I received a free copy of this book from Penguin Ireland in exchange for an honest review.

David Connolly is a college lecturer and happy married father of two. Until the two becomes three when a young student reveals to him that he's her dad. David invites Zoe into his life and his home and soon things within his family become strained and tense. Who is Zoe really? And can she be trusted?

From the get go, this had me on edge just really wanted to know what happens and how it all goes down. I feel like tension in this book was written really well and the author really carried the readers along with all the drama and the goings-on until we were just screaming for answers but also afraid of what we'd find out next. I do think as 'thrillers' go, this is a very tame one. It focuses a lot on just the domestic life of the family and how Zoe creates disharmony in it and for a little while i did just want the plot to hurry along so we could get to the end and the big reveals.

The end was slightly anti-climatic for me until I got to the very, very end and the big reveal and that was definitely a bit of a shocker! I would recommend people to read this if they are maybe starting thrillers or just want a tamer one, as that's what this is. It's well written and well constructed a definitely worth a read. Unfortunately, it just didn't wow me.
