Publisher's summary

A gripping new crime novel from global best seller Cathy Glass, writing as Lisa Stone.

No one is born evil...are they?

A lorry crashes on a dark, wet road. In the wake of the tragedy, a dying man receives another chance at life - but does he really deserve it? And if he lives, will those around him wish he hadn't?

When critically ill Jacob Wilson has a heart transplant, his behaviour becomes very strange. His worried parents and girlfriend try their best to understand his sudden mood swings, but as things worsen, they begin to live in terror of what they might find in their son's bedroom next - and as Jacob's personality morphs, so, too, do the lives of those around him....

This is a spellbinding crime novel with a dark heart from worldwide best seller Cathy Glass.

Unusual plot but...

The plot is unusual and interesting. There is a lot of repetition of the characters' thoughts and it can drag on at times. You think "This has been said so many times before, move on..." Also a lot of foul language, the F bomb happens too many times. Overall it's a good story but repetitive...

The darkness within!

I enjoyed this book, It might have been a little far fetched and a little predictable but it was good. Loved the narrator, She did an excellent job. It was hard to put this book down, I had listened to it almost in one day.

Predictable

I thought the first half of the book was good, but then things seemed repetitive. It was predictable, so there weren't those plot twists one wasn't expecting. I really wanted to love it, because Lisa Stone is the same author as Cathy Glass. Cathy Glass books are amazing stories about her as a foster carer. I would have never guessed that the same author would write books from 2 very separate genres.
