Summary

Becky and Jamie are an ordinary hard-working couple trapped in the daily grind, dreaming of an easier life. On one of their rare vacations, they meet Phil and Mel, a wealthy couple who seem to have it all—they're fun, well-traveled, and very generous with their money. 

But they are also very, very dangerous. 

Phil and Mel are not who they say they are, and this is no random vacation friendship. They have chosen Jamie and Becky carefully, seducing them with the promise of a lifestyle just like theirs. 

By the time Jamie and Becky realize what their new friends really want, it’s too late: they’ve lost everything, and now their hopes and dreams lie shattered. 

The only question now is how far will they go to get even?

Decent enough

Quite an interesting story but some very stilted narration in parts which started to grate before the end

Absolutely BRILLIANT!🤗👏🏽

Thoroughly enjoyed this. I was hooked by every word🤗 all the narrators were OUTSTANDING!💯👏🏽 Daniel has such an amazing talent as an author and really brings you in that you can imagine every scene, and the way he describes what the characters are feeling is just brilliant! He takes time to add enough small thoughts and details so you actually can imagine every conversation and every scene. I even had image’s of the restaurant’s in my head😊so a MASSIVE well done for another AMAZING book Daniel💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i have read a few of your books now and i have LOVED them! Keep them coming 🤗🥰 i have another book of your’s that i will go on to next i think🤗💃🏻 if you like the sound of this book, then definitely go ahead and get it…. Im sure you will really enjoy it too!💯💯💯 thank you Daniel for ANOTHER amazing book👏🏽👏🏽😊 and thank you to all narrator’s, you were all OUTSTANDING!💯 thank you audible for another BRILLIANT book!🤗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️ xxxx

Disappointing

Disappointing after listening to The Doctors Wife. The story was very predictable and the narators were very stilted.

Eh

It seems like this was written by a very new author. The book was okay. It kept me interested. Wasn’t the best book ever but it wasn’t the best. I wanted it to end.
