Customer Reviews

a must read, unputdownable
I originaly read this story when it first come out but decided to read it again as I really enjoyed it the first time - I have to say it is still a excellent! The story of cathy growing up on the streets and been taken under someones wing until her past comes back to haunt her is brilliant - and yet again i cried at the end - one of my fave martina cole books - up there with two women which is also excellent!

Unputdownable
I loved this book from beginning to end. It only took a weekend to read and I absolutely loved the characters, the plot, everything! The only thing I think would have completed the book would be for Denise to have made a reappearance as I would like to have known what became of her after they escape the school.

I would definately recomend to anyone who like these sort of books or would like to give them a go.

Gripping
Quite a long story with many characters, was a hard read but still really enjoyed this book. Read many Martina cole books and although they are all dark stories they are always different. I got into the characters and felt like I really knew them. Was upset to see the story end I wanted it go on forever. Great story and well interlinked between the lives of the different people.
