Turnabout is fair play
Alex is in a relationship with Sheena. Then Alex decides to leave Stina for Ella. Money is the root of the plot and there goes a very exciting plot. At first do you think that Alex is the one who is escaping to get all the money but the plot twists and turns and you find what is real is not. trigger warning there is sexual situations and violence in the book. I recommend this book for those readers who like thrillers with a complicated ending.

A superb book which holds you in its grip from start to the (unexpected) finish. More twists and turns than an olympic bobsleigh track and with a fast-paced dialogue that keeps you turning the pages. A few poetic licences such as how the heroine can travel across continents without a passport but these don't spoil the enjoyment.

Surprisingly good
If there was ever a book that I would have loved to be a series, this was it. I didn't want it to end and hope that this turns in to a series sometime soon. Terrific book!

I almost decided in the beginning of this book that I wasn't going to continue. However, I did. Sigh. It did end up getting better with some twists and turns, especially the ending!

Hard to enjoy a book when everyone's a baddy.
