\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605\u00a0“I loved this book. Action-horror at its best. Ricks doesn’t great job of setting the scene in the first few chapters and then takes takes us on a wild, winding and unexpected ride with twists and unexpected events that keep you guessing what direction the story will go next. The ending is satisfying and wraps up the story perfectly. It’s only January but I know this will be in contention for my top reads of the year.”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Joe Scipione, author of\u00a0<\/span>The Gods Among Them<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605 \u2605 \u2605 \u2605\u00a0“This was an action-packed, suspenseful, and blood-soaked read. The fast pace and heart-pounding search for the killer had me on the edge of my seat and was equaled only by my fear of what would happen once he was found. This is a book that straddles the line between horror and action thriller while fitting snugly into both categories.”<\/span><\/em>\u2014Well Worth A Read<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
