-2012   

It was well written and gripping, but the story line was rushed. Their love sort came from nowhere and was therefore a bit unbelievable. It was a good story though, kept me reading. - Anonymous - Apr-30-2012   

Just read for the second time and enjoyed as much as the first. I hope to see more from this author. - hollyhwrites - Sep-07-2012   

One of the best stories I have ever read. A very powerful read provoking inmense emotion. Highly recommended. - Niyah - Jan-09-2013   

Wow...Just Wow! - Tracey - Jan-09-2013   

One of the best, if not the best, crime fictions on the internet. The words and story flow so smoothly, the darkness surrounds the reader like a favorite blanket. Exceptionally well done!! - Stacia - Jan-11-2013   

This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever read but keep going back again and again. It is well written and a very good read. - Anonymous - Nov-22-2013   

Very dark and disturbing. However, one of the best stories I've read. - ~M - Nov-23-2013   

One of the best unpublished stories I have ever read. I try to re-read this story once a year since 2011. And after 5 readings I still love it every time. - M.F. - Dec-31-2015   

Bit dark for me but well done - SD - Jun-21-2016   

This is my second read and I am still in awe of the work. Truly an impressive tale. Scared the shit out of me because of the truth of it. I believe stories like this should be told more often; they remind us to keep alert and aware. Thanks and keep up the great work. - soopi - Apr-15-2018
