This was a unique and thrilling read that I really enjoyed and smashed through in just two days. I highly recommend it 😊
I found parts of the story quite sad. Especially Aaron’s story, an out of control child who my heart went out to because of the circumstances he was in. This is a book about domestic abuse and a bitter custody battle where unfortunately the child is used as a pawn between the two families. His grandmother and father are selfish, abusive people who I detested greatly.
As the story unfolds between two timelines, which are ten years apart, I became completely absorbed with Robyn and her involvement with the two families and found the book unputdownable. It was hard to know who I should believe and the whole time, my heart broke for the little boy. I also found the main character Robyn likeable and her living arrangements fascinating. Living on a secluded island. How very cool is that?! What a place to heal after the ordeal she went through ten years prior. The other characters visiting the island were also wonderfully developed and I really respected them also. This book is really well done!
Overall, this is a fab thriller that is unsettling and intriguing. I enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down. Thank you Text Publishing for a copy of this entertaining read 😊
