Book Description
A dark secret. A deadly obsession. No place to hide.
Max Hunter, my boyfriend, booked the beautiful boat house on the Norfolk Broads as a surprise
autumn break
A week away to heal after a fraught few months following my father’s death. A chance to put the lies
and secrets behind us and to start afresh. But in the silence it feels like someone is out there.
Watching, waiting and taunting me.
When strange things begin to happen, I know this isn't going to be the relaxing break it’s supposed to
be.
As I become more jumpy, Max’s patience begin to wear thin. He thinks I am imagining things. But he
doesn't know the huge secret I am keeping, so big it could destroy us.
I have every right to be fearful and I have to make sure he never finds out the truth. But what if I am
already too late?
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'The Boat House' by Keri Beevis.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Keri Beevis, Boldwood Books and Rachel's Random resources Tours.
Publication date 24th August 2023
This is the first book I have read by this very talented author but it most certainly won't be my last!!! I've already added all her other books to my wish list and can't wait to read them!!
This novel consists of a prologue, 49 chapters and an epilogue. The chapters are short in length so easy to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
'The Boat House' discusses some topics that may upset some readers or may not be suitable for others. I like to point this out ahead of time in my reviews so you can judge if this book is for you or not. In this book Keri discusses drugs, @b0rti0n, r@p3 and $talking.
WHAT did I just read!!!! WOW!!! I mean seriously Wow!! I was NOT expecting that lot fair play!!! This has GOT to start with a MASSIVE WELL DONE Keri!!!! Ooopps sorry, yes, needed a minute to get over that but I've just left you hanging there... Sorry.... Let me tell you more...
Firstly let's start off with the writing style, etc!! This book is an extremely well written book by this amazing author which had me hook line and sinker!!! It is so smoothly and fantastically written with vivid descriptions I completely forgot I was even reading a book a few times. The synopsis, title and cover really fit the storyline.
As you can tell I LOVED the storyline!!! I found it to be realistic, creepy, addictive ,very fast paced and I read it in a day. I loved the unique setting and atmospheres and just well... Everything!!! This is one of those epic storylines that really does show how one moment in time can change so many lives!!! I absolutely loved this twisty and gripping thriller!!! Keri uses multiple perspectives and timelines in her storyline and managed to weave them altogether perfectly. Keri takes us into the past where Emily is spending time with her estranged dad who is dying with cancer in a hospice. Emily meets a volunteer called Cooper and things take a dark and nasty turn. The present storyline takes us on a week holiday with Emily, her boyfriend Max and their dog Scout to a boat house. They are hoping to reconnect and to rejuvenate after the loss of Emily's dad but when there are secrets and strange goings on will things get worse rather than better? I absolutely adored the creepy and isolated setting of the boat house and Keri's evocative writing skills really brings the atmosphere and setting to life along with the characters and the suspense she creates. This book is ram packed with tension, lies, suspense, twists, shocks and absolutely everything you could ever ask for in a psychological thriller!!! This book was extremely fast paced with something constantly happening to keep you addicted. Every time I kept telling myself one more chapter the one I was in ended at a point where there was no way I could stop reading so I absolutely devoured it in one sitting!! I was constantly guessing and questioning myself about who was behind what, what was going on and who was telling the truth and when everything was revealed I was absolutely shocked and had been completely wrong about everything!! This is not an easy feat considering how many books I read a year so a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Keri!! Arggghhh... Its so hard to NOT say anything about them as it will give too much away and spoil it for future readers but it definitely left me speechless over and over!!! I have read hundreds of psychological books and it gets harder and harder to keep my interest and to shock me but Keri managed it hook, line and sinker Just brilliant fair play and everything linked in and wraps up perfectly!!! I cannot remember the last time I flew through a book so quickly. Each and every time I went to put it down to do something my fingers were itching to pick it back up as I just HAD to know what happened next!! Keri's evocative writing skills ensures you are dragged deep into the storyline seeing everything that is happening and feeling the tension and suspense throughout. I was on the edge of my seat and biting my nails wondering what was going to happen next. I can't say more than that as I don't want to spoil it for future readers so if you want to know you'll have to grab yourself a copy!! You won't regret it!! Just like with the storyline the characters come to life with Keri's fantastic writing skills. They are well rounded, complex, realistic and strong making them all the more believable. I won't go into more details as I don't want to risk giving anything away but Keri really has done an amazing job constructing an addictive and explosive psychological thriller with fantastic and varied characters that you just won't be able to put down!! I must admit I was annoyed with some of the characters choices and actions which made them unlikeable at times. My favourite character just had to be the loyal and adorable Scout!!! I am a massive animal lover so any books that include animals as main characters are always a huge hit for me and Scout is one of the sweetest I've met!! Regardless of whether you love or hate the characters they all work perfectly to create an absolutely explosive page turner!! I would absolutely LOVE to see this turned into a movie and would wait up all night to get tickets to watch it!! An absolute must read!!
Congratulations Keri on an explosive success!!! I would like to welcome you to my favourite author club!! Here's to your next success 🥂!!!
Clear your schedules before picking this up as you will not be able to put it down!!!
Make sure you read to the very end of the book to read the prologue and first chapter of Keri's ''Trust No One' which promises to be just as addictive as this book and is one I'm definitely looking forward to reading myself!!
Overall an absolutely page turning, addictive, gripping and explosive must read that will keep you addicted from the very start to the mind blowing ending!!!
316 pages.
This book is just 99p to purchase on kindle via Amazon, free with kindle unlimited and £9.99 in paperback which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 5/5 (I LOVED it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
