Mike never expected to be in this situation.
He never expected the endless torment that plagued his days and invaded his dreams.
Moving back to his childhood home within a sleepy Shropshire village, Mike hopes to rebuild his shattered life.
However, shadowy figures lie in wait, watching, waiting to see him burn.
Has he forgotten what secrets the past still holds?
He cannot run forever
This is a powerful and brave book and one everyone needs to read. Just wow!!
I was thinking about this book when I wasn’t reading it. I wanted to get back to Mike and his story. How he was coping, and what the heck was going to happen next.
At first, I felt for Alina, at first… it didn’t last long. I’ve not felt so much anger, revulsion and upset caused by one character as her. It’s just shocking, absolutely shocking.
I stayed up until the witching hour to read this as I couldn’t let it go. I wanted to see the depths one character would go, the depravity, it just wouldn’t hit home, I was aching for the story to change. Although, how could it, we knew the outcome already. The entire book you are on a knife-edge, as you are sucked into Mike’s life, but on the other hand, you know nothing is going to last.
I’ve not read anything by Phil before but have a few of his books, so I had no idea what to expect. This was such a powerhouse of a book, tackling some huge and relevant topics, all handled with care. Nothing was gratuitous. Just wish that none of it had happened. Urgh!!
The writing captured me from the beginning and I was completely absorbed by the story and the words in front of me. Nothing was getting in my way! Just blown away by everything.
Until next time xxx
