"See, I knew we could get along." 
 I rest the cup back on the saucer with matching painted flowers. 
 He speaks like a friend. That's the worst part. 
 He smiles at me as though he's any other guest at my eighteenth birthday party. 
 As though we're not having tea amongst corpses. 
 As though the ground's not littered with bodies. 
 As though on the other side of the table, my father's not bound and gagged. 
 And this is just the prologue of this book. 
 Sarah has been kidnapped during the party of her 18th birthday. A party that has ended up in a bloodbath. 
 Now three years after, she is still a prisoner in an isolated island. A prisoner of the notorious Julius King. A man that knows exactly what she likes and he provides everything before she asks. 
 Everything except her freedom. 
 For the first half of the book, Sarah is trying to convince herself and the readers that Julius is a really bad man. And that she is not attracted to him. That she is repulsed every time he touches her and that she only stays there in order to save the most important person in her life. 
 Julius is only taking what Sarah is giving him. He does not ask for more. 
 Sarah thinks that Julius is just playing with her. 
 Julius is absolutely sure that Sarah is playing with him in order to convince him to free her. 
 Lots of mind games are going on. 
 For the second half of the book, Sarah will take a trip down memory lane. Huge surprises for her and for the readers. Facts from the past will be revealed. Can she really handle the truth? 
 The story is mainly said by Sarah, but there are a few passages with Julius point of view that mostly were confusing me than making me understand. 
 The time frame is three years and the events that happened at Sarah's birthday party are often described - although they will make sense only towards the end of the book. 
 I have to admit that I have changed my mind several times about what Julian hides and what he wants. 
 I know that I have just read an awesome book, when I start reading it again the second I have finished it - I don't even wait an hour- and I start searching for clues that I did not notice before. 
 If you love stories with the Irish mob, gun dealers, abduction, Stockholm syndrome, isolation in tropical islands, pirates, twists and turns; this book is for you. 
 Personally, I think this is the best book of 2017 that I have read during these first four months of the year. 
 Ok, the only clue I can give you is that nobody cheats in this book. 
 And that Julius always speaks the truth :) 
 Highly recommended!
