I love this book. If you like a badass female lead, serial killer and romance thriller, read this book. The book has such a perfect amount of suspense, spice, secrets, and twists you won’t see coming. The characters are so mysterious and have secret identities. The writing is compelling. Caribbean setting is perfect. This is a mind blowing book with serial killer, steamy romance, badass female lead, suspense, secrets, poignant back story and unpredictable ending.

Thanks to the Author and Publisher

The Caribbean setting is to die for, for some people – literally.

I didn't expect to like the main character Lily, she's outwardly friendly and normal but with her unfortunate habit of being a serial killer, you don't want to get too friendly. For the fifth year running, Lily has taken a month away from her own business to return to a Caribbean Island working as a lowly paid lifeguard at a 5-star wellness hotel. While there, if she doesn't like someone, guest or employee, Lily becomes judge, jury and executioner. It's a bit of a harsh reaction to disliking someone.

An interesting plot with nail-biting occasions when Lily was almost caught. The latter part of the book explained Lily's history and offered a clever twist at the end.

A murder, mystery romance I found compulsive reading.

With thanks to Penguin Random House UK and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book, this review is my personal, unbiased opinion.

This book is the perfect summer thriller with a sizzling romance at its core. The pacing of the story is perfectly done, with just the right balance of suspense and passion. Lily’s internal struggle is both relatable and thrilling, and the twists will keep you on the edge of your seat. The romance is steamy and electric, but it’s the darker themes and the tension between Lily’s desires and her need to remain undetected that make this a truly addictive read. If you love a good “thromance” (thriller + romance), with a badass female lead and a hero who’s got his own secrets, this book is a must-read.

This book was such an amazing read. The characters were so clever and intelligent I was on the edge of my seat and there were twists that I didn’t see coming but loved. I want to start again and erase the memory of reading it from my brain just to read it for the first time again.

I’m so grateful to have gotten advance copy of this book. I cannot wait for this book to be published and everyone else to experience what a ride this was.

This book immediately sucked me in until I hit the last page around 3am - I wanted to unravel Lily's brain and figure her out. Luckily Sienna Sharpe makes us work for it. We're drip fed details in the most tantalising way.
Our main character is complex, and the backstory on why she's become this way is done so beautifully. The way in which the story reveals itself was executed skilfully. I genuinely thought this was an entertaining and fun read. The suspense and twists and turns had me guessing until the last pages which is a quality I really treasure in a book.
I most definitely recommend it!

Thank you so much to Random House UK for the arc via NetGalley, and for giving my the opportunity to share my honest thoughts on the book.

Loved lily’s character and found this a quick immersive read. Mind-bendingly dark and deep, you know it's not for the faint hearted from page one. Intricate plotting, devious twists and excellent characterisation take this tale to a whole new level.
