Thank you NetGalley. Amazon Publishing UK and Lynne Lee for the chance to read this book.  Julia is coming back from surfing when she sees a young man by her cottage. She approaches and he takes off running, falling over a cliff and seriously injuring himself.  She saves his life and what follows is a twisted tale that Julia can’t seem to grasp.  This book has wonderful characters with Julia being my favourite. She is strong and  determined and will do anything to find out the truth while protecting her daughter.  The book alternates chapters with one being a cryptic chapter about moths which is seen from the villains eyes.  Although I realized what the significance of the moths are it detracted from the story and made those chapters boring and irrelevant.  I loved the twists but it became a bit far fetched with who the villain was.  It was a good book and suspenseful but the moth chapters and the identity of the villain made it a bit disappointing.

Julia, who has just recently lost her husband David, is surfing one morning when she spots a young boy snooping outside her beach cottage. When the boy suffers a serious injury, Julia manages to get help and save him. But who is he and why was he spying on her home?

When her daughter Tash - heartbroken by her fathers' death remembers a string of strange incidents, Julia realises they are being watched. Desperate to uncover the truth, Julia wants to discover the boys' identity and who has eyes on them. 

I enjoyed this one but it took me around 70ish pages before I clicked with the story. It was well written and well-paced but it was just ok. I found the book a little tedious at times and found my attention slipping but it was worth a read.

After her husband died, Julia not only had to contend with her own grief, but also that of her daughter, Tash. After six months, the two women think they may finally be able to move on, but the arrival of a strange young man changes all that. Julia saves the boy’s life, but she’s shocked to discover her late husband’s watch among the boy’s things. Tash begins to recall odd incidents that she had not given much thought to at the time they occurred, but now seem ominous. Julia and her daughter have to uncover the truth about what really happened, even if they may regret it later.
