What could possibly go wrong
Anybody who has watched a film which includes a “bunny-boiler” will know what comes next, but strangely this book hooked me. Even though I thought I knew what was coming next, most of the time, it was written in such a way that I wanted to carry on reading, and at times its scary reading.
When Jade moves in things start to go bad. At first its little things that could be put down to other people mislaying things, but she is evil and her activity starts to intensify.
Nothing is sacred, pets, kids, wife, husband. What is she after? Why is she doing what she is doing, or more to the point, how will she be stopped and will everybody survive to tell the tale.
There is a lot to like about this book, the plot, the characters, the way it’s written.
There were times when it made me cringe, in a good way. At the beginning I nearly put it down, ten pages later I was glad I didn’t.
I finished it. I enjoyed it.

Brilliant review Adam can’t wait to read the book. Sheryl does like to let her readers think they have worked out who, where & why then something happens to that person.
I did notice a mistake in your review you wrote Is nothing sacred pets, kids, wife, husband. What is he after? Looks as if your s didn’t register as think it should say What is she after?
