This was an alright thriller. I was actually scared in parts of the book. It kept my attention most of the time, I read it in a few days. 

I knew that Liam/Ethan was somehow involved from pretty early on but I couldn’t pick how and was still surprised by the twist. I have two big issues. Firstly most of the story is told by Laura’s POV. She gave no indication to how she was really feeling even in her inner dialogue. I feel there could have been a bit more of her authentic thoughts without giving anything away. Secondly why was Liam’s reactions so mild on the island? He would beat her for no reason at home but when he’s on a secluded island he wouldn’t touch her when he would get frustrated with her? I understand that would have given the end away easier but it didn’t make sense.

Apart from the above I didn’t mind it.
