Review: The Honeymoon

The Honeymoon The Honeymoon by Tina Seskis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jemma is on her honeymoon. She is staying in a five star luxury resort in The Maldives which should be paradise but one evening her husband goes missing, but where has he gone? Suddenly, everyone on the island is a suspect and Jemma doesn't know how she can trust.

Initially I couldn't stand Jemma, I thought she was selfish and overbearing, and I disagreed with a decision she made at the start of the story, but as the plot unfolded, I realised that she was being used and I ended up feeling sorry for her.

The twist at the end made me gasp, as in my head I thought through every scenario except the one in the story!

The description of The Maldives was brilliant and I found myself googling holidays there!!

If you liked Girl On A Train, or Behind Closed Doors, you'll love this story.

I was provided with a free copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

A Very Irish Christmas written by Debbie Johnson

  Cassie O'Hara, a New Yorker, has been haunted by the memory of being left at the altar, and especially finds the Christmas season particularly difficult. This year, after an impulsive conversation with her friend June, she decides to escape the Big Apple and spend the holidays in a quaint village in the UK. However, upon arriving at her rental cottage, she finds not the cozy, firelit haven that she imagined, but a dilapidated, dust-covered wreck—with no welcome basket of goodies in sight! Now faced with the dilemma of either enduring the festive season or heading back home, Cassie is torn.
