--Lisa Gardener, #1 New York Times bestselling author

I have a feeling that Chevy Stevens is an author who is going to keep getting better and better with each book! I hope I'm still around for the next six -- at which point she'll probably give me a heart attack. But what a great way to go out!"
--Lois Duncan, author of I Know What You Did Last Summer

“A terrifying, chilling scenario that unfolds into a nightmare and had me keeping the light on at night.”
--Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of Sister
