Good morning Bibliophiles, I hope you are all feeling wonderful today?
I am so pleased to bring you a review for a book that quite literally had my head spinning!
My Thoughts
🆂🅴🅲🆁🅴🆃🆂 🅻🅸🅴🆂 🅰🅽🅳 🆅🅸🅳🅴🅾 🆃🅰🅿🅴
Take a little piece of Pulp Fiction, add in a Dash of Memento flavoured with Fatal Attraction, and then stir in a little drop of Psycho.
Add your “Liquid Hell” to your cocktail shaker, pop in a few ice cubes and shake that sucker until your head explodes!
This is the book that makes you go “Wait…Whaaa”
The story is so cleverly written, it is just as you would be watching a murder mystery on a VHS, but you really want to get to the good parts, you stop the video, rewind, watch a little bit, decide that’s not the part that you wanted. Rewind again, nope still not it, perhaps it was further on than you thought? Maybe try fast-forwarding, nope not it, rewind it again…..
STOP…
PLAY…
PAUSE….
WHAT…IS…THAT??
Each chapter gives you a snippet, but not enough, and you just have to keep on reading!
Some truly unlikable characters in this story but what a great story it was.
Natalie is what we would now call an Influencer, she is an Instagram star.
She’s made lots of money and has used this to pay for a new house that her and her husband have moved in to.
So why would she just pick up and leave her somewhat perfect life, and book herself into some random holiday cottage in the middle of nowhere with a creepy manager?
The book starts at the end of the tape, and this tape is what someone is watching when a woman is brutally murdered while asleep in bed, someone is watching a live feed from a secret camera in the room
A murder, caught on camera, You’ve already missed the start. To get the full picture you must rewind the tape and play it through to the end, no matter how shocking…
A very clever thriller that will keep you turning the pages.
**Thank you to Atlantic Books, Netgalley and the Author for a copy of this book**
Enjoy the madness

That story-line sounds crazy, in a good way of course. Good to hear that the unlikable characters didn’t make the story any less enjoyable. Great review!

Thanks Diana,
I do love a book with an unreliable narrator / Character, it makes the book so much better.
