Narrators ~ Tamsin Kennard, Harrie Dobby
POV ~ dual 1st person
Featuring ~ dumb choices
Mom, Dawn & daughter, Ellie have been on their own since the untimely death of their husband/father. They clash at times as mothers and daughters do.
Ellie acts way younger than her 24 years with the choices she makes, especially that of finding a boyfriend online in a different country. I’ve never been to the UK, but surely there are some eligible lookers over there. Even Dawn doesn’t make the best choices. Maybe it was fine that they head to the states to meet Daryl and his father, Harvey, but why on earth would they stay in the house with these strangers?? And going snooping around, too, just calls for disaster.
Despite the dumb choices I really liked this one. Even though there’s some predictability, it’s fast paced with edge of your seat moments. This book makes me have to reiterate to my teenager to make smart choices.
Narration notes ~ overall they both did a fine job. I’m happy there were 2 and their voices were age appropriate. I like that they attempted to do American accents for the men.

Book blurb:
My daughter thought she had found the man of her dreams. But now her life is in danger…
When Ellie tells me she has a new boyfriend, I am absolutely thrilled and can’t wait to meet him. She finally seems so happy and in love.
But there’s a catch. Ellie has never met him in person. In fact, he doesn’t even live in the same country. Our home is in England, but Daryl is in Los Angeles.
When handsome Daryl invites Ellie to stay with him at his luxury Los Angeles mansion for a few weeks, I insist on joining her. I need to find out more about the man who has my daughter so enamoured.
Daryl welcomes us into his whitewashed house, complete with a stunning swimming pool and sun-drenched patio. Then one morning, I discover a terrible secret in his basement that changes everything. He has been lying to us from the start.
I go to confront him, but Ellie and Daryl are nowhere to be found. I call Ellie’s phone but there’s no answer.
Has something happened to my precious girl? And will I be able to save her?
