This was a very sinister novel from the first chapter.
Alfie recently lost his wife Pippa, he is left with his twin girls and life has started to fall apart.
He isn't coping so calls the children's aunt Julia in for help and also a professional opinion as Sylvie abd Cassia are very troubled girls, they have told their father that Black mamba is in their room at night.
Assuming this is some childhood game or imaginary friend Alfie is reassured by Julia assuring him he is probably right.
But this is no imaginary friend, Black mamba is there for a reason, he is coming for the girls.
But can the combined forces of both Julia and Alfie thwart this evil friend's plans to take control of his daughters?
For a debut novel this was so exciting and it felt more accomplished than someone's first book, chilling and horiffying in a subtle, slow way that really gets under the reader's skin.
A great read.
