"Claustrophobic much...reading this was like having a noose around my neck and it was getting tighter except I couldn't scream or else whoever was holding the rope would pull it tighter." @LenAiono "The raw realness of the emotions portrayed right here, it's hooking..." @LaFayeJones "Four main characters are at the center of the mystery, but the reader is kept guessing as to who might actually know the truth about what happened. Each chapter ends in a cliffhanger leaving the reader begging to know more." @DennisRoyer "Great descriptions in 'difficult' scenes. I like the way you don't shy away from anything and really get into the characters' feelings" @SheilaDalton "This is so emotional. I really like it but I have to go watch some puppy videos now to calm down!" @Kibika Entered in the Open Novella Contest 2021
