Reviews

[Nikita · Rating 5 out of 5]

A gripping story which keeps you on the tip of your feet all the time. A little different from suspense stories that run at a fast pace, it moves with a slow pace letting you form an understanding of every character, letting you form an image only for it to shatter by some other character.
The ending brings peace at your while lighting some new fears at the same time.

There is a discovery at every corner keeping you hooked.
