Lori R. Lopez has created a truly terrifying story that will give you nightmares or, at the very least, have you wondering what lurks in your basement if you have one. This book showcases how good a writer Lori is. The build-up to the story was excellent. I found myself on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. I loved Lori's choice of the main character Cynthia and I enjoyed getting to know a bit of her back story; it was so simple yet effective for the plot.
