I was given an ARC in exchange of an honest review
---------------------------------------------------------------
She never should have saved him.
When Alice Reed goes on her normal morning jog in the peaceful Swiss Alps, she never expected to save a man from suicide. But she does. And she shouldn’t have.
Adamant they have an instant connection Manfred’s charming exterior grows darker and his obsession with Alice grows stronger.
In a country far from home, where the police don’t believe her, the locals don’t trust her and even her husband questions the truth about Manfred, Alice has nowhere to turn.
To what lengths will Alice go to protect herself and her family?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
We live in a world were we can trust nobody, and there is a saying that says no good deeds goes unpunished. When you think about saving someone´s life, you´d never think that same person will turn against you, but all three things above, has turn out to be true.
That´s a very insteresting background to a story, and it had a great potential to be terrifying. But, Alice´s choices felt kind of dumb. Like the person who always run up to the top floor of the building while running from the psycopath with an axe trying to kill everyone.

Vivemos em um mundo onde não podemos confiar em ninguém, e há um ditado que diz que nenhuma boa ação fica impune. Quando você pensa em salvar a vida de alguém, você nunca pensará que a mesma pessoa se voltará contra você, mas todas as três coisas acima se revelaram verdadeiras.
Esse é um contexto muito interessante para uma história, e tinha um grande potencial para ser aterrorizante. Mas as escolhas de Alice pareciam meio idiotas. Como a pessoa que sempre corre até o último andar do prédio enquanto corre do psicopata com um machado tentando matar todo mundo.
