Synopsis – The Couple on Holiday
A luxury island. A dangerous secret. A honeymoon to die for…
I’m on a beautiful private island with my handsome new husband, Owen Turner , and my life couldn’t be more perfect. Standing on the balcony of our gorgeous villa, I gaze out at the turquoise sea and drink in the white-sand beach and palm trees. I can’t imagine anything bad could ever happen here…
I turn to clink glasses with Owen. His mysterious brown eyes and strong arms fill my heart with happiness. When we met, it was love at first sight and, after a whirlwind six-month romance, we married. I’m determined to fill our vacation with special memories of late-night swims and champagne breakfasts.
But one night Owen and I have our first argument. I yell at him for drinking too much and he accuses me of flirting with another man. I’m distraught and, the next morning, I wake up early and go for a walk along the cliff-tops to clear my head.
As I climb down the sandy steps to the lagoon, my heart hammers in my chest when I see a trail of blood spots.
At the bottom of the cliff is the body of a woman… who looks just like me.
Does someone want me dead? Can I really trust my new husband? And will I make it off this luxury island alive?
My Review
The Couple on Holiday by Mikayla Davids
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I went back and forth between the audio book and the kindle but ultimately finished The Couple on Holiday in one sitting.
Once I started reading, I was hooked and the story moved quickly and kept me engaged.
I enjoyed the story being told from multiple points of views and the audio book did this very well.
The initial mystery was a bit farfetched, to me, but entertaining, nonetheless. When you thought the story was resolved it went off in a different direction that I most certainly did not see coming. The ending was surprising.
The characters are a mixed bag with it definitely not being clear who was telling the truth or who could be trusted. The only person I liked initially was the husband.
If you are a fan of psychological thrillers, you should definitely give this fast-paced book a try. I highly recommend both the kindle and the audio versions.
Thanks to Love Book Tours for this book in exchange for my honest review.
