Book Review: The Darkest Summer By Ella Drummond

Weekend without Thriller is like Tea without Milk

The story written is inspired from real life incident of loosing a teenage friend who dissapeared from the author's life one summer . Though the story is nothing close to the real incident as the author ended in meeting her friend years later.

Expected Publication of this book is 18th July 2019.

When the first few pages bangs you with interest you know what's lying ahead. The book surely made me stick till the end especially to know what happened to the character Dee . 

Dee? I called spotting movement behind the largest hydrangea. A slim figure with dark ,bobbed hair stepped forward. She looked timid and nothing like the Dee I remembered. You are all grown up,I laughed desperately to hide my shock at her tense sullen appearance. I hurried over to her.

The story line:

Dee and Sera were two best of friends .They shared their childhood together, but suddenly Dee and her family which included her brother Leo disappeared one summer without giving anyone any clue.
Years after Sera who is an adult now and have a daughter Katie 5 years old., shifts to her old home to live with her mom. Her husband die due to an accident. Little did she imagine that her stay would dig up some mystery about herself and her long lost friend Dee.

With added mystery man Henri in Sera's life, the new neighbour, it made the story more unpredictable.
Easy English for thriller lovers to begin with.I totally kept reading and reading just to know about Dee's daughter Ashley's peculiar behaviour and also a connection between Hazel and Mimi.
Did the book satisfy my thriller craving ?I would say yes somewhat .

I received the ARC of the #TheDarkestSummer written by #Ella Drummond from #netgalley
