I now know why the book blurb is rather scant in detail, its because its extremely hard to explain without giving anything away!

Even the style, which is reminiscent to some great late 80s psychological thrillers, and even naming them would be too big of a hint as to where this book leads you. And lead you it most certainly does, it leads you on a one hell of a journey all set to the backdrop of paradise.

What should be a trip of a lifetime turns out to be unforgettable in many, many ways, just not for the reasons intended. A remote, private island, only the two of them on the entire island, white sandy beaches, crystal clear blue ocean and on top of that, a marriage proposal and a business deal of a lifetime, projecting them from being reasonable comfortable money wise to insanely rich. Cora and Jonathan have it all, but their perfect life, their perfect holiday of a lifetime is about to change, only this time is not from anything good.

Paradise becomes a living nightmare as the pair discover they are not as alone on the island as they thought.

The book starts off fairly slowly with not a great deal of action apart form scene setting in the first half of the book, to the point I was close to giving up, but by god am I glad I didn’t! Perseverance and patience are paramount because what happens in the second half of the book thunders along at breakneck speed, leaving barely time to breath.

Just when you think you know what is going to happen, the plot gets turned on its head. Again!

A great read that has it all, stunning locations, love to hate characters, plot twists a plenty all bound together in a handsome looking cover!
