What Beta Readers are saying…
“I don’t read horror stories, but I gave this one a go because it had a dog in it, and it sucked me in. The science fiction bits were really interesting. The horror was more like an action movie and I liked that it wasn’t all blood and yuck. It was creeping unease. My favourite part was the relationship between the two main characters. It’s a love story trapped in a nightmare. I’m glad the love between the two heroes was so strong and so beautifully written because I might not have made it to the end.”

“This book. I could see the big twist coming, but when it finally worked itself out on the page, I realised I’d been holding my breath. The bad guy, she’s a piece of work. Loved her. She reminded me of old school villains like Alexis from ‘Dynasty’ and JR from ‘Dallas,’ but the mustache twirling was a lot more sinister and the stakes are a lot higher. The little girl could have just been a side note, but she’s not and that’s what sold me. She didn’t sit by, she had agency and I loved that. And the dog.”

“I don’t like books where kids are in danger, but Jarryd asked so nicely I had a look. I’m not a fan of horror and I won’t watch it or read it, which means I was apprehensive. This book scared the pants off me. The first few pages had me sweating. What kept me reading was I cared about this family. Plus, the little girl is adorable and I had to see if she survived. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say I doubt I’ll ever forgive Jarryd for ending this story the way he ended it. Cruel. So cruel. But, it’s a great read!”
