Product Description

Product Description

Mallory thought it would be a quick trip to the mall, one where she could get a last minute Christmas gift. Little did she know a momentary slip in judgment would result in her sister's abduction. Unable to call the police for fear her sister will be killed, Mallory has no choice but to play the awful game the sadistic kidnapper has designed for her.  Will she survive?

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good horror 28 May 2012
By seagull
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As creepy places go I think empty shopping centres are quite near the top of the list- a la empty hospitals and hotels. This story is set in a huge empty shopping centre and does not disappoint ratcheting up the tension page by page. The blurb does not hint at quite how depraved our nasty little hero is, be aware that this is definitely not for the faint of heart but for those who dare it is one night of bloody horror via mobile phones.
A nice original and easy read if you can stomach it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read 24 May 2012
By Claire
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book had me hooked from start to end. Where others have criticised the way the author focuses on the background on some of the characters, I think it just adds to the depth. Not a dull moment throughout.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pacey, demanding but needs work 11 Jan 2012
By Freya Tate
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
As serial killing psycho's go, this villain is one of the maddest I suspect. Not for the faint-hearted, the story contains various flashbacks detailing the horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of his perverse paedophile Mother. The fast paced narrative and the way the chapters are written from the main characters points of view works well.

However, the grammar and spelling are both substandard in some areas. For instance, repeated misuse of your/you're and the use of undo instead of undue, amongst other errors, indicates the author needs to do some serious proof reading and checking.

Worth a read if you are not easily shocked (or irritated by poor English)

5.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed reading 30 Jan 2012
By c anderton
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
From the first page the book grabbed me. Very fast paced which kept my interest high. The bad guy is really brutal and the way the chapters change between different characters viewpoint meant we could understand how/why they were acting as they did.

As long as you are not easily disturbed by cruel acts of torture it is worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldnt put it down! 16 April 2013
By Jessica
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really enjoyed this book & it was free so even better! The suspense in the book was great and you didnt know what was coming next. Very good read for fans of saw the "grusomeness" of the book and the playing games is a fantastic part of the storyline! Would highly recommend this book. Bit of an abruot ending although didnt ruin the book leaves you wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A disturbingly sick read. 13 Feb 2013
By dean s
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first book ive read by this author and boy was it good. This saw-like story kept me gripped from the start and did until the end. The whole concept of it taking place in a shopping centre and the female character being stalked by a mobile phone was a great idea that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the story.
I would certainly say it is a sick storyline which i liked for a change and is certainly not for the weak hearted.
The only down point id put on the book is to me it seemed a bit of a weak ending like other people have said,but overall a fantastic book. Keep them coming.

3.0 out of 5 stars too much padding 8 Feb 2012
By MacGifferbag
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
the first half of this book is amazing, i thought i was in for the best read ever. Then the second half was just padding padding padding... i skipped chapter after chapter to find nothing had happened. Its like it was a fantastic short story... turned into a long boring book. What a shame, I couldn't put it down, then i couldn't wait for it to end. SO first half, fantastic, second half drawn out, boring, predictable.

This book certainly is a gore fest, yes it is quite sick and gross and unbelievable but it's a decent read although I would have preferred a slightly different ending.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I wanted to be.
I thought it was disappointing, I was expecting something more given the reviews when I brought it. Not sure if I will re-read it.
