You guys, I think @danielhurstbooks and I are best friends. His books are insane and you should read them, then come talk to me about it. Also, I got my floors scrubbed. 🤣 #theholidayhome #danielhurst #didwejustbecomebestfriends #yup #thrillerrecommendations #thrillerauthor #katyapproved https://www.instagram.com/p/Coiv7OKPSWU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you’re on a lookout for a thrilling and mysterious read, look no further than Lucy Clarke’s The Castaways. Set across two different timelines, this novel follows two sisters, Lori and Erin. They have a close relationship following their mum’s untimely death and were due to take a trip together to Fiji for a luxury holiday. ⁣ ⁣ However after an argument the previous night, Lori ends up boarding the plane alone. The plane disappears without a trace and two years later, Erin is still trying to figure out what happened to her sister. The story switches between timelines and ever so gradually the mystery behind both the plane disappearance and why Erin didn’t board the plane is unravelled. ⁣ ⁣ If you haven’t read this book yet, prepare yourself for one of the most tense and shocking flight scenes that I’ve ever read - certainly not a book to start in the air if you’re scared of flying! 😅 I also appreciated the tenacity and determination of Erin in trying to figure out exactly what happened to her sister, she refused to give in and wouldn’t rest till she had all the answers, even if she put herself in danger during the process. ⁣ ⁣ I also loved the scenes that were written from Lori’s point of view. Like her sister, there was a dogged determination and so much fight for survival, no matter the cost. The descriptions of what she went through are raw, compelling and definitely made me turn the pages and find out what was going on. ⁣ ⁣ As expected with a novel like this, it’s probably easier if you can suspend your disbelief and just roll with the story and enjoy it for what it is - a great thriller. I had some issues with how things ended that I simply don’t want to spoil but it did effect how I regarded the book overall. Saying that, it was a really enjoyable buddy read with my sister @chrissireads and I look forward to reading more from this author! ⁣ ⁣ 3.5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 💫 ⁣ #bookstagram #scottishbookstagrammer #bookreview #thecastaways #lucyclarke #buddyreadswithmysister #readingwithmysister #thrillerrecommendation #bookssetonislands #readingonmykindle #grippingnovels #dontreadonaplane #memorablenovels https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSWqborTUE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
