Determined to stop the horrific deaths, Imogen is forced to act as bait – but will she get caught in her own trap?

Critics Review
-
'A deliciously dark read, Katerina Diamond keeps her readers guessing throughout as she leads us on a very secretive, VERY twisted journey…everything I was expecting from a well-written, pacy thriller.' Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me
‘A dark, twisting tale that won’t fail to captivate.’ Mint Velvet
‘This fluid tale about a girl being held hostage is relentless and uncompromisingly dark.’ Heat
‘This gem of a crime novel is packed with twists until the last page.’ Closer
‘Wow, I thought The Teacher was fantastic but this is on another level. Was gripped all the way through and kept me guessing as the story unfolded.’ Netgalley reviewer
‘Another grim and gory spider's web from Katerina Diamond – closely following on from The Teacher and not letting up on the twists and turns.' Goodreads reviewer
‘An impeccable novel with nail biting chapters… Katerina Diamond deserves the title of Queen of Crime, because I'll be damned if anyone writes novels like she does. 5* doesn't do this book justice.’ The Brunette Bookshelf

‘The suspense is literally out of this world.’ Compelling Reads
‘A dark and twisted tale that had me gasping in fear.’ Handwritten Girl
