Chilling and thrilling!

I've just finished this book and had to come and review it straight away! I adored this book. I loved the way that each and every character was so deeply explored. I loved the theme of fate vs choice. I loved the ending and the way that no stone was left unturned! I was worried whilst reading it, that I would be left with lots of unanswered questions. I was not disappointed!

The only fault here, is that once you pick it up, you can't put it down! It can be very difficult to keep up with all the twists and turns of this manic novel if you plan on reading it over a long course of time. But it's easy enough to skip back and remind yourself of what's been going on.

Overall, one of the best books I have ever read, and would recommend to anyone who loves a crime thriller!!

In this quick but engaging read, we are transported to the highlands of the South Island of New Zealand; a beautiful but remote backdrop to this thrilling tale of the hunter unwittingly becoming the hunted.

Once again, I am not disappointed by the writings of Lance and James Morcan; they know how to pull you in and keep you there until the end. I was however disappointed that it wasn't a bit longer ... no sooner had the action began, than it ended which was a shame as I really feel more could have been made of the terrain and the cat and mouse games between the hunter and the hunted. However, it is what it is and it's still a great thriller with interesting and believable characters.

I would recommend anyone read Lance and James' books particularly The Orphan Trilogy which is for lovers of action, espionage, conspiracy theories or just people who enjoy a flippin’ good read ... you won't be disappointed.
