Advantages: Entertaining with a good twist to the end Disadvantages: None really
...their opinion were better and Hybrid was one of those so I took the plunge.
When I got the book I was a bit worried about the cover as if I had seen this on a bookshelf I would have assumed it was a horror story and left it well alone however the reviewer and the blurb on the back suggested something different so I switched all the lights on in the house (just incase) and started to read.

...plane/beach/at the villa/etcetera. I spotted Hell To Pay in a rack of paperbacks. I decided to give it a go. What did I have to lose? It's free to borrow from the library, so if it's rubbish; c'est la vie.

The story as with all of Hutson's books are amazing and the end of every chapter leaves you NEEDING to read the rest. I just could not put this book down and read it within a week ...
Advantages: not to long and drawn out Disadvantages: none i loved it

This man I talk about in unfortunately not my husband, he is the next best thing. Shaun Hutson writer extraodinaire!! From the title to the last quote in the book I felt under a spell.
