Really scary. Sounds too tough for me. Nice review though.

Sounds a little bit like a female Sweeney Todd - gruesome but fascinating!

Interesting story, a girl who is not normal, is difficult to her to act compassionately with others and she only feels comfortable murdering somebody. i want to continue reading this book. Great review :techie-studyinggray:

Love your review! This book sounds super weird, but I'm willing to give it a try since I like thrillers. Plus, it's almost Halloween!

Wow this one is too much for me! A character who enjoys murder and sells beauty products made from her victims' remains is way beyond my scope of interest.

I like Sophia's mind pattern; the mind is a tricky thing, a slight deviation could prove to be quite something, and this book gives a good mystery horror story about it-I like this review.

The sample gave me goosebumps. I live for thrillers, but I'll never look at soap the same way again.

Thanks for a scary review, Anki_Real_Reviews! It's in tune with the season. Boo!

I don't like these kind of books. They're totally unreal and they sent bad ideas to the readers.

What Lies Within by Clare de Lune is really a terrific story with tons of suspense, expertly interwoven plot threads, and interesting characters.

Serial killer Sophia Varga runs a highly successful cosmetics company: one that utilizes human remains as a main ingredient. As her relationship with her accomplice deteriorates, Sophia seeks to break free from his control and find a replacement partner-in-crime.

She may have found someone too perfect: the object of her obsession is confident in his methods, but Sophia risks becoming his next victim. Despite the warning signs, she believes she has found her twin flame.

As Sophia struggles to deal with her growing attraction to her new potential accomplice, police discover an underwater graveyard. With the pressure mounting, Sophia loses sight of a neurotic female stalker, a young photographer named Ti.

But Ti's obsessive ways lead her into a downward spiral when she discovers that Sophia and her ex-accomplice are her long-lost sister and father. After a violent run-in with Sophia's new accomplice.

Clare de Lune came up with an enthralling psychological thriller which makes the book difficult to let down once started, every chapter being more intriguing that the previous one.I rate it 4 out 4 stars.
