I am a huge fan of James Herbert's and I'm pleased to say that this book delivers all of the spine tingling moments and suspense I have become accustomed to, reading his works. The characters are likeable and the story is strong. My only criticism would be that the ending was completely unexpected and didn't really satisfy me. It felt a little rushed and didn't explain all the parts of he story I wanted explaining. I will never stop reading Herbert's books though and this will still remain a favourite in my

Love this book, read it many times. However .... my Google copy has no speech punctuation which makes it tricky to read properly, I keep having to back track as a speech ends and there is nothing to indicate that! 5* book but only giving it 3* because of this issue.
