4.0 out of 5 stars A nicely crafted story 12 Jun 2012
By Ignite TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This story is a departure from Shaun Jeffrey's usual genre of horror but there is something horrific in this tale of a young girl groomed for sex by her dissolute mother's boyfriend, Trevor. Tina lacks self-esteem which is often the catalyst for young people falling into bad company. Her family is split; she sees little of her caring father and has an unfriendly, envious and almost aggressive relationship with her older sister. Trevor appears to be offering her love, status, material goods, all she feels her life lacks.

The skill of the writing here is that through the first person narrative we watch Tina being slowly drawn into believing that Trevor is acting from love and for her own good. She still believes this when things go sharply downhill. A short novella this, but nicely done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Day by Day 15 Jun 2012
By Joo (in UK)
Format:Kindle Edition
I've read a few of Shaun's books, from the police procedurals of Prosper Snow in The Kult to the wierd and dark worlds in books such as Dead World and Dark Seduction.

But this book is the scariest. It reads as if it's a newspaper report/interview rather than a novel story. The horror in this story is that it is the truth in many towns around the country.

I can't say I "enjoyed" it as such, but it was gripping reading and I didn't want to stop until I found out the ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrifying in it's realism. 24 Jun 2012
By Cathy Hudson
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was my first brush with Shaun Jeffrey but probably not my last. I was expecting a horror novel but found a different type of horror in this story of child abuse and paedophilia. I was gripped with emotion and shock as the tale of Tina being groomed and pimped by her mother's new boyfriend as a result of feeling neglected and unwanted by her family. The realism of the story was probably what was the most shocking part of this piece of writing. You can almost imagine this scenario taking place somewhere in the UK.
The actual story was well written with colourful, well rounded characters who the reader can familiarise themselves with very quickly. All in all, a very entertaining book with a lot of depth to it rather than your usual blood and guts horror.
