Emily creates a sense of urgency as you accompany her on her day's journey. You can feel her desperation and would like to join her in drowning her sorrows. Scott has already shown his creep factor as he watches his employees scuttle through his work-world. Wondering what could drive such a self-contained man to self-mutilation makes me want to continue reading. Waiting could be painful.
The cover evokes respite from the tension of the first chapters, giving a peek at the lure Scott will use to draw Emily into his game.
