Review:

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

The first thing I wanted to mention is that I think this book wasn't marketed well. Is says that it's a romantic thriller, but it's more like a drama I think. Also the synopsis is a bit of a spoiler I think.

What I liked:
The characters
The writing

What I didn't like:
The multiple perspectives were a bit much
The story wasn't that interesting to me

Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading Fire on the island by Timothy Jay Smith. I got this book from Netgalley, so thanks to them. I'm really liking this so far. It's well written and has a good pace. Would give it 4 stars right now. 

This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. This is marketed as a thriller and it really wasn't. It's more of a drama I think. Also the synopsis gave something away that was only mentioned on like 60% of the book, which was very annoying. Therefore this book was less enjoyable. The story itself was also not very interesting and there were a bit too many character switches for me. The characters were good and fun to read about. The writing, as I said, was nice and the pace was pretty good. Overall a solid book I think, but not awesome. Therefore I gave it 3 stars.
