Let me start with Oh My God! This book was insane! It was bonkers and blew my mind. It was literally something else, i had such a preconception of what this story line was going to be like but i was miles out of the ball park with this one.
Told from multiple perspectives the story unfolds, we meet Lizzie firstly - she has moved to a new area after leaving a terrible relationship, this is her new start with her son Tom. We also meet other characters along the way, Kate - The Social worker who is dedicated to doing right within her job not cutting corners. We also get to know Tom as well.
As Tom starts his new school we start to see a change in him, he is tired, and has mysterious injuirnes and even seziures. Lizzie is worried no one is listening to her - the school has bars on the windows, no one is allowed in or out and the children are all acting wriedly.
This book literally had my heart racing, i was so concerned about poor Tom, what was happening to him at that school? Why was no one able to help him? I was such a mess, and even more so as the narrative unfolded. It was not what i expected, it was dark and very twisted and down right brilliant. This is so up there as one to read! I am so greatful that i got to be on the tour for this because it meant i got to discover such a brilliant read!
