I really enjoyed this thriller! It was a quick read for me. It sucked me in from the beginning with the premise. This couple has been married for some time and discover a new… activity to enjoy together. It was giving me some Gone Girl vibes by the end. Will there be more or are we left wondering what’s next?

“‘I wanted to surprise you,’ she says. ‘For our anniversary.’

I stare at her. My lovely wife.

‘It's demented,’ I say.

She raises an eyebrow at me. Before she can speak, I put my finger against her lips.

‘And it's brilliant,’ I say.”
