History spins a web into the present. A teenager dies after drinking a potion prepared by her sister and her friend. In the present Amy is due to be married to her fiance when he doesn't return home. She reports him missing to the police but a few days later another woman reports the same man as missing and claims he is her boyfriend. An enjoyable story with a twist in the tale.

A past buried in lies,an uneasy and deadly alliance,murder,family secrets this book has it all and I loved every page of it.
As you read each chapter an insidious sense if unease grows,for one person the secrets they kept are now tightening around them.
An absolutely gripping book,I could not put it down.

This book is an ok read. I liked how it showed the different characters version of events and jumps between them but unfortunately I figured out the twists long before they happened. If you want an easy read then I'd give this book a go.

I knew I would enjoy this book, as I loved the cover and the strap lines so it immediately jumped to the top of my TBR pile and thankfully I wasn’t disappointed. This is a really enjoyable and fast paced read, it is really cleverly written and keeps you interested right to the end.

Amy is due to get married in two weeks time but suddenly her fiancé Matt disappears and she is forced to call the wedding off.

Not far away another woman called Fiona reports her boyfriend as missing, he was going to leave his fiancé for her. The man who has gone missing meets the same description as Matt.

Amy doesn’t want to believe that Matt has been living a second life but as the police investigation moves forward Amy is forced to face the truth.

“The Vow” has such an interesting description that I couldn’t wait to dive right in to it. I found it so confusing at points that I almost didn’t want to finish it. I felt some of the characters lacked development and it made it difficult to figure out how they were involved. The ending was very rushed after parts of the story seemed to drag on. Overall, a great plot, but wasn’t for me.

What can I say except...wow. A fresh, different take on the domestic thriller! Amy, a quiet herbalist, is devastated when her fiance disappears only weeks before the wedding. She is further devastated when she finds out through the police that her near-husband was living a second life behind her back. And the other woman is a successful, attractive lawyer. Did either woman have something to do with their lover's disappearance? Do they know each other? Did they know of each other? If they did...for how long?

This book was a steady, enthralling read for me. There are two layers to the story, both tragic and horrifying in their own right. I truly didn't guess at the final twists until when they happened, and I was so sure that someone was involved that wasn't! The ending was satisfying. Overall, my first 5/5 read in quite awhile.

This was a great read. Twisty and with great character development and a tense storyline. , I loved the healing herbal element to the story and jess’s Recognition of the gaslighting. There were enough red herrings to keep me guessing . A mist enjoyable read in the garden on a sunny lockdown afternoon

Matt hasn’t be truthful with his fiancée and his sudden disappearance is about to completely fracture Amy’s seemingly perfect world. The cracks were there lurking in the background and once they become truly visible to her, they will cascade into a tsunami of betrayal and misery. Is someone trying to frame Amy and what secret is she protecting? Is she guilty or innocent, the clues are stacking up and time is running out.

A twisted and entertaining mystery of deceit with a dash of dastardly revenge peppered throughout.

I wasn’t sure where the novel was going to take me at first and worried this was going to be a standard missing person story but I was pleased to see that it had some hidden depth with the psychological elements. This made the character of Amy much more interesting. The ending became predictable but not in a negative way. The startling cover perfectly matches the story and was what drew me to requesting a copy, I’m glad I did.

Wow what a book. I literally couldn’t put it down. I love the way the author has written in the first person of Amy, Jess and Fiona.

The relationship between Matt & Amy is unbelievable. I love how Jess is so feisty and isn’t going to sit back and let everything happen around her.

I suspected a couple of characters but it turned out I was wrong which is awesome because lately some books I’ve read have been too predictable but this book was never that. The outcome is just what I wanted.

I’d definitely recommend reading this.

Thank you so much to Avon Books UK and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in return for my honest review.

A great story with lots of twists that kept me guessing and second guessing to the very end. Very enjoyable!

I will admit that I found this book quite confusing at times - often a problem with dual narrators. I would have liked to learn more about Matt in this book - his backstory seemed very rushed and would have been interesting to learn a bit more.

