Review of 'The damned' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Pyper excels at throwing realistic characters into impossible situations, never losing focus on their humanity as his diabolical imagination forces them into circumstances that would mentally cripple most of us. At its heart, The Damned is a tale of family dynamics, of the power biological bonds hold over us, to the point that they may supersede our moral standards. You’ll read The Damned for its nerve-rattling intensity, but you’ll remember it for its understanding of humanity.
