Too much foul language
Published by B L , 1 year ago
Did not like at all. Didn't like the foul language. Written in a very confusing style--jumped back & forth between Now & Before. Even tho the sections were labeled that way, I prefer stories that start & keep going without flashbacks. I only read about 1/3 of it----there are lots of better books to spend my time reading.
Couldn’t put it down

Multiple characters all intertwined with so many twists and turns. Lots of swearing, great story line!
Suspense Thriller
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 3 years ago
This is a Suspense Mystery. This is not one of those books that pulled me in from the beginning, but I did find the beginning so funny at times. The two main characters had to grow on me for a little bit before I got pulled into the storyline. I love that this mystery takes place mostly on an Island that the characters sailed to. I liked and did not liked some of the characters, but they where written to be liked that. I did not see the twisted coming, and they where really good. I have to say if you do not love sailing or Island books then you will not love this book. I think the setting may this book so great from me. The suspense builds up through out this book before the twists is revealed at the end. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
