The things he fears the most are the ones inside his head.
Ten years ago, James Owens was convicted of a murder he couldn’t remember committing. Now, finally released from the mental institution where he’s served his time, he is placed under house arrest in the sprawling family home he has inherited from his father.
Living in isolation, visited only by his therapist, parole officer, and supportive but controlling twin Janet, he at least has something resembling peace. But he is still haunted by hallucinations, nightmares, and bizarre memories which may or may not be real.
Strange sounds in the house, and objects which disappear or are mysteriously damaged all add to his fear that he is sliding into uncontrolled insanity again.
But is he? Or is his fragile mental state being manipulated by someone with a sinister agenda of their own?
When tragedy strikes, James must go on a journey that will force him to confront the past – and the haunted depths of his own tortured soul.
Oh, my days! What a book! My favourite one yet by Cole! What an absolutely twisty, thrilling ride that will actually have you questioning your own sanity. Despite believing James was right I still had to question whether he was truly as crazy as we have been made to believe, or if there was something larger at play.
This book is so dark and messed up, but it’s one hell of a ride, that I won’t forget for a long while! Cole has written such an intense book of lies and deceit and it really does pull the rug out from under you. The thing is, I just knew everything I believed was true, but it takes talent to make you question and doubt what you think is real, and Cole achieves that here tenfold.
I went in blind and had no idea what I was getting involved in! I didn’t expect this!
This is by far my favourite book by Cole! His writing is getting stronger and stronger, and his manipulation in each book is something for a reader to worry about! He is truly talented at what he does!
I loved it!! Absolutely mind-bendingly loved it!!!
Until the next time xxx
