Book Synopsis:
BE CAREFUL
Ellie has wanted to be an actor since she was a child so, when a role in a blockbuster film presents itself, she grabs it.
WHAT YOU
On the plane to Abu Dhabi to begin filming, Ellie overhears something she shouldn’t – two people discussing plans for murder.
WISH FOR
Unsure if it’s a misunderstanding, and not wanting to ruin her big break, Ellie remains quiet. Then ten members of the cast become nine…
Ellie needs to be careful – it’s more than just her career on the line.
Because she isn’t who she says she is.
And liars are always the prime suspect.
My Review:
Sun Trap is a gripping, atmospheric read that I really enjoyed.
The book follows Ellie who swaps identity with her look-a- like friend Phoebe and takes her job on a film set in Abu Dhabi which quickly turns into a nightmare experience. Having never been anywhere like Abu Dhabi I loved the author’s vivid descriptions which made me feel like I was actually there experiencing everything alongside the characters. The descriptions of the film set were also really well done and I enjoyed seeing how a film set might operate.
The characters were all interesting creations who I enjoyed following throughout the book. There were some I liked and some I loved to hate. The different actor stereotypes were all there from the diva to the quiet broody one which I found amusing. I did like the main character Ellie and felt a lot of sympathy for her with everything she goes through in the book. She definitely grew on me as the story went on going from a scared, nervous girl who I found quite annoying to someone who was actually very brave in difficult circumstances.
w
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I’ll definitely be recommending it to anyone wanting a gripping destination thriller. The story starts straight away and I soon found myself drawn into the story. The story had a dangerous feeling to it from the start and the tension in the book gradually creeped up as more interesting things happened. There were lots of twists that kept me guessing and I soon found the book impossible to put down as I was so absorbed in the story.
Huge thanks to Sophie from Ransom pr for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
This would make a great holiday read for anyone wanting a gripping read to read in the sun (hopefully) this summer.
