Unfortunately, this novel was not for me. I’m fully convinced that objectively, it is well-written and some parts of the plot are actually very interesting. But I hated the way the main character is constantly talked to like she was a four year-old. The other characters treated the main character in a way that was snobbish and smugly. I prefer when the dynamics between the characters are a little bit more balanced. It definitely makes the novel different from most books I’ve read, but I did not necessarily enjoy reading it. I have quickly guessed the plot twist but I truly liked it.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for a honest review.

A good read, dark and twisty with good characters which kept me involved in the storyline from the very first page.

Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC which I can thoroughly recommend.

This was a great dark twisty thriller which had me gripped from start to finish. It was a heart pounding read which had me on edge of my seat throughout. Highly recommend thanks to netgallery and the publisher for my advanced copy.

I have enjoyed all the books I have read by Danielle Ramsay, especially this one as the dark atmosphere pulled me in immediately and kept me hooked.

This story is seriously dark and twisty! Imagine waking up in a remote Scottish castle with precisely zero in the form of episodic memory - your very name eludes you....A woman proclaiming to be your housekeeper greets you with an unappetising breakfast and a handful of pills - allegedly to treat your migraines. You discover you are married and have spend 40+ days recuperating - though from what, you have no idea. You feel you are a prisoner in the castle but when your room is left unlocked, you are unable to stop yourself exploring - only to find a secret room that reveals your husband has a previous wife that mysteriously disappeared.....

This book was slower in pace than my preferred read, but honestly I was too intrigued to put it down! If dark, twisty and somewhat dystopian are your bag this is 100% the read for you!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

This thriller is like stepping into someone else's nightmare – you're right there, living it with them. Even though I called the plot twist pretty early, I still had a blast reading it. It's like you're in Mrs. Langdon's head, feeling every bit of her living, breathing nightmare.

The book has this dark and moody vibe, with an atmosphere so sharp it practically glues you to the pages. And let me tell you, the ending is a total game-changer! I raced through it in almost one go, and surprisingly, I didn't see that awesome ending coming. A solid read, and definitely one I'd recommend, especially if you're into dark and mysterious thrillers.

This was an average read. Parts were slow and boring. The characters were somewhat inconsistent. It isn’t memorable at all.

This book is like watching and living through someone else’s nightmare.
Mrs Langdon is that person living through a truly horrific nightmare. One she cannot seem to wake up from because every time she wakes up the nightmare, fear, the unknown begins all over again.
Locked inside her all white, spartan bedroom by a husband she doesn’t remember and his housekeeper, Mrs Taylor, who she doesn’t know, in a place she doesn’t know, every morning is terrifying for her.
With her breakfast comes a little white paper cup of pills. Her medication for her extremely debilitating migraines she has been suffering from.
These are what is causing her memory loss and confusion. That is why there is a whiteboard on the wall next to the bed telling her who she is, who her husband is, where she is and how long she has been there and why.
Her husband Laird James Buchanan Langdon has taken his wife to his ancestral home Dunstrafne Castle in the Scottish countryside in the hopes that some peace and quite, away from the hustle and bustle of London will help his wife to recover more quickly.
The whiteboard says she has been at the castle for 46 days, but can a migraine really wipe your memory of that many days? How many more days or weeks are missing from her memory?
Why doesn’t she have any memories at all? Is it something to do with the pills she is being given? But why? Why would her husband and housekeeper what to keep her drugged in her bedroom?
As doubts begin to crowed Mrs Langdon’s mind she starts to suspect her husband of wanting to kill her. To rid himself of her, just like he did his first wife.
But when you are imprisoned in a remote castle with all doors and windows locked, how will she escape the fate of the first wife?
Although I guessed the plot twist really early on I still really enjoyed reading the book.
It was like being inside of Mrs Langdon’s mind as we are privy to what she is thinking and feeling and those feelings are a living, breathing nightmare.
The book is dark and hauntingly broody with a razor sharp atmosphere that sucks you in and keeps you glued to the page.
I will definitely be reading Danielle Ramsay’s next book!

Wow! What an ending!
I loved this dark, mysterious and atmospheric thriller.
I raced through it in almost one sitting and actually didn’t guess the fabulous ending.
A great read and it is one that I’d definitely recommend.

So tense so chilling a book of control of domestic violence.Danielle Ramsey has written another edge of your seat thriller that kept me reading late into the night.#netgalley #boldwoodbooks

The premise of this was good but it didn’t quite deliver. In parts it was dark and intriguing, but others it was hard going. The narrative needs tightening up to ensure it’s fast paced.

Mrs Langdon wakes up and has no idea where she is. She feels her husband and the housekeeper are lying to her, drugging her, and keeping her prisoner. But why? What can’t she remember? This one fell flat for me compared to Danielle’s previous books. Felt like it was just spinning most of the book with no story. Skip to the end to see what happens. Couple things at the end I didn’t see but not on par with the previous two books.

I loved her previous two books, but this was nowhere close to those two. I felt like the first 75% of this book was just fluff and not interesting. You really only need to read the first chapter or two and then you can skip to the back to see the ending. Disappointed. I was very excited to read this.
