A whirlwind romance comes to a pretty sudden halt when you meet the ‘in-Laws’ doesn’t it?
I have enjoyed this trope before so when I came across this book and read the description, I was very interested. I loved the storyline as well as the outcome of this book, it left me, the reader, just as confused and paranoid as Dana! I love psychological thrillers like these that are a puzzle to work out and I’ll be honest, I didn’t see it coming.
For me I think what let the book down somewhat was the likeability of the characters. I didn’t find myself warming to any of the main characters and I think this hindered the book. I wasn’t very emotionally invested in what was happening with Dana and also thought the romance between Dana and Sam wasn’t fully realised.
Aside from this I think it was a good read if you’re looking for a short, thrilling book. I would definitely be inclined to read more of Karen King’s works in the future.
3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
