Our main
character is fifteen-year-old Alison Shaw.
Some may consider her an ugly duckling, but she is not one to wear designer
clothing and sit in front of a mirror for hours applying a ton of makeup.
Beauty
becomes very noticeable and common when her mother, Risa, marries Conrad Dun, a
plastic surgeon, and is forced to move to Bel Air, where everyone is undergoing
plastic surgery.
Conrad Dun has big plans for Alison Shaw and he is carefully planning his moves. Mistakes are not acceptable and there will be consequences.
Soon,
Alison and Risa discover dark secrets and motivates that could put them both in
danger.

If you’re
a fan of John Saul, you know how gruesome his novels can be. I’ve read quite a few of John Saul’s books so
this wouldn’t be my favorite. There may have been a few parts in the book that
were a little predictable, but it was all written well. I also liked his characters; very believable
and I could envision them and the scenes they were in.
Who
wouldn’t love to read a tale which was filled with suspense of a killer ripping
out its victim’s organs and saving them for something remarkable?
After all
the darkness throughout the book, the epilogue breaks away from all that, and
it’s actually refreshing. ;-)
