I’m on a blog tour on behalf of Rachel’s Random Resources today. Thanks to both Rachel and Boldwood Books for my gifted ebook to write my honest review.
Her heart is thumping now, only just distinguishable from the roar of the water and the wind. This is not safe. She is not safe…
She realises then, only one of them is coming back out alive.
She’s the person I want to be. Sorcha Hannon, survivor of a devastating affair. She’s found the healing and hope I desperately need to find for myself.
And now that Sorcha and I are friends, I am no longer alone. Instead of days hiding away from the world, I have someone to talk to. I feel as if I finally belong.
There’s just one small catch. Sorcha Hannon isn’t just a new friend to me, and she certainly isn’t a stranger. In fact, I know the ins and outs of her life, and her marriage, almost as well as she does. But if she finds out who I really am, I’ll lose everything. Then again, as Sorcha says, no one’s life is really as perfect as it seems… and I should have realised, I’m not the only one with secrets.
I am a sucker for a psychological thriller, and Claire Allan had me dying to read this. From the colourful cover to the blurb, I was so eager to read this that I jumped on it as soon as it was on my Kindle.
This is such a slow burn psychological thriller
The author builds the tension and atmosphere so expertly. I was guessing right up to the conclusion. The characters are very well created. Fully developed with flaws, too. I always love a character that feels real and isn’t too perfect.
Told from two womens perspectives, Sorcha and Christine. This is a thriller that deals with friendship and everything around that. I found Christine so relatable with her worries. The fact i never guessed the twist made it a great read as well.
I will be adding this author to my go-to list without a doubt. Well written, and it definitely kept me on my toes!
