This book was a really good read so many twists and turns keeps you intrigued to what's going to happen next . A must read .
Don’t get me wrong, I love to watch the downfall of the rich, but this story was not very compelling. The two main characters’ main reason for being on the yacht was to take down the owner, but they did nothing to get revenge. They just stood there and listened the entire time. It was more of they were at the right place at the right time to watch his downfall. They played no part at all. Everything was given to them and they didn’t solve of any of the mystery. It was just revealed to them over time. Also, the main issue was about Bitcoin and honestly it was weird to read about cryptocurrency.
As always, you just can not help but enjoy an Evie Hunter book. This latest read is filled with entertaining characters and a storyline that pulled me in and kept me captivated the whole way through.If you like an entertaining book with humour and twists, this is one you just can't miss. It would make a perfect holiday read.
Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC
The takedown - I warmed to the characters in this book and it had some interesting twists. I never lost interest and it was a case of 'just one more chapter' every night. With some good humour and plenty of action added to the mix you certainly couldn't go wrong adding this to your reading list.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.
The Takedown by Evie Hunter was a solid revenge thriller, following Freya, who has a very large axe to grind with the owner of the mega yacht she’s working on, Julian. With a need for revenge and no plan to back it up, we follow Freya as she gets to know Julian and his weak points better with a little help and sets out to destroy him.
This was an easy thriller to read and had some good twists to keep me hooked. I couldn’t fully click with this one, but all the elements needed were there. I think Freya’s need for revenge needed a bit more authenticity for me, but her plotting and finding some allies, as well as the story and the outcome with Julian, were all highly satisfying. If you like thrillers I highly recommend it, but if you’re in the mood for more punitive revenge, set your expectations!
I loved this book. The author is amazing. I loved every bit of this story.
Would recommend it to others
I didn't read this book, I devoured every word. Every steamy moment, every heartbreaking moments, every breathtaking ones too. Plot and characters sucks me in their world, I wanted to stay with them and never come back to my reality.
A very good book, I enjoy all of her books and this one is no different, a good storyline and packed with excitement
