ABOUT THE BOOK

There's trouble in paradise. . .

For as long as she can remember, Jemma has been planning the perfect honeymoon. A fortnight's retreat to a five-star resort in the Maldives, complete with luxury villas, personal butlers and absolute privacy. It should be paradise, but it's turned into a nightmare.

Because the man Jemma married a week ago has just disappeared from the island without a trace. And now her perfect new life is vanishing just as quickly before her eyes. After everything they've been through together, how can this be happening? Is there anyone on the island who Jemma can trust? And above all - where has her husband gone?

MY REVIEW

WHAT THE HELL?!?!? This book just sucked me in, churned me around for over 400 pages, and then spat me out with an ending that left my mouth hanging open in shock and disbelief! Tina Seskis I bow down to your extraordinary writing skills that made this unbelievable story burst to life and completely take me by surprise. THE HONEYMOON is such a gripping a read that I am struggling to put into words just how exceptional this story is but I will try to get control of myself long enough to make an attempt.

Jemma has finally achieved her goal of marriage and is now on her honeymoon with the man that she agreed to spend the rest of her life with. On this beautiful paradise island that is the perfect place for love, Jemma should feel happiness and fulfilment but that is not the case. Her husband has vanished, as if into thin air, and as time ticks by, the outcome does not look favourable. But what has happened to him? Who is hiding something? And will she ever see him again? 

​THE HONEYMOON by Tina Seskis rolls out this harrowing tale in short snappy chapters and as it switches from the past to the present, we really get to know all of the main characters involved in great detail, while the frenetic pace of the drama is maintained and even heightened.

Jemma, and some of the other characters, are not always likeable and they all seem to have a darker side to their personality, but that only adds to the tension and heavy atmosphere that is hovering in the air as you turn every page. I actually felt my stomach wobble as I read this book. as each page took my mind down a different, terrifying avenue, but nothing prepared me for the ending - I love when a book really throws me for a loop!

Deeply emotional and traumatic, the reader can actually feel what is being described and for me, that really makes THE HONEYMOON by Tina Seskis stand out from the crowd. THE HONEYMOON by Tina Seskis has just topped my best books for 2017 list, and I highly recommend that you buy this novel now - you won't regret it!
