In an Instant

When I read the synopsis of this book I wasn't sure what to expect and whether I was going to enjoy the read. I sat down with a glass of red and settled in for what I hoped was a good read. That glass of wine, turned into 3.

It literally starts with death. Poor Finn..... dead.

After a decision changes the fate of a car full of people in the blink of an eye, a snap move that leads to the death of his daughter.
The choices that they make will haunt them all forever. Once the survivors make it back to the land of the living, she stays on and observes the aftermath and the lies that are told to hide the dark truth of what happened during the blizzard. The story is narrated by Finn who is watching from her afterlife, as her family and friends navigate through their heartache and all consuming rage. She sees everyone and can do nothing to ease their grief. It's devastating to see the aftermath of such a tragedy. Being invisible to the people you love.... That is worse than hell.

The whole book is very cleverly put together. She has the main character, who isn't of this realm anymore, narrating from her birds eye view perspective, so it's all first hand what we are experiencing. Kind of in love with the concept. It was hard to put down. I'm not going to lie, I'm going to be purchasing a copy as soon as it's available.

It's a compelling story of friendship, love, betrayal, and madness.
Best book, I think I've had as an ARC.

Has a similar vibe to the Lovely bones and I was nowhere near blown away with that book as I was with this one. I can't recommend it enough!

If you want a page turning that you will hate to put down (your partner might need to pry it from your hands), then this is your book. Time to hunt down the other books this author has written! I can see us becoming lifelong reading friends.

I rarely give 5 stars but this one is brilliant and I will make sure to let the world know they need to purchase this on release day!
