2 stars for Tideline by Penny Hancock.
The book blurb entices me to read the book. I read it and am utterly grossed out by the story; it is not my cup of tea.
For a debut novel, I will say that it is well written with the backdrop of 'creepy and disturbing' in mind. But I am not overly impressed by the messed up characters woven into the story, a woman who is not quite sane and a teenage boy whose elevator does not go all the way to the top floor.
