First off I wanted to thank NetGalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review

Abigail has just married her husband - the good guy millionaire who adores her. She’s on a luxurious honeymoon, ready to start this new chapter of her life. But when her one night stand from her bachelorette party shows up to the island, the perfect honeymoon begins to unravel.

I want to start off by saying I really, really wanted to love this book. I’ve heard so many great things about Peter Swanson’s books and I mean that COVER (swipe for a peek).

Starting with the positives - the book was fast paced and the environment building was perfect. I felt the ominous aesthetic and danger set in from the very beginning. The building of suspense was artfully done.

Unfortunately, I didn’t love this book. about halfway through I had a pretty good idea of where the plot was going, but somehow the execution was even more ridiculous and far fetched than what I envisioned. the stakes evaporated for me because a) I didn’t like any of the characters... at all. especially the main character and b) my suspension of disbelief didn’t really stretch far enough for me to feel tension.

The writing was great, and I can see with a different story line how I would really enjoy Peter Swanson’s works. The theme of the book was an attempt at a feminist thriller that in premise, was great, I just couldn’t get behind the end result. however, I will definitely give his books another go!

2.5 stars. A fun read
