The blurb:
There's trouble in paradise. . .
For as long as she can remember, Jemma has been
planning the perfect honeymoon. A fortnight's retreat to a five-star resort in
the Maldives, complete with luxury villas, personal butlers and absolute
privacy. It should be paradise, but it's turned into a nightmare.
Because the man Jemma married a week ago has
just disappeared from the island without a trace. And now her perfect new life
is vanishing just as quickly before her eyes. After everything they've been
through together, how can this be happening? Is there anyone on the island who
Jemma can trust? And above all - where has her husband gone?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in exchange for an
honest review*
Why haven’t I read a Tina Seskis book before?!
Seriously though, I’m in love with her writing style. I usually don’t really
that many physiological thrillers, but it’s a nice change in between. It’s
absolutely electric and I enjoyed every single second of this book!!!
The book follows Jemma, who is on her honeymoon with
her husband Jamie in the Maldives. They are in a luxury resort, but Jemma is
not happy! Did she do the right thing in marrying Jamie?! However, everything
changes when Jamie goes missing! What happened to him?! Has he drowned? Or just
left? Jemma tries to remember the night before, but it’s hard. The police
eventually get involved and Jemma is a mess, understandably of course!
The chapters alternate between “NOW” and the past. We
find out, how Jemma met Jamie, that she dated his brother Dan first and what
happened between them. This adds a lot of interesting and at times confusing
facts to the story. Only in the end the whole picture can be put together,
which is great, because there was always a mystery. Of course there is this
other mystery of what happened to Jamie.
You keep guessing until the end of what actually
happened. A lot of characters are involved and suspected, but there is always a
surprise in between and the storyline is full of twists and turns. All the
characters play a vital role in this story and they were all very well lined
out, which is impressive and brilliantly done! All the characters are unique
and have their story to tell. They have secrets too and it’s very interesting
to see the connection between them.
I was hooked to this story from the start! It’s tense,
full of drama, intrigues, lies and secrets. It’s def the best thriller I have
ever read, very unpredictable and with a shocker of an ending! I really want to
read more about Jemma now, how life is for her a few years later.
I was literally at the edge of my seat after every
chapter and just wanted to find out what really happened. At times I wasn’t
even sure, whether we are going to find out what really happened to Jamie.
A brilliant book, cleverly written and JUST WOW!!!!!