The ending left me almost non-the-wiser as to who the actual wrong do-er was - which, when you think about it, is a really good technique!

That said, I enjoyed this book and the premise was interesting however, I probably wouldn't recommend this book - just because I've read better in the genre and my friends are voracious readers with huge-TBR piles already!

A good psychological thriller. When Amy’s fiancé disappear one night, her life starts to unravel.
A good story with twists and turns in every chapter. I enjoyed reading this

I really enjoyed this book it's definitely in the 'do not want to put down or end' category.
Reading is my favourite hobby,but being in lockdown and someone who is having to sheild and has literally only been as far as our front doorstep since 21/03/2020 and it's now 26/05/2020,having a good book to read is even more of a joy than usual.
This book kept me engrossed and my thoughts on who may or may not be involved changed continually,which is always a good thing as it helps keep my brain ticking over!
I would not say it's an original concept for a book,but the way it plays out is different.
I especially enjoyed how herbalism was used,I found that interesting and educational,which is always a plus for me when reading a book.
The characters were believable and apart from one or two, obvious ones likeable.
I will definitely recommend the book to family and friends and read other books written by this particular author,who I would like to take the opportunity to thank for helping me to pass some 'lockdown' time.

I thought this book had an interesting plot line and I honestly couldn’t figure out the ending but I found the slow parts hard to get through. I thought the ending was very anticlimactic, I was shocked who it was but it just ended.

Thank you to a NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book.

I enjoyed this book, and thought it was a first class psychological thriller. It held my interest the whole way through, I read it in a couple of sittings, as it didn’t want to put it down. It’s the story of Amy, a herbalist, who is looking forward to her wedding in the next couple of weeks, when her husband to be disappears. The subsequent investigation into this disappearance uncovers that another woman, Fiona, has also reported him missing. The story has you on the edge of your seat, with lots of twists and turns. The little snippets in the book concerning Kimberley and Charlie take a while to fit into the story, but once they do, you end up hoping that the police will believe Amy over the other woman, Fiona. I was also surprised at the ending, as I had it in my mind who I thought was also deceiving Amy, but I was wrong!

I would certainly recommend this book.

A thrilling rollercoaster of a read told from the differing perspectives of Amy, Amy's daughter Jess and the other woman, Fiona. When Amy's fiance disappears one night Amy's world falls apart as she learns that Matt is not all he seemed to be.

A twist takes place two weeks before a wedding, Fiancé has disappeared and several characters contribute to discovering a double life. Hard to decide who to believe and keeps you guessing until the end.

Two weeks before her wedding, a stranger stops Amy in the street and warns her she’s in danger. Then that night, Matt, her fiance, doesn’t come home. Another woman ,Fiona, also reports a man missing and it’s the same man, Matt had been living a double life.

As the police dig deeper, two conflicting, yet equally plausible stories emerge from two women who allegedly have never met. Who is lying and where has Matt disappeared ?

What initially attracted me to this book was its cover and once I read the synopsis I felt that it would be full of twist and decided to give it a try!!

This story is told from the perspectives of Amy, Fiona, Jess (Amy's daughter), and an unknown narrator from 1996. It emphasizes the importance of trust and honesty in a relationship, because sometimes one is so absorbed in the person they love that they miss seeing the danger signals that are right in front of them.

The way the story developed right from the first page was quite good and the characters were quite suspenseful although the final twist was not as surprising as it should have been since quite a few hints were given throughout the story.

But it still is a gripping mystery and an enjoyable read for mystery lovers.

Thank You to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC!!

Loved this! Lots of twists and turns throughout. I often thought I had the "whodunit" right and then my suspicion fell on another character. Give this a look you wont be disappointed.

Rating: 4 stars

What an interesting read! I was excited to read this book as it seemed like something I hadn't really heard of before. It definitely kept me interested through all the twists of the plot. I liked the depth of the story, and the existence of Fiona's story really adds another element to the story.

Recommend!
