Description

One wrong step and you're in deep water.

Sukie has had enough of not putting herself out there. She has had enough of her mother thinking so very little of her timid daughter. On a whim, she accepts an offer to go to a Greek island for the weekend with Jake, a man she has barely begun dating. If that isn't putting herself out here, she doesn't know what is.

Heather is at the airport when she sees a young woman with an older man - and immediately she understands that the woman is in danger. Because in fifteen years, Heather hasn't been able to forget what Jake did to her. And the next thing she knows, she's buying a plane ticket and following them.

What should have been a perfectly pleasant weekend away quickly descends into something much darker. As these two women come ever closer to each other - and to Jake - it becomes increasingly unclear who will walk away from the weekend with their life.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five

Fast paced thriller that I read in one day, it is one for taking with you on holiday and I will certainly be reading more from this author in the future

This is a great physiological thriller. One that I think many will be reading In one sitting. I found myself absolutely absorbed into the storyline, the characters were engaging and there were plenty of twist and turns to keep the reader engaged. Really well written. This certainly won't be the last book I read by this author.

Wow, I can’t even begin to describe the crazy cat and mouse game that this book was! The lives of two women and the man binding them intertwine in the most surprising of ways following a chance encounter. Highly recommended!

A beautifully written edge-of-your-seat thriller that had me guessing right until the end. Unputdownable. It is a nail-biting thriller that grips to the very last page! An atmospheric, sometimes dark, taut thriller which keeps you hooked from the first page!

Dark Manipulation…
A picture of dark manipulation in this tense suspense with a sharp edge. Sukie drops everything on a sheer whim for a weekend away to a Greek island with a man she barely knows -purely to show that she is not the timid girl everyone thinks she is. Heather is at the airport and sees a young woman with an older man. Heather knows the signs. She sees trouble. After all, she’s never forgotten what Jake did. She decides to follow them. A seemingly pleasant weekend away soon turns abjectly menacing. There’s no knowing who will walk away. With a carefully crafted cast and an immersive narrative this is a wholly compelling read.
