  "A Stranger on the Beach" by Silversolara (see profile) 07/24/19

Stranger Danger has never been a more appropriate term than for the situation Caroline found herself in.

Caroline found out about stranger danger when she talked to Aidan, the stranger on the beach always staring at her house.

Caroline’s life was falling apart in more ways than one, but getting cozy with Aidan definitely added to what was happening in her life. She made more of a mess of her life or did she?

STRANGER ON THE BEACH will have you rapidly turning the pages and also have you wondering who is telling the truth. One character relays the events one way and the other relays it another way.

The twisty, turny events along with the twisted stories each character tells keeps you guessing and will keep the interest high.

You don’t know who is lying and who is telling the truth. You won’t even know what events are true and what are not.

If you like to be in suspense and like to be surprised about what the characters will do and how they will react, STRANGER ON THE BEACH will be a good read for you.

An excellent, wild ride indeed and one you do NOT want to miss reading. 5/5

This book given to me as an ARC by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

 
  "Well crafted but predictable" by [email protected] (see profile) 08/12/19

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of A Stranger on the Beach in exchange for an honest review.

I was very excited to receive this ARC as I have read all of Michele Campbell's previous books. This one grabs you from the start, but soon you start to think that something is not right. The story is told from 2 perspectives - Caroline's and Aidan's. Caroline is a wealthy woman who is stunningly beautiful, and is having marital troubles. She notices Aidan, 15 years her junior on the beach in front of her new home. She picks him up and they have a one-night stand. Then, she tries to push Aidan away, but he is enthralled with Caroline. Everything goes south.
This is a well crafted thriller, but since I read so many, I was pretty sure what was going to happen, and I was right. Since it was so predictable for me, I can only give it 3 stars.
