'Witty, twisty and featuring my favourite antiheroine in a long time.' -- Alex Marwood, author of The Wicked Girls 'An excellent, engrossing tale with a satisfyingly serpentine plot with a killer twist.' (on Dark Room) -- Irish Independent 'Gripping and twisty ... Blake's strength lies in her ability to combine tough and memorable characters with a deliciously complex and fast-moving plot that never wanes.' (on Keep Your Eyes on Me) -- The Sunday Independent
