He looks just like her husband. But who is he really? And what is he planning to do with her?
Emmeline Hopkins-Keller is in paradise, sharing a luxurious holiday on a tropical island with her husband Jeffrey and his family. But it’s hard to relax and enjoy it when she knows her marriage is in deep trouble.
One fateful night, a cataclysmic argument between Emmeline and Jeffrey sends him fleeing into the deep, dark forest. A day later he is still missing, leaving everyone shocked and bewildered.
Then, a miracle. Jeffrey turns up unharmed and wants to reconcile. But something is horribly wrong. He looks and sounds like Jeffrey, but Emmeline is 100% sure he's not the man she married. Even if everyone in his family is welcoming this stranger with open arms.
Which leaves her wondering, who exactly is this imposter? And how can he deceive everyone around him? And most of all – what are his plans for Emmeline?
Struggling to believe that everyone around her is lying, Emmeline begins to doubt herself, to lose her grip on reality. Only one thing is certain – when she finally uncovers the terrifying truth, her life will be changed forever.
Jeez!! What a messed up book! I have read a few by this author but this book had me HATING Emmeline and turning the pages so fast to find out what the heck was going on.
Only one of my questions didn’t get answered which I really want answering, but the rest were and they were not the answers I was expecting.
I think the only character I liked, was Jeffrey and that’s I can say about it!
I knew this book would be dark but I was not expecting this!! It was so messed up! No one was likable and Emmaline was just awful and that is being very polite. She was a disgusting human being but she was addictive to read despite being so goddamn whiny!!
Despite my utter disgust for her, it was probably my favourite book by the author. That ending was a complete smackdown and I loved it. What a shocker, and it’s perfect!!
I read this book without reading the blurb and it made for an adventure and a half! I have so much I want to say but it’s hard to discuss it without ruining anything.
All you need to know is it’s dark, twisted, messed up, and addictive!
Until the next time xxx
