☆ 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 ⚠️

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.
