This book was recognised by the Tayshas Reading.
"Relentless, heart-stopping suspense" * Kirkus Reviews *
"Price's pacing is tight, aided by direct, clipped prose that underscores Scotty's brutality and Angel's fragile emotional state. Both the best and worst of humanity shine through in this gripping novel" * Publishers Weekly *
"If suspense is your bag, this is a book to read" * VOYA *
"Price's fast-paced thrilling story paints a bleak and depressing picture of American 'trailer' life set against an unforgiving landscape . . . Revealing, raw and shocking but it's also moving, uplifting and totally unmissable" -- Pam Norfolk * Blackpool Gazette *
"Compulsively readable" * Books for Keeps *
