'Spooky and compelling - a great debut'

Peter James

'A chilling modern ghost story for an age where we are so haunted by debt that only the supernatural offers a way out. A perfect book to read as the nights get darker. Magical and frightening, I loved it.'
Carmen Marcus

'The writing is superbly vivid and tense. A brilliant, riveting tale and an absorbing journey through modern life, with its stress and debt, into crime and punishment, and, ultimately, into a battle for a woman's soul.'
Andrew Clover

'Monica Cafferky delivers a page-turner that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. Filled with suspense and chilling moments, The Winter's Sleep sprinkles elements of surrealism inside this exciting debut novel. '
Machel Schull

Wow, just wow, what an excellent, well written book. It has everything and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. The format made it easy to read but I couldn’t put it down! What I find hard to believe is this is the author’s first book, I can’t wait for the next.

I loved this book, fast-paced and riveting. The concept worked, and as someone in the mind-body-spirit world, it did not disappoint. It has been a while since a book grabbed me in this way and I read it through in just four days from it landing in my post box. Keep writing Monica, I’m a fan.

I really enjoyed this book - I loved that it is based in real places and the characters seem very real. It is fast paced and kept me wanting more. I read it in 2 days which is fairly unusual for me as it usually takes me weeks to read a book.
