After moving from a small country town to Seattle, Heather Baxter marries Tom, a widowed doctor with a young son and teenage daughter. A working vacation overseas seems like the perfect way to bring the new family together, but once they're deep in the Australian outback, the jet-lagged and exhausted kids are so over their new mom.
When they discover remote Dutch Island, off-limits to outside visitors, the family talks their way onto the ferry, taking a chance on an adventure far from the reach of iPhones and Instagram.
But as soon as they set foot on the island, which is run by a tightly knit clan of locals, everything feels wrong. Then a shocking accident propels the Baxters from an unsettling situation into an absolute nightmare.
When Heather and the kids are separated from Tom, they are forced to escape alone, seconds ahead of their pursuers.
Now it's up to Heather to save herself and the kids, even though they don't trust her, the harsh bushland is filled with danger, and the locals want her dead.
Heather has been underestimated her entire life, but she knows that only she can bring her family home again and become the mother the children desperately need, even if it means doing the unthinkable to keep them all alive.
This was an action-packed thriller with interesting characters. The page-turner plot was very entertaining. There were twists and turns that I did not see coming that pushed things over the edge. If you like action thrillers then you would enjoy this one.

WOW! WOW! WOW!
My reviews do not tell the storyline which you already know what it is when you get this book---
I don't think I can put into words how GREAT this book is, the writing and telling of the story is excellent!
From page one you'll engage with this family especially the MC, Heather, and you'll be by her side throughout the entire book
This story puts you by Heather's side and you can see and hear and feel all the things she is doing and going through, the descriptions are vivid and again you can see, hear and feel the impact, THIS IS GREAT STORYTELLING!
I'll give this one 100% rating!
