The plot is very intelligent and will keep you entertained throughout the book. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)Women are turning up dead in the rural outskirts of Virginia, killed in grotesque ways, and when the FBI is called in, they are stumped.

    MAY - sounds like a scary movie/thriller and not what I’m into. I’m sure those who like murder mysteries and horror will like this.

    #MAY - A horror book, if you ask me. Interesting written, it makes you hold your breath while reading. Not quite my type. Hope she finds her freedom.

    MAY I never find myself in her predicament. The first chapter is well written but creepy.
