My Rating: 4 Stars
MY THOUGHTS:
Maeve’s reality completely changes after waking up next to her dead fiancé Robert. She was ready for a new name and a new life. But no, Robert is dead. Stabbed to death while she was right there sleeping. In a confused state of panic, Maeve flees. She ends up hundreds of miles away at a Scottish village that she had only recently learned about.
Then there is Gilly. Happily married to Callum and the mother of two children. Her job should have provided her with complete anonymity when it came to her volunteer work on a telephone hotline. However, after a series of calls, she begins to feel more and more unsafe. She has a secret. She also has a past. If those are exposed, she could lose everything. Her life. Her freedom. Her children. So, she flees.
What an exhilarating read! Is there a connection between Maeve and Gilly? This story has an amazing twist and races at a fast pace. In each case, fleeing seemed the only option, with danger lurking just beyond sight. While this book was incredibly exciting, the ending felt a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless, Rosie Walker has crafted an addictive story that readers will eagerly devour in one sitting.
Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
