Review/Reseña en Español/English 


  Español


Que pasaría cuando una pareja recién casada decide tener su luna de miel es una isla desértica donde solo se encuentren los dos por una semana: a) se divertirán demasiado y será algo que nunca olvidaran o b) serán asechados y atormentados por un asesino. Por desgracia para ellos su hermosa luna de miel se convirtió en una pesadilla y deben enfrentar diferentes situaciones para salir con vida de esa isla.


  Personajes principales


Laura Carrington, se acaba de casar y perder a su madre, por lo que, se encuentra en una fuerte depresión, me gusto su personaje, es la única que sabe usar su cerebro pero por desgracia no es lo suficientemente fuerte para confrontar a su esposo. 

Con esto, Liam es un hombre terco y fuerte, quien solo quiere proteger a su esposa, sin embargo, no fue un personaje que me gustara, es demasiado odioso y a pesar de ser policía no parece tener un sentido de supervivencia. Dado que su único plan es contraatacar al acosador, pero por las condiciones en las que se encuentran es más que obvio que él no tiene la ventaja en esta situación. 


  Trama


Ahora, déjenme decirles porque deben leer este libro, el primer 50% fue muy bueno, no original pero si interesante, me gusto el concepto y sobretodo la tensión, la autora la supo manejar muy bien, ya que era impredecible saber que pasaría en cada momento. PERO después del 50% el plot-twist que viene es tan increíble e impredecible, sinceramente me tome unos minutos para procesarlo, fue tan bien hecho, me encantó. 

El final fue tan satisfactorio, lo ame en toda la expresión de la palabra, hace mucho que no me gustaba tanto un final como este. Para ser honesta le iba a dar 3⭐ pero el plot-twist y el cambio de la trama lo cambió todo. Definitivamente este es un libro que se debe leer una vez en la vida. 


  Pensamientos finales


No esperaba mucho de este libro pero me sorprendió por completo, me encantó, tiene una buena trama y personajes interesantes, definitivamente lo recomiendo.

What would happen when a newly married couple decides to have their honeymoon is a desert island where is only the two of them for a week: a) they will have too much fun and it will be something they will never forget or b) they will be stalked and tormented by a murderer. Unfortunately for them, their beautiful honeymoon turned into a nightmare and they must face different situations to get out of that island alive.

  Main characters  

Laura Carrington just got married and lost her mother, so she's very depressed, I liked her character, she's the only one who knows how to use her brain but unfortunately, she's not strong enough to confront her husband.

With this, Liam is a stubborn and strong man, who only wants to protect his wife, however, he wasn't a character that I liked, he's too hateful and despite being a policeman he doesn't seem to have a sense of survival. Since their only plan is to counterattack the stalker, but from the conditions they are in, it's more than obvious that he doesn't have the advantage in this situation.

 Plot 

Now, let me tell you why you should read this book, the first 50% was very good, not original but interesting, I liked the concept and above all the tension, the author knew how to handle it very well, since it was unpredictable to know what would happen in each moment. BUT after 50% the plot twist was so awesome and unpredictable, I honestly took a few minutes to process it, it was so well done, I loved it.

The ending was so satisfying, I loved it in every sense of the word, I haven't liked an ending like this so much for a long time. To be honest I was going to give it 3⭐ but the plot twist changed everything. This is definitely a book that must be read once in a lifetime.

  
    He is a devil. He knows it. And maybe that’s why he thinks an angel can save him. But a devil can’t be saved. 
  

  Final thoughts  

I wasn't expecting much from this book but I was completely surprised, I loved it, it has a good plot and interesting characters, I definitely recommend it.

  
     “This isn’t a honeymoon, it’s a bloody nightmare.”

This one kept me on the edge of my seat. Unsure what was happening or who was doing it. I was riveted. The fear was palpable and just when you think you know what's happening, you don't.
