It's been a while since I did a book review, and since we're starting to move into holiday season, I thought I'd review another book I read earlier this year in case any of you are looking for a pool-side read!
The plot (no spoilers!) follows the story of Jenna Gray, as she runs away from her life to Wales to get away from an accident from her past that is haunting her. This is basically all I can say without ruining the fantastic twists and turns the book holds and how every chapter brings about some more jaw-dropping information, vital to unlocking Jenna's secret.
The story is amazingly well thought-out and has so many different dimensions and elements, but is written so beautifully that you never feel confused or lost. The twists and turns will make you gasp out loud and your jaw hit the floor more times than you can count on one hand!
The characters are so realistic and I felt throughout the whole book a range of different emotions for each character. They are so life-like and emotive that it is very easy to imagine yourself as part of this story.
It is also rare to find a book that uses setting so beautifully. Mackintosh's descriptions of the beautiful Welsh coast in contrast to Jenna's old life in Bristol make the scenery stand out like you're looking at a photograph instead of reading a book. It is so easy to picture the cliffs she walks her dogs along, or the sand she draws in on the beach and makes for a truly flawless book.
If you're looking for a twisty, turny, scary and eerie psychological thriller to read by the pool this year I'd definitely recommend picking this up! A Sunday Times Bestseller that absolutely will not disappoint! I hope you all enjoyed this review, if you've read this book let me know what you thought!
