Ed is delighted to meet his twenty-three year old daughter's fiancé for the first time. Ryan appears to be the perfect future son-in-law. There's just one problem. There's something off about Ryan. Something hidden in the shadows behind his eyes. And it seems that only Ed can see it.
Terrified that his daughter is being drawn in by a psychopath, Ed sets out to uncover her fiancé's dark past - while keeping his own concealed. But no-one believes him. And the more he digs, the more he alienates her and the rest of the family who are convinced that Ryan is 'the one'.
Ed knows different. For reasons of his own, he knows a monster when he sees one...

MY REVIEW
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this novel. I had only read one other book by this author before (Lies - and thoroughly enjoyed that also) was wishing for great things. As I always hope with thrillers, this kept me at the edge of my seat all the way through.
What I loved the most about this story was the suspense. This is what kept me at the edge of my seat. Who is Ryan? Is he bad or good? What would Ed do to find out? Just some of many questions I had at the start. You also have the apparent downward spiral that Ed goes down in his pursuit of the 'truth'.
If I had to grumble about anything (and its only a very little grumble) I felt that the book felt a bit long for the thriller. At 431, I would consider that a larger thriller that works well if there is complex scenarios and areas where you need to pay more attention to, but this story I feel could have been cut down to at least 350 and it would still be excellent.
Would highly recommend! Can't wait to read more from this author!
