Gritty, dark, compelling, and utterly confronting!

This novel is sensational. The way the story is progressed is an absolute masterclass in managing perspectives, and the story flowed so well.

The themes are truly confronting, but told in such a beautiful and respectful way.

The twists are twisty, the plot deep and enthralling, and I just couldn't put it down from the first chapter.

Well done on an exceptional debut novel, Hayley!

So very, very Hawkins!

Paula is able to write in such a way that it burrows into your psyche. Like an ink blot test, Paula is able to find parts of you and bring them forward as part of the story, so that your own scruples and unacknowledged anxieties become part of the story.

YOU progress the plot just by letting Paula's dark and thrilling narration unfold, and take root.

Incredible story, beautifully thrilling and petrifying plot and character developments, and what an ending.
