Booklist

A taut and spellbinding look at creative darkness and the price we pay when art bleeds into real life. I couldn't put this book down!

Amy Engel, author of The Roanoke Girls

An intelligent, taut thriller which was beautifully written and compelling. I loved how the author played with the whole theme of life imitating art. Full of twists and turns I couldn't put it down. I thought the ending was perfect!

Claire Douglas, Sunday Times bestselling author of Last Seen Alive

I had such a range of emotions from curiosity mingled with dread and horror as I realised what was happening. An incredibly accomplished debut.

This smart, mirror maze of a thriller bristles with sharp edges, twisting familiar Gone Girl themes into Bell's own intense creation

WI Life

So refreshing. A thriller, a page-turner, thoughtful and thought-provoking
