They had found paradise. What would they do to keep it?
With a quick spin of the globe, Kitty and Lana escape their grey reality and journey to the Philippines. There they discover The Blue – a beautiful yacht, with a wandering crew.
They spend day after languorous day exploring the pristine white beaches and swimming beneath the stars, and Lana drifts further away from the long-buried secrets of home.
But the tide turns when death creeps quietly on deck.
A dangerous swell of mistrust and lies threatens to bring the crew’s adventures to an end – but some won’t let paradise go…whatever the price.
What did I think?
This book was simply amazing, completely
gripping and an absolute page-turner. I’ve
had it in my pile to read for quite some time and although I was interested
enough to request a copy, other books seemed to pique my interest more. How wrong I was to leave this little beauty gathering dust. If you have it in your TBR pile, read it now!
I love books that flick back and forth
between the past and the present so I knew that once I picked this up, I wouldn't
be able to put it down. You feel that all of the characters on The Blue are running away from something or perhaps simply trying to make a new start, either way they are all hiding secrets and you don't know who can be trusted. You can feel the air almost crackling with tension; on the surface they all appear to be friends but underneath alliances are being made and it's only a matter of time before the weakest may get thrown overboard.
I was absolutely captivated by this story, I fell in love with the beauty of both The Blue and the scenery she sailed in. I read it so fast as I wanted to know why Lana left The Blue, what happened to Joseph and whose body is now floating in the sea. There was so much I didn't even see coming, even though the clues were there but I was just enjoying myself so much being swept along with the magic of The Blue.
This really is a stunning book, it is so vivid and written so beautifully that I felt I was part of the voyage. I won't ever hesitate again in picking up another book by Lucy Clarke.

I received this e-book from the publisher, HarperCollins, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
My rating:
Great review, this looks really good. I'll put it on my wish list for sure.
