Synopsis
"Ignorance is bliss...until there’s blood involved."
Drenched in blood and sitting in the sweltering interview room of a Thai police station, Kayla Finch knows that Sam, the love of her life, is dead. It doesn’t matter that there’s no body.All that blood can only mean one thing.
It isn’t the first time Kayla’s had blood on her hands. After finding her brother dead by his own hand, she tried to outrun her grief by escaping to Thailand. Heart-broken, the last thing she expected was to find love on the smoggy streets of Bangkok. But everyone Kayla loves seems to wind up dead.
Returning home to England, Kayla is left with a barely-functioning family, a string of gruesome nightmares and the niggling feeling that nothing is as it seems. And as she confronts her brother’s suicide, she starts to suspect that something is very wrong.
Three months. Two tragedies. One connection: there’s more to both cases than anyone is willing to admit. And Kayla’s determined to uncover the truth ...no matter what the cost.

My Reveiw
This book was very well written as far as the story and the
characters. However for me it was too
slow. I just couldn’t seem to get into
to it. The story is about a girl named
Kayla whose brother committed suicide and she decides to go on a trip to Thailand
to avoid dealing with her brother’s death.
While on the trip she falls for a boy named Sam who is in the same group
as her. Then Sam disappears, they don’t
know if he left on his own or if he was taken.
There may be some drug involvement.
The book begins with Kayla coming home after Sam’s disappearance. Then continues
alternating between what Kayla is currently going through with the death of her
brother and Sam’s disappearance and when she first arrived in Thailand. For me it was frustrating and not that easy
to get into either of the stories. It
was almost like two books in one. I don’t
mind a flash back or two but for me the constant alternating stopping me from
getting into the book. The end really
surprised me and was great. I never
would have guessed who was behind everything in a million years. I would try another book by Laura to see if
this was her writing style overall or just for this book. The book was not bad and neither was the
story or characters. I just didn’t like
the constant back and forth in the story.
I did feel for Kayla and what was happening to her during the book. Sam and the others were great also. Sam and Kayla had a bunch of almosts and
obviously have feeling for each other.
The characters were great and made you feel for them. Again I think I would have enjoyed the book
more if it was written differently. I liked
the story line just not the back and forth.
