Jess' daughter dies in in the first part of this story. It's absolutely heart breaking to read. The second part of this story is scary. Strange things are happening in Jess' life and someone wants to take her back to when her daughter died. Jess is extremely strong and forgiving. I won't say anymore than that as I don't want to ruin the story but I sure as hell didn't see it coming.
This book is full of emotions. The heart breaking loss of someone so young. The pit of the stomach fear when strange things start to happen. The blind anger and the sheer disbelief of it all when the truth comes out. All of it is so carefully crafted and put together that as the reader you feel like you have been on this emotional journey too.
Lucy's writing is intense and captivating. I don't think I have been so engrossed in a story and not notice what is happening outside of the book. The thing about this book is that it's believable, all of it. It could actually happen to any one of us and it makes for a thrilling but scary read.
I really enjoyed the journey this book took me on and I'll be looking out for more of Lucy's books to see where she's going to take me next.
