What is it about?
Everybody has a Cordova story. Cult horror director Stanislas Cordova hasn't been seen in public since 1977. To his fans he is an engima. To journalist Scott McGrath he is the enemy. To Ashley he was a father.
On a damp October night the body of young, beautiful Ashley Cordova is found in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Her suicide appears to be the latest tragedy to hit a severely cursed dynasty.
For McGrath, another death connected to the legendary director seems more than a coincidence. Driven by revenge, curiosity and a need for the truth, he finds himself pulled into a hypnotic, disorientating world, where almost everyone seems afraid.
The last time McGrath got close to exposing Cordova, he lost his marriage and his career. This time he could lost his grip on reality.
ONCE WE FACE OUR DEEPEST FEARS, WHAT LIES ON THE OTHER SIDE?

My Thoughts....
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars!
Wow, what a great story! I was intrigued through put the entire book, from the cover to the very last interactive page.
I love the cover, the font and the paper used for this book. It was like holding something delicate and special in my hands the entire time I was reading it. This book is interactive, there are pictures, websites, interviews, letters, notes and so on that make you feel like you are actually part of the case. The extras provided in the app were very interesting and fell within the idea of the book to follow things through to the end.
I loved the unpredictable story line and the different directions the story took. This was the first book that I read that left so many questions unanswered that didn't annoy me to no end. The unanswered questions, the leads that just faded away, the characters that were left surrounded in a fog of mystery were part of what made this book so great. It made me use my imagination and left me contemplating the mystery of life along with the possibilities unexplained.
Obviously, I loved it. I did orginally start reading this on my e-reader. It didn't work well on the e-reader because of all the pictures, different fonts, different font sizes and so on. So I had to buy the paper copy of the book. I recommend that anyone who is going to read this book also buy the hard copy. This is a book that you need to hold in your hands!

*There are a lot of extras with this book, even an app for your smart phone. I suggest checking them out because they add a lot to the story.*
