Review: Keep You Safe by Rona Halsall

Keep You Safe by Rona Halsall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The only thing that kept Natalie from giving up throughout the years she spent in prison for a crime that she didn't commit was looking forward to seeing her beloved young son Harry again.Only not only had her husband Tom demanded a divorce but he had taken Harry and fled to The Isle Of Man where they had their own laws and she had no legal right of access to Harry. As soon as she is released Natalie makes her way to the island determined to find her son and take him somewhere where they will never be found.But unbeknownst to Natalie she is being stalked by a deadly enemy,someone who is prepared to go to any lengths to stop their secrets and lies from being uncovered.

This gripping thriller is mainly voiced by Natalie in short,snappy chapters that alternate between then and now.The then chapters cover events leading up to Natalie`s arrest,the changes in her character as she adjusts to life in prison whilst coming to terms with the extent of her so called husbands betrayal. Trying to get through every day whilst living with the constant treat of violence she has to learn to toughen up and protect herself. I struggled to like Natalie at times during these parts of the story due to her snobbish,judgemental behaviour. The now chapters cover Natalie`s desperate search for her son whilst trying to stay one step ahead of her mysterious pursuer. These chapters were gripping,action packed and intense and were my favourite parts of the story.Interspersed throughout the book are short chapters that give the reader an insight into the twisted thoughts of the antagonist. But who is this person and why do they dislike Natalie so much?

This is a well written,debut thriller, the prison scenes were realistic,the characters were vivid and believable. Natalie`s life threatening confrontation with her antagonist was action packed,breath taking and intense. The story held my attention throughout, I would happily recommend this book to fellow thriller readers and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
