Review

What to Expect:
⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ marriage in crisis ➺ domestic suspense ➺ gaslighting ➺ blackmail ➺ drug use ➺ trafficking ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

I felt the first part of the book was VERY dragged out. Sidney was SO annoying. I could not stand her! Like ok we get it he cheated but you chose to stay with him so get over it or leave!!!!!!!!!! Ugh 🙄

However, the book got my attention at some point and I was interested. There were a few twists, but it also ended on a low note for me. So not sure how I feel about this book or how to review without saying too much. Overall, it kept me entertained but it left me very underwhelmed. Specifically with the ending.

Thanks @alisonbookreviewer for this rec. I really appreciate it! 😘

Blurb

From the international bestselling author of The Drowning Woman, a psychological thriller about a couple rocked by infidelity who moves to a villa in Spain’s Costa Brava to rebuild their relationship, only to welcome a pair of visitors who have no intention of leaving.

Sydney Lowe’s life in New York is shattered when her husband, Curtis, admits to a meaningless affair with a client. Begging for forgiveness and vowing to prove his devotion, Curtis suggests the couple retreat to a remote hilltop house in Spain to repair their marriage.

High above the Mediterranean, Sydney and Curtis are working on the isolated property and their relationship when a pair of Australian travelers turns up at their door in dire need of help. Lonely for companionship and desperate for free labor, Sydney and Curtis invite the attractive young couple to stay. But as the days pass, dark secrets come to light, the Lowes’ bond is tested, and not everyone will leave the villa alive.
