I'm excited to be joining this blog tour for Evie Hunter's The Take Down!
I've very recently started reading more thrillers and am looking forward to reading this one. Here's the info:
A woman scorned...
On board the superyacht Perseus, moored in the glamorous harbour in Antibes, Freya Addison is settling into her new role as hostess.
The other crew members all like Freya, she is calm and diligent and a hard worker, but what they don’t know is that Freya has a secret and an ulterior motive for being on board.
Revenge will be hers.
Because Freya isn’t here to travel the world in style. She has her sights set on one thing only, bringing down the owner of the yacht - the rich and arrogant Julian Falcon.
A man who ripped the heart out of Freya’s family.
And a man she will make pay…
My thoughts:
I liked the slow unraveling of the history between Freya and Julian. It added a bit to the suspense of the novel. That being said, I did find it a really slow start to the book and so perhaps a bit more backstory a bit sooner would have helped. I enjoyed the characters and the setting of a superyacht was a cool idea. I did find the grammar a bit weird at times, but that might be a because I'm Canadian, but things like "Did they hell!" to mean something along the lines of "they did not!" or "Did they? No!" Overall it was a decent book, but didn't quite land with me the way I'd hoped.
