Ratings and reviews

The Cove is the first book in The Devil's Cove Trilogy and is a real page-turner. This spine-chilling serial killer story kept me on the edge of my seat as it watched it unfold. The book is well written and will keep you wondering who is terrorizing this small town. I cannot wait to read the next book in this trilogy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The Cove is scenic but for Carrie it's a heartbreaking experience to live there. Her son disappeared seven years ago and now there's another child missing. Suddenly, her son resurfaces and Carrie has to deal with his strange animalistic behaviour and his suspected connection to the missing kid. Her discovery of where her child has been and what he has turned into gave me the chills. I enjoyed reading this gripping psychological thriller.

This story was truly something unexpected. It was very well written and kept me wanting more. A really great story.👌👌
