Sometimes your first love won’t let you go…
When Lou Wandsworth ran away to France with her teacher Mike Hughes, she thought he was the love of her life. But Mike wasn’t what he seemed and he left her life in pieces.
Now 32, Lou discovers that he is involved with teenager Chloe Meadows. Determined to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself, she returns home to confront him for the damage he’s caused.
But Mike is a predator of the worst kind, and as Lou tries to bring him to justice, it’s clear that she could once again become his prey…
The million copy Sunday Times bestseller returns with a gripping psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.

The writing apart from the era was strong and the characters and setup intriguing. I just don't really think the whole thing hung together quite right. The motivations of the characters seemed all over the shop except for young Chloe who was actually very believable until the last chapters.
The story seems to basically finish with 30 minutes still left to go at which point you just have the same exposition told by two characters.
The final chapter seems to shift a certain character too far from being believable.
CL Taylor is a good writer, but this is not her best work by a long way.
A lot was good, and the some not so good.

None of the characters were that likeable and the plot stretched my belief system, as did the bionic men and women who bounced back from violent injuries and deprivation.
I did admire the writing skill though, often in thrillers the plot can drag but this one? Wow. James Bond would look like a slouch next to our heroine.
I was fascinated to get back to the story although the ending was predictable.
It was a good way to spend a Sunday and the gritty subject matter, the grooming of teenage girls, was well executed.
The narrator did a great job too, and feel compelled to seek out other C L Taylor novels now.
Complex plot, suspend your belief... but it romps along

I read the synopsis and thought hmmm sounds interesting and definitely worth a read. I’m so pleased I did!! The book handled a sensitive topic with delicacy but never wavered from the haunting truth of how manipulating and conniving men like Mike can be.
Within the first chapter I was engrossed. It was easy to listen too and constantly left me wanting more.
Needless to say I will be indulging in some more of C L Taylor’s books.
