This is a debut novel? You have got to be kidding me right!
Grippingly Twisty. Well Well Well, I really do not know where the hell to start with this. So firstly Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture and K.L. Slater for allowing me an ARC of this book. Freakin Awesome it is. I finished this book yesterday but long after finishing I kept thinking about it, and thinking what I would do, what I could have done. It really managed to get in my head this one. I think it's because all the way through you have questions you want answering. But these questions are only answered bit by bit as the story progresses. The book kicks off with Anna witnessing and accident. Anna is a pretty quite person who likes to keep herself to herself. (A bit like me) Get's on with her job and doesn't really socialise with others. I guess you could say she's a bit of a loner. It was 13 years ago when something happened in Anna's life that changed everything for her, and everything about her. She pop's in when she can on the old lady next door, Ivy. Who does seem to try and keep an eye on her having known her for many many years. Ivy notices things are slowly changing for Anna and is concerned for her. The accident Anna witnesses brings back many things probably best forgotten from her past. Liam has been knocked off his bike by a lady who Anna seems to recognise right away. And Anna needs to find out more about this woman Carla, where and what she has been doing for the last 13 years. After all this is the woman who changed Anna's life forever and ruined it all for her. Holding Liam's hand after the accident Anna realises that the one way of getting to know What Carla has been doing is by becoming Liam's friend... Cue the madness... It doesn't take long for this to become one serious obsession, one that can only end badly but for who? What I feel I really need to say about this book is that you need to start it on a day when you have nothing else to do, because believe me you will not want to put this down once you start it. An exceptional story for a debut, that's for sure. And I really do look forward to reading more in the future from this author.
