Release Day ARC Review: The Ghostwriter by Alessandra Torre
The Ghostwriter is LIVE!
Genre: Mystery / Suspense, Contemporary Fiction
Synopsis:
I have three months to write the last book of my life. Three months to confess the details of that day, and how it changed everything for me.
My name is Helena Ross. I’ve written fifteen romance novels, ten of which have become international bestsellers. But this one isn’t a romance. This novel holds only the truth, which I’ve run away from for four years. The truth, which I have hidden from the police, from my loved ones, from the world.
This final book?
It’s my confession.

"If you lie enough times, no one believes your truth."
I love Alessandra Torre's writing a lot. She does a great job in coming up with stories that are different and unpredictable. I hesitated before picking up this book, I didn't know if I would like it or not. I went with my gut and trusted Alessandra to come up with a great story. The blurb doesn't give away a lot, however I don't think you need to know more than that. I loved the main character Helena, she is a bit different and does things her own way. I was looking forward to seeing her character develop throughout the story, and I couldn't wait for the truth to be revealed.
"It's not hard to write a book. The words are easy. What's difficult is the ability to breathe life into them."
I enjoyed this book a lot. The writing was excellent, and I didn't expect anything less from this author. I wasn't completely connected to the main characters and that is probably because I felt like there was more to be told. I especially wanted to know more about the other very important character in this book. I also figured a few things out halfway through the book before the big reveal, which decreased the shock effect on me. I think if I didn't predicted it, I would've rated it a solid 4.5 stars. It was very emotional and original. I haven't read anything like this book before. Especially the last 20% of the book had me hooked and on the edge of my seat. I couldn't contain my tears. The mystery effect especially in the beginning did a great job in keeping me hooked.
