Every Vow You Break: A Novel

Description

"Hitchcockian chills and thrills abound in Swanson's latest mystery, a twisty tale of survival and deception. " - O, the Oprah Magazine

A bride's dream honeymoon becomes a nightmare when a man with whom she's had a regrettable one-night stand shows up in this electrifying psychological thriller from the acclaimed author of Eight Perfect Murders.

Abigail Baskin never thought she would fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He's a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind--a refreshing change from her previous relationships.

But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident--and the sexy guy who wouldn't give her his real name--out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life. Their honeymoon on a luxurious, secluded island will be the beginning of their blissful lives together.

Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears--and Abigail's future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real--and he's tracked her down to prove it.

Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon--and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the shadows one night, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss... including her perfect new husband.

A dream honeymoon, what could go wrong? Try EVERYTHING. This was a wild turn of events, that I did not see coming. This book was creepy and had you wondering what was going to happen next. It was a tad slow, but brought a shocking ending together.

3.5, rounded up. If you can majorly suspend your disbelief, you will love this book. Especially if you are looking for the "Good for her!" trope.
