WHAT I'M READING | THE TRAPPED WIFE | SAMANTHA HAYES

Can you love a book and hate it at the same time?. This book is like no other. I have read quite a few now from Samantha Hayes, and she is definitely up there with one of my favourite authors, but some of this just didn't make sense to me.




This is not the happy family you think.

The fire crackles, my son smiles, the man jokes whilst I pour drinks.

But my husband has disappeared. The man is a stranger. My skin crawls every time he brushes my hand.

He says if I don’t play along, he has photos that will destroy my family.

What happened the night before my husband disappeared – the night I don’t remember?

There’s nothing I can do to save my family… is there?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with an ending you will NEVER see coming! Strap in for a twisty rollercoaster ride that will keep you turning pages all night long.

* Trigger warning *
There is sexual abuse in this book 

I really enjoyed the storyline, and the plot twist at the end was brilliant!, But the trigger warning part doesn't make any sense to me. I dont know why it is in the story, where it is relevant to the story. If you have read this one and it makes sense to you, then do let me know, or if you are as confused as I am, then I am glad I'm not the only one! :)

I would still recommend reading it, because the plot twist is a good one!
