Stunning!
The language is a bit formal, but it fits with the story. I love the way the story is set up, with letters, journals, and discussions. Sinister and chilling, and it's told in a way that brings the readers right into the story. "There is something strange at play within me. I have tried to control it but it will not yield. There appears to be a sort of disconnect, between the feelings I harness now, toward the life I lived before." The line that tells the entire story seems to be written in a few short sentences. It allows insight into the characters, not just Nicholas, David, Elizabeth, or Julia, but the connection between all of them. Filled with twists and unpredictable paths for the characters, the ending will surely surprise the reader. Absolutely stunning. A definite chiller!
