"This book is one of the few gems that you look for when you want a good read. Once you pick this book up, you simply can't put it down. I have read many thriller & horror novels, but this one is unique in so many ways! The author adds so many elements that our society is used to gobbling down - the depravity of orphanages & the atrocities in some international ones, the soul-lessness of abused children & what they sometimes grow up into, the concerns of terrorism by toxic means . . ."
