Every Mother's Nightmare

It's urban, it's urbane--but most important, it's truly unnerving. Like Stephen King, Alfred Hitchcock, and other masters of the sophisticated nail-biter, Nancy Weber makes this New York story work not just because she writes beautifully, but because she's set it in very real life. Her grownup characters are so keenly observed they seem familiar. The kids in the cast are charming, outspoken, creepily canny. . . and vulnerable. Which is why, when something shocking happens to one of them, we really, really care.

A Cautionary Creepfest

I found this the most terrifying book since "Rosemary's Baby". Absolutely shattering! Read it, by all means, but in the safest place you know.

A Creepfest

I found this the most terrifying tale since "Rosemary's Baby". Absolutely un-put-downable. Shattering. I don't know if I recommend you read it or run from it!
