I stand corrected. In fact I sit chewing-my-nails awake-till-the-small-hours-reading corrected.” Spineless Reviews“Once in a while a book comes along that combines realistic themes, great characters and interpersonal relationships, and terrifyingly realistic details. This is that book!” D.Dobler“If you like dark and disturbing with a side of supernatural and are ready to delve into the dreadful history of mental illness, then this book is for you. Warning, just like book one, if you can't take the horror, don't open the book. But if you can, it is well worth the read!” Jessica
