Myla has been having a bad year, coming into possession of a creepy painting is just the tip of the iceberg. I enjoyed the brevity of Bowyer&#8217;s prose, which keeps the pacing of the story quick. The characters are well defined and Bowyer managed to get me to absolutely hate some characters in a short amount of pages. While the story was mildly predictable, it had an ending that I found extremely satisfying.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was like there were no other <strong>voices<\/strong> in the world anymore.
