" I am currently reading this book. I agree with the other reviews I've read.it's not the sort of genre I would normally read but so far it seems like one of those books you can't put down or forget about for long. I will be checking out the other books by this author. "
" Part horror novel, part adventure novel. My new favorite author. "
" Cottom has a new fan "

" Supernatural suspense. Enjoyable enough plot, if a little flowery in the writing. However, I found the inaccurate detail about the Scottish education system a bit grating - get it right or leave out the details. "
" An okay read--but without the eerie subtlety of Cottam's other books. I was less invested in the characters than I wanted to be and the conclusion seemed rushed. "
" It was an interesting story, but there were too many things left unfinished and unexplained. "
" This one seemed to be all over the place to me. I gave up in the end; disapointing after reading the 'Waiting Room' "
" I just couldn't get into it. The concept seems interesting. Maybe it's because I just finished an amazing book or maybe the writing is just not fast paced enough. "
" Just good fun read but I like magic,romance books . "
" will read more of this author as his plots are interesting and potentially scary, but this particular book although it had potential was poorly wrapped up. "
" This made good reading and I enjoyed it. Well written. Set in the modern day, and full of the supernatural and magic. Good over evil. Would read this author again. "
" Loved this on audio! Sorcery and witchcraft for adults. :) "
