I actually didn’t remember what this was about so I was presently surprised to find out that it was a domestic thriller. The story follows Georgia who has just started dating Luke. As Luke and Georgia get closer she starts to receive these threatening messages from Luke’s ex girlfriend Cadence who he still lives with. But being a domestic thriller that’s obviously not the whole story. Told in two main parts following each of the women this had me gripped. I had multiple theories as I was reading this, one turned out to be half right but I could never have prepared myself for this sort of thing.

I enjoyed that I didn’t really know what information to trust, I enjoyed trying to work out what was really going on, how reliable Luke’s description of Cadence really is. It was an easy enjoyable, fast paced read.

This is a genre I have come to Love so it’s great when I find new authors that do it well. I will definitely be check out more by this author.
