Lovereading view...
Oh my, this is intense, shocking, and an absolute winner. Jemma is on an island in the Maldives, her husband of just one week is missing, is he alive, or has the unthinkable happened? Tina Seskis encourages an almost unbearable tension to strum across the pages. I found myself questioning everything, suspecting everyone. Jemma tells her story in the present, while the background of the last seven years is gradually revealed. Provocative, yet subtle, the balance between compassion and misgiving is kept on a razor sharp edge. I found myself completely ensnared, wanting to read faster and faster, yet not wanting the story to end. I will admit to moments of smugness, before the story slapped me quite severely, for being so sure of myself. Thrilling and entertaining ‘The Honeymoon’ is a jaw-dropping, truly fabulous read. ~ Liz Robinson

Synopsis
The Honeymoon by Tina Seskis
For as long as she can remember, Jemma has been planning the perfect honeymoon. A fortnight's retreat to a five-star resort in the Maldives, complete with luxury villas, personal butlers and absolute privacy. It should be paradise, but it's turned into a nightmare. Because the man Jemma married a week ago has just disappeared from the island without a trace. And now her perfect new life is vanishing just as quickly before her eyes. After everything they've been through together, how can this be happening? Is there anyone on the island that Jemma can trust? And above all - where has her husband gone?
