I read this book fast to get to the "twist" and I was not impressed at all. The ending is not only foreseeable, but the most common ending in thrillers. Disappointing!

Bloody hell. this book sure had me going. What a great imagination the writer has.Thank goodness Bella eventually got through a dreadful time and thank goodness Jack is where he should be. But I do worry about when he is realeased from gaol. Another book perhaps. 😉 Helen x

Extremely well written. The plot line keeps me full of fright for the heroine. For all that it is fiction, the story rings true. I am captivated and entertained.

About the author

Jacqueline Grima has been writing since she was very young, her first experience of rejection when she submitted a short story to her namesake Jackie magazine in her teens. In 2015, after deciding to take her writing more seriously, Jacqueline embarked on a Creative Writing MA at Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating with a distinction as well as the 2018 Janet Beer prize for outstanding contribution. Her work has since appeared in a variety of publications, both in print and online. Jacqueline writes in the living room of the home she shares with her three grown-up sons and an even more grown-up black Labrador called Taz. She spends a lot of time dreaming of having her own office.
