Publisher Description
It's been thirty years since the terrifying abduction of twin sisters Rebecca and Molly Underhill by a deranged man. Fearful of retribution against their family, the girls kept the incident secret.
Rebecca, alone since Molly died of cancer, suddenly begins getting strange and anonymous text messages—the first with just her name. Is Molly trying to communicate with her?
And it couldn't be their attacker from so many years ago. Surely, he'd still be in jail or dead by now—wouldn't he?
But things get stranger. Rebecca's art student Francis, an autistic savant, gives her a series of paintings he’s done. Rebecca, with increasing dread, realizes the sequence of scenes depicted in the paintings match the nightmares she’s had every night since the horrific ordeal three decades earlier.
Unnerved, Rebecca spills the whole frightening account of the abduction to her ex-husband and friend, Michael, who, dismayed by the story, vows to help sort out the mysterious texts and disturbing series of paintings.
What happens next is a frightening rollercoaster ride that builds up to a soul-shattering climax that will leave the listener checking the locks on their doors and windows . . .

"I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely a story that I did not want to put down. Not knowing the story of what happened to Molly and Rebecca until almost the end of the book kept me wondering what had really happened to them. And of course I imagined the worst, as the author wanted me to. I still wanted to hear about it and wasn't disappointed even though it was not what I expected. I was really drawn into this story and the characters. I cried with them and screamed with them. The only downside was the editing of the book. I had to look and make sure whether it was self-published or had a publishing company (it was a publishing company). I cannot believe that a publishing company could allow so many mistakes in a book. I am pretty sure they should have been able to figure out whether the name of the villain was Whelan or Whalen and keep it the same throughout the book. Maybe they need a few new editors or proofreaders. But don't let that deter you from reading this book. It was a great read."

" For me this book would be a 31/2 star. "

" Very good book, very captive and keeps the pace going. Don't try reading this book before going to sleep because it is a page turner and will keep you up! My kind of book. This is the first time I have read from this author but will try some of his other books. "

" Great Book! Full review HERE "

" Vincent Zandri is just one of those men who has the capacity of taking the English language and manipulating it into a tongue that is mesmorizing. He creates characters, stories and worlds that simply speak for themselves. Having read Zandri's other books I'm pretty confident that this was an accidental romantic suspense book. However, it only adds to the beauty of his novel. Read it for yourself. You will not be disappointed. Authors Honor. "

" I enjoyed this book from the beginning. "

" 2.5-3 stars. It was creepy and suspense filled but I never felt empathy for the characters and as a result, the book fell a bit flat. It reminded me of Deadly Little Secret series by Laurie Faria Stolarz. "

" I read this book in two sittings! Definitely kept my full attention. "

" I normally read sci fi/fantasy but i wanted a break. Once I started this suspense thriller I could not put it down. I read the entire thing in one night, stayed up way too late but that's what a great book does! Fantastic novel! "

" Somehting told me this book was going to be one I shouldn't read at night and/or alone. I saved it for a morning read and was not disappointed. Very real, strong characters with an excellent story flow. Loved it! "

" This was a great book! I love suspense and this book had plenty of it. I almost read this book in one sitting and would have, but I needed to get some sleep so I could be bright and chipper for work. Thank you Vincent Zandri for a wonderful, amazing, suspenseful story. "

" This is the first book I read by Vincent Zandri. This book started off good but than it got very dry, slow & boring. So honestly I stopped at chapter 4. I am happy it was free because I dont think its worth buying. "
— Dorel, 2/11/2013 -
" This book had it all, and I couldn't put it down. Franny is a great character, loved him. I read until 3am, to finish this book. Then end will having your cheering then crying. You need to read this book. "
— Laura, 11/28/2012 -
" Seriously bad writing. At times I thought it must have been one of his first writing assignments in college. Boring descriptions, and awful terror scenes left me feeling flat. Can't believe I made it to the end. "
