☆ BOOK REVIEW ☆
  WOW! What can I say? This book definitely took me on a journey. It's taken the "Best read of the year" spot. A can't put down, psychological thriller!!
  When Grace meets the handsome gentleman Jack, who has it all, looks, wealth, achievement, manners and respectability, she thinks that life has finally given her all that she has ever dreamed of..... But behind closed doors, Jack is worse than her worst nightmare. 
  This book definitely gives you shivers down your spine!! Highly recommend this book! 
  ⚠️ PLZ NOTE THERE ARE THINGS IN THIS STORY THAT COULD BE VERY TRIGGERING ⚠️

2.75

Overall a quick and easy read. The main character was insufferable. The very last pages pushed it to a 2.75 instead of the initial 2.5 rating I wanted to give. 
The plot and dynamics of the story is quite good. I really didn't like any of the characters as I found most of the cartoonish at times. 
Would not read again nor recommend. 
Perfect read for a beach holiday if you want something light and quick but that still gets your heart racing a bit.

I don't know if "enjoyed" is the correct word for my reading experience but I couldn't put it down. The suspense is real.

I posted my full review on Medium: http://tiny.cc/ghjuyz (there are many spoilers in the full post)

TLDR: 

• very entertaining and kept my interest
• somewhat predictable twists
• I would recommend, especially to psychological thriller fans
