Summary from eBooks by Sainsbury's who also provided the book for review
When an intriguing novel appears on Catherine’s bedside table, she curls up in bed and begins to read.
But as she turns the pages she is sickened to realize the story will reveal her darkest secret.
A secret she thought no one else knew…
Nayu's thoughts
I
was hooked by the concept that Catherine discovered that her initially
undisclosed past was written in a story – must be a horrible past
if she wanted it kept secret. Let's just say it isn't all as it
seems, and it is more horrifying than I could imagine. I can struggle
with multiple viewpoints because I read when 'I'm tired so keeping
who's who straight can be a bit disconcerting, however the antagonist
gave me the creeps. I don't feel too sorry for them. Until the full
truth was revealed I wasn't all that sorry for Catherine, I thought she
deserved it. I can't say I agree with her choices, but I can see why
she felt they were the best ones at the time. I was happily surprised
by the end, as I didn't think life would change for her.
I think the major plot revelation freaked me out a bit, as it's just so awful, which stops me from giving this book full marks, but I totally recommend it as a chilling thriller which will keep you guessing and wondering until the final page. Very clearly written!
