This book was okay, but soooooooooooo predictable. About 30 pages in (if not less), you know exactly how the story is going to unfold and how it will end.

A fast read that keeps one turning the pages! The writer is good at this, I hope she writes many more. It's great to have a nice cozy thriller to curl up with after you've read too many brain busters.
I sure sympathize with poor Ivy going through this terrible nightmare while expecting her first baby at any moment. Kinda gives an extra edge to the scariness.

Ivy steeled herself and pushed open the door. A sour, almost rancid smell greeted her. Taking shallow breaths, she stepped into the dark kitchen. Shades were pulled in the windows, and the house was silent and cold. Empty countertops and closed cabinets greeted her, Through a half open doorway, she caught a glimpse of a back bedroom. She fought the impulse to run, to get the hell out of there as fast as she could.

Kind of creepy--fairly good thriller.

YUMMY! Great page-turner about an obsessed sicko who wreaks havoc on the lives of a suburban couple. The plot is expertly woven with surprises and twists in every chapter. Typically, no matter how I fight it, my mind is constantly at work trying to guess the outcome. Usually, I manage to guess it and it really ruins the book for me. BUT, that didn't work this time and made the book so much more enjoyable! Sure, there are your usual dumb things that the protagonist does, but really only one or two in this little jewel.

Take this on a flight home - you'll be glad you did!
