My first book by this author. I was enthralled. Definitely some Stephen King influence. The story was thrilling and well paced. I never got bored. I loved the characters and their back stories.

“Amari swung around in her seat to look back and there was indeed a small girl sitting on the boundary wall. She didn’t seem to be looking at the car that had just passed but up ahead. Amari turned around to see what she was looking at and she saw it, up ahead, the farm house that she could only assume was their new home.”
