I found this book really gripping from the start. Didn't predict the ending at all was so many wee twists and turns that grabbed your attention and made you want to keep reading.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers!
Would give this book 4.5 out of 5

Frankie Turner grew up on her own, in the foster care system, with no real guidance to live by. She meets Martin Jarvis at 17 and believes it is love. But quickly Frankie realizes that Martin isn't quite who she believed him to be, and we follow her on the path of destruction that follows after one fateful night at a party. We also follow grown up Frankie, who is unhappily married to Alex, and hiding secrets that are very close to be exposed by some unknown threat.

There is a lot going on in this story, almost too much, which takes away from how awesome the story could actually be. All of the characters are unlikable and frustrating. This was not my favorite story, but others seem to like it a lot, so I'd say give it go still.

A good read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Hera Books for giving me an advanced copy of this psychological thriller.

Frankie Turner had a rough start to life...growing up in care, fighting with other girls in school, drugs. But when she met older Martin Jarvis she thought she had found her soul mate and the key to her future. What follows leads to Frankie's worst nightmare and 15 years later that nightmare resurfaces.

It's been a long time since characters in a book have made me think out them when I wasn't actually reading but Elena Wilkes has a way of writing that makes you connect with them. The flow was nicely paced with very little dragging sections and definitely followed through with the promised plot twists. While I didn't really agree with some of the decisions Frankie made and why she made them didn't always make sense, I guess as with real life you don't know what you would do unless you were in that situation.

The ending came as a COMPLETE surprise leaving me with my jaw hanging and that also has not happened in a long time.

I received this book courtesy of Netgalley and Hera publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastically twisty and a fast paced compelling read. Just as you think you have an understanding of what’s going on then the goalposts change again. The surprises keep on coming and your loyalties keep changing.
Fascinating characters with hazy pasts and plenty of secrets to unearth, bit by bit. Definitely one to recommend, I almost want to read it again from the start now that I know what I know. I certainly didn’t guess any part of the ending.

Fast paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page. I completely identified with the main character and was rooting for her the entire time. This is such a well told story.
