Deliciously addictive
Well ... how the heck am I going to review this! The description does not even come close to describing what this book is about and I can't say much without giving away any spoilers so you will just have to trust me when I say that you will either love it, hate it or just sit there scratching your head wondering what the flippin' heck just happened there!?!
I finished reading this book quite some time ago (January 2017) and even now I can remember the story, the characters and the ending ... I read a lot of books many of which I can't recall the details with as much clarity as I can this one; that's got to say something on it's own hasn't it?
This book is quite unique and like nothing I have read before. I found it deliciously addictive with the slow buildup of tension and suspense with an unbelievable ending that will have you sitting there with you mouth open either saying "wow, that was brilliant" or "wow, that was ridiculous" (whichever takes your fancy); I for one thought it was great and couldn't wait to tell people about it the next day ... and I still am months later.
Thank you to the publisher, HarperCollins UK, HarperCollins Fiction via NetGalley for the copy I received in return for an unbiased review.
