"A twisting tale of evil lurking behind a suburban hall door" - Sinead Crowley - Author of One Bad Turn

"This is a prime example of a superior grip lit book. From the first eerie chapter to the very last page it is quite literally unputdownable with an abundance of 'oh' moments throughout.

Honestly, a very, very superior debut." - Margaret Scott, author of The Fallout
