3.0

The plot of the book is 5/5. It had such great potential to be a horrifying psychological thriller. 

Unfortunately, the writing was too…. Obvious? Cheesy? The writing just didn’t land for me - it made it seem like a low budget scary movie.

BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! I have been reading the shining for about 6 months and am only half way through it so decided to pick up something fast paced to get me out of my slump. It took me 4 hours to read this book and I did not put it down once. You think you know what is going to happen be trust me, you are 100% wrong. Oh what I would do yo read it all over again for the first time.

☆ 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 ⚠️
