Written in three parts, we meet Stevie in part one. His cousin and best (only) friend, Jude, has gone missing and he will do anything to try and find him. What will he do when no one else will give him the time of day, including his own family? How can he get them to understand that Jude is out there somewhere and he's afraid it might have something to do with the scary house they stumble upon every once in a while? Or is he just imaging things since he has episodes of seeing things that aren't really there? I really fell in love with Stevie and my heart went out to him and his quest. Because then Jude comes home and there's something just not quite right about him and only Stevie seems to know it.

Part 2, we meet Rosie - an introverted woman who has basically been told all her life she's not good enough. She recluses herself with her husband as they try for a child. Tragedy occurs and she meets Ras, who asks what she would do for the one thing that she wants. Anything. And anything, she does. What wouldn't a mother do for her child? How far would she go? How much can she take?

Part 3 brings the two storylines together ... the devil sure does creep in and everyone is affected. In reading the first two parts I started to wonder how in the world they would mesh but mesh they DID. And so seamlessly. The author builds the world in such a way that you're enthralled, creeped out completely but you just can't look away! I felt for Stevie, I felt for Jude, I felt for their families, I felt for Rosie, I even felt for her child, Otto.

Ania has done it again - don't hesitate - if you like creepy well written horror, pre-order this book NOW! Seriously, what are you doing? STOP reading this and go get on it! You won't be disappointed.
