Book Rating

I loved this novel, it caught my eye in a bookshop in Cyprus and I really understand now why they say you don't choose a good book - it chooses you.

I think many of us can see a little part of ourselves in Emma Morley, especially those of us who have ever experienced unrequited love and intense friendships.

The chapters are cleverly organised year on year for twenty years which shows how people, and relationships change and evolve. This is a wonderfully written novel which made me laugh, and cry in parts. My only criticism is the ending is rather weak.

The search for a missing daughter unfolds before our eyes on a computer screen, pulling together clues and information from social media and messaging services. While there have been a couple of decent horror movies recently employing this method of storytelling, none of them have been as effective as this. Edge of seat, intense drama with a few twists and turns towards the end. This may have gripped me a lot more than it normally would, as I have a daughter in her early teens, just starting to build an online life of her own, but wow this movie was amazing!

I didn't think things could get any better after the first book but I have to say that this one is even better than the first one, I was very happily surprised I must say. It was more intense, it was more gruesome and the character development was just brilliant. I love the developing relationship between the two main characters, their relationship is very realistic and troublesome which keeps things very interesting. I am very much looking forward to the next one in the series as I think (after reading this one) it's going to get even better! 5 stars from me!
