by Theo Baxter
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.4 #ad
“How would I describe this box set hours of mind twisting suspense and bone chilling murders. I had read two of these books previously, but enjoyed the reread plus the other two also I’d most definitely recommend these books. ( It’s Your Turn Now) This book will blow one’s mind there was parts in this story that had me feeling like climbing the walls with nervousness. Be warned this author will be throwing curve balls left and right that will side track you from what’s real up to the end and I liked the fact I couldn’t guess what was coming next. (The Scorned Wife) You know that sensation you get while watching a scary movie and you know something bad is about to happen so you cover your face and yet you peak through your fingers well reading this story gave me that exact feeling and man oh man was it fantastic.” by Amazon Customer
