The guesthouse by Robin Morgan Bentley

What a thriller this was, This was one which still has me thinking and wondering. It can be purchased here on Amazon, Waterstones , Barnes and Noble
Synopsis
How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Jamie and Victoria are off for a last quick vacation before the arrival of their first baby. The remote country guesthouse Victoria chose seems like the perfect retreat—miles away from the distractions of work and their regular life. And the older couple that runs the establishment, Barry and Fiona, is more than accommodating. But when Jamie and Victoria awake on their first morning, they find the house deserted. Barry and Fiona are nowhere to be seen. All the doors are locked. And their cell phones and car keys have disappeared. Even though it's a few weeks before the baby's due date, Victoria feels the contractions starting. The baby is coming...and there's no way out. The Guest House is an unpauseable thriller with an explosive beginning and shocking twists perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware.
My synopsis
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I finished this book a few days ago and just had to process everything, its haunted me, but in the way a good thriller is meant to. I was anxious, tense and just when I thought I knew the story.. everything was flipped!
Do you believe that one event can make or break you as a person and completely shape you and your future?
Without giving too much away I despised one of the characters and could not relate to them at all, but I feel that was the intent.
Another character showed so much compassion and strength and I had empathy for them and could relate to them far more despite vast differences. I loved how Robin Morgan Bently used his own story in the character Jamie, and is bringing awareness of Cerebral palsy it's awesome to read a refreshingly real character.
This book had an unfathomable event and created a tense, crazy and gripping story I couldn't put down.
Thank you @netgalley And @poisonedpenpress For the arc copy in exchange for my honest opinions
