Virginia S. Smith –
Great read. It has a surprise (at least to me) ending. The character of Camille is well developed with a touch of anguish at her life. But the mystery of the deaths of the two girls continued to develop.
Susan M. LaPorte –
I think the cruelty of the children Hit me really hard and also the harm the mother did to the lead child. Did her treatment make Amma into what she became.
Barbara –
Riveting read. True page turner. I could not put it down. Scary, scarred, and sharp. Some things make more sense now.
