Summary

A gripping new crime novel from the global bestseller Cathy Glass writing as Lisa Stone

The Darkness Within hooked me from the start. Once you start you won't be able to stop!’ Katerina Diamond, No.1 bestselling author of The Teacher

You know your son better than anyone. Don’t you?

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 the worldwide bestseller Cathy Glass.

Really thrilling read

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The excellent story telling was expected from Cathy Glass.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I didnt like the narrator, she put me off of the book. Her constant switch between her own voice and the voices of the characters was slightly annoying, and all the men seemed angry so it was hard to tell them apart.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

No

A good yarn but patchy narration

A good story line covering an unusual topic. Narration was a distraction for me. Some really weird voices, particularly males, when characters introduced but fortunately not consistently applied throughout.

Too swearing

Personally I don't like bad language and whilst I was intrigued by the story the bad language was too much for me to continue listening

A bit farfetched

A bit of a farfetched and at times unbelievable story. I wasn't too keen on the narrator
