TW: violent scenes 

Abigail is engaged to be married. But on her bachelorette weekend she has one final fling. She is consumed with guilt but chalks it up to being drunk and she vows not to tell her fiancé, Bruce. However, a few days before her wedding, this mysterious stranger sends her an email - she is confused as they didn’t exchange real names. She’s concerned that this man, a stalker, has followed her back to New York.

Abigail’s fiancé, Bruce, has arranged an “off grid” honeymoon on an island. No phones, no internet and very limited electricity. But then she sees him - her stalker followed her to the island.

This is a classic psychological thriller. Twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I loved the little Easter eggs throughout the book and, whilst I did guess some elements of the story, I could never have known the complete details. 

Absolutely fantastic book!
