You won't be able to put it down because you must finish it to see what happens, even if it keeps you up late at night to do so. This is a spooky thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. (Totally needed it!)ĭisclosure: This ebook was provided by the author in exchange for an HONEST and not necessarily positive review. And maybe I had to sleep with the light on in the bathroom. Actually prayed a little harder, a little longer than usual. Johal did such a superb job painting the story, giving life to the shadows, that I have to admit having trouble falling asleep. I love paranormal but I've got a pretty active imagination and Ms. I mean, really, hot best friend who's neat, tidy and cooks like a Parisian chef? What's not to like? Fenton, her good friend and co-worker, kicked her ass or hugged her, whatever the situation called for.


I loved the characters, especially best friend Seth. Who was helping Gwen, who was hindering her, who she'd end up with? Hell, would she even survive? The pace was perfect: gave me just enough detail to satisfy my need to create an image in my head while keeping me on the edge of my seat, needing to turn the page.

Throughout the story, I was never sure what was coming next. Her motivations for her actions are unselfish as she struggles with a full on spiritual attack. Most books I don't like result from unlikeable heroes or heroines but Gwynneth is a girl after my own heart. Johal created realistic, likeable characters. Throughout, I rooted for the good guys and kept an eye out for the bad guys. Heart pounding, breath holding, fist clenching scenes made shivers run up and down my spine more than I care to remember. Johal grabs you by the fears and immerses you in her boiling cauldron of seething spiritual oppression. What I will say is I read this in one day, with several unwilling breaks. I won't summarize, that's what the rest of the post is for, and I don't want to spoil the read. This story gets in your head and every shadow becomes so much more than a shadow. Oh, and maybe don't finish it right before bed. Don't read this when you have anything pressing because you will not want to put this book down once you start it.
