I’m not proud of something things in my past, but they make me who I am now, so I don’t think I could be blackmailed with them. In this book, the main character allows something that happened in her past to allow her to be roped into something, not so nice.

This book is told from Clare’s point of view and is set in Scotland. Clare is a university student who finds herself drawn to an odd group of friends. After getting to know them, she finds herself participating in a dark and unscrupulous project. While she’s uncomfortable with it, she goes along because one of the members of the group is holding something from Clare’s past over her head. When Clare has had enough, will she be able to get out unscathed?

This book was so slowly paced. I really didn’t enjoy the writing style, it felt off to me and it seemed inconsistent – which I did not enjoy. Because of the writing and the pace, I got really bored really fast and because of this, and well what the characters did, I just didn’t enjoy, or care what happened to any of the. I also found the book overly vague – like sure I want to guess at some things, but not major plot details. I only finished this one because I wanted to find out what the characters were hiding in their past, but even that was an utter disappointment.
