review 1: Despite being tagged as a 'psychological thriller' I feel like this title does so in the mildest possible sense. Personally, I found it quite mediocre and had higher expectations from a Bafta judge. The pacing is short and sweet, it's a very easy title to read and you can dip back into it without having to re-read any of the smaller former chapters. It's by no means the worst thing I've read by any stretch, it's just a bit 'meh'. It was evident early on how the story was going to play out but I was intrigued by the contrast of voices and hoped there'd be more heart-strings to be plucked and throats choked with suspense but the writing of "ice queen" Heja was linear and robotic and ultimately an unsatisfying foil to the clucking gentle idiocy of half-English, half-Portugues... moree and oh-so-'passionate' Kathy. I can well imagine this being a popular holiday read, but if you're looking for a meaty drama to set your nerves on edge and your brain racing, I'd recommend leaving this one aside.
review 2: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and I am so glad I did because I loved it. First off the cover is amazing and the quality was really impressive, I wish more authors paid more attention the quality more often. The story line kept me turning pages and I really went through a bunch of different emotions. I wish it ended differently but I still loved this book and would definitely recommend everyone to read this amazing story. less
