A gripping and delusional psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout! The author pulls you into his dark web and submerses the reader in a combination of paranoia, conspiracies and spiraling out of control delusions which create an intense thrill and keep the anticipation high throughout the book. As with his other books, various characters are mentioned again although you don’t need to have read any previous books to enjoy this one. There is just something special about the way Victor Peter writes that draws the reader in and keeps me coming back for more and I simply can’t get enough of his books! The writing is superb and immersive and the pages fly by. The characters are multi-dimensional and I just never seem to be able to guess who the bad ones are! A 5 star read and I highly recommend this book to my fellow thriller readers! You won’t be disappointed!
