"This is a great debut and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers and crime novels that also have a strong focus on relationships."
A well written thriller, set on the coast, that follows the main character as she tries to rebuild her life. The story wasn't what I expected, and the plot twists kept me guessing until the end. This is a great debut and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys thrillers and crime novels that also have a strong focus on relationships. The story was a little darker than I'd expected, but never gratuitous, and once I'd settled into the book I found myself really enjoying the writer's style of switching between other character's points of view. I didn't expect the ending, I thought I had sussed it out but I was wrong! Looking forward to the next in the series to find out what happens next for our characters!
Jesse Stevens needs to escape her past, start a new life and feel safe.

Jesse is desperate to put aside the dark nightmares and terrible memories. As she and Doug grow closer, she wonders whether she can ever really live a normal life and be happy. But Jesse is in grave danger. Someone is watching her; trying to control and manipulate her life. Someone plans to make her life a living nightmare and return her to the hell she thought she had left behind. Will she ever be free?
Mystery and suspense sprinkled with humour and romance in the first of the Castleby Series.
