Lake Child By Isabel Ashdown

Rocky Start but Worth It.

The confusion of the first couple of chapters caused me to think this book was going to be slog but by end of chapter 5 or 6 I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I finished this book in one sitting as I needed to know how it turned out and what had really happened with Eva.

Lake Child is about a girl, Eva, who has been in an accident and has woken with memory issues in her parents attic. With no clue what has happened, what's going on or why she is being shut up there with no one else allowed to visit except occasional enquiries from the police. 

There was lots of twists and turns in the story so even though I had guessed a few bits an pieces there was always something to hold my attention and make me need to continue reading. There was a few bits that where slow but mainly once I got through the first section I knew that the rest was going to be great and I was not disappointed. It was well worth it. 

I would definitely recommend to other readers but would warn there is some traumatic events in here as well as the ideas that may come while Eva is still gets some of her memory back. If disturbed and put off books with details of Sexual Violence then this may not be for you but events and any descriptions are to minimum with more of a focus on the mystery that the author creates surrounding what happened.
