Critics Review

  • With plenty of twists and turns throughout, this thriller will keep you guessing. You’ll be gripped right up until the last page

    Heat Magazine's 'Read of the Week'
  • A great thriller about a situation that will be oh so familiar to many people – but taken to a very dark extreme. It’s pacy and shocking, but written with real heart too

    Phoebe Locke
  • Timely and pacy, with a devastating and totally unexpected twist, I devoured this in one sitting

    Chris Whitaker
  • The Pact should go straight to the top of your must-read list. Dark, twisty and original. I loved it
