Deeply touching and so desperately true.
You'll need tissues!
This book came highly recommended, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
I had no idea what to expect, and I was still blown away.
I have literally laughed out loud, been scared, and not only cried, but sobbed, wept and bawled my eyes out.
This book is such an Incredible tale of grief, loss, life wasted, and yet ultimately hope and love.
Read it and prepare to have your heart shattered and then rebuilt in stubborn impossible love.
I snuffled and sniffled my way through the last 1/4 of this.
2 sisters who suddenly find out the other exists fight to overcome the death of their father and what his betrayal means for their futures.
It deals in love and loss, pain, betrayal, hope, dreams, family - blood, found, and true.
It's heartfelt, heartbreaking, hopeful and affirming. It's messy and complicated and stubborn and wonderful.
I'm So very pleased I read it
I am a Matthew Reilly fan so yes, I may well be a little biased here.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fast paced, some tech details to make it plausible, and a great big survival adventure set in a contained claustrophobic style environment.
Highly entertaining, different enough from his Scarecrow and Jack West novels to stand nicely on its own.
Great to have a female lead who although she has trauma has not allowed it to hamper her life.
It didn't feel as ‘at home' as some of his other novels but maybe that's because I know his ‘regular' characters and these are new ones.
Characterisation is well done. My only real complaint is that it reads so quickly!
