Bloody hell. This is SO good... Phrases like 'heart-pounding' and 'jaw-dropping' are so overused but that's exactly what happened to me and then I couldn't get to sleep because I was so hyped up... She's a clever one, that Holly.
*Deborah O' Connor on DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES*

I loved Don't Close Your Eyes. It's a really sensitive and gripping exploration of childhood issues looming large into adulthood, with a corker of a denouement. I loved it.
*Gillian McAllister on DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES*

A razor-sharp, fast-paced plot and wonderfully complex characters. Not since The Girl on the Train have I been so captivated by a work of suspense.
