The blurb:
"Ignorance is bliss…until
there's blood involved."
Drenched in blood and sitting in
the sweltering interview room of a Thai police station, Kayla Finch knows that
Sam, the love of her life, is dead. It doesn't matter that there's no body. All
that blood can mean only one thing.
It isn't the first time Kayla's had
blood on her hands. After finding her brother dead by his own hand, she tried
to outrun her grief by escaping to Thailand. Heartbroken, the last thing she
expected was to find love on the smoggy streets of Bangkok. But everyone Kayla
loves seems to wind up dead.
Returning home to England, Kayla is
left with a barely-functioning family, a string of gruesome nightmares, and the
niggling feeling that nothing is as it seems. And as she confronts her
brother's suicide, she starts to suspect that something is very wrong.
Three months. Two tragedies. One
connection: there's more to both cases than anyone is willing to admit. And
Kayla's determined to uncover the truth…no matter what the cost.
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the author and the publisher
in exchange for an honest review*
Run Away is Laura's debut nivel and I couldn't be mor excited about
that! She's become a great friend in Twitter and I've heard so many things
about the book, it just sounds like an amazing book and it really was.
The story follows Kayla, a 20 years old girl, who's been traveling
Asia with her new best friends. Well, when the stiry stars Kayla is in a real
dark olace and the scene is auite dramatic, shocking and sad. She finds her
friend Sam's room in Thailand drenched in blood... Then we are taken to the
present day, where she gets back still shocked. She is greated by her parents,
but the situation at home isn't better. We then learn that a few months ago,
Kayla's younger brother Gabe died. That poor girl, going through so much in
just a few months, she finally gets help and starts dealing wuth everything.
The chapters change between present day and her travels in Thailand.
We get to know her friends and learn more about Gabe's death. Sam becomes a
clise friend to her and she developps feelings for him, but it's not easy...
Misunderstandings and other things seem to come in between. I lived reading
about how their relationship developped, I really enjoyed their scenes and
moments and I liked that Kayla eventually opened up to him. I couldn't believe
that he was just gone now, because I really felt that they had so ething
special, poor Kayla...
At home she is determined to find out why her brother killed himself
and she also can't believe everything that is investigated in Sam's case. She
talks to different people fighting to find out the truth and let me just tell you
it's very surprising and shocking, but that's the great thing about this book!
There is a great mystery surrounding the story and the writing captures it
perfectly. I felt so close to Kayla and her feelings and emitions were
described in such a delicate and wonderful way. The characters were well lined
out and I liked that the chapters switched from persent day to Kayla's travels.
The end of the chaoetrs were always at a point, where I wanted to read on, so I
just kept on reading, because I couldn't wait to find out what hapoened next.
This is a touching, emotional, and wonderful novel talking about
difficult topics. The plot is deep, surprising and full of rich details ( from
the places, over the characters to their feelings) The writing is gripping, spellbinding,
tozching, captuvating and just marvellous. Such a winderful debut!!! Laura,
you're a vers talented young lady, can't wait to read more of your stories!!!!
