I struggled with this book in the beginning, took a break and came back to it. It's about a young couple Dylan and Anna-Marie who have been dating for fourteen years, the book starts with Dylan preparing to propose when he is attacked and killed by what is assumed to be an animal. Anna-Marie falls into an pit of dispair and grief not wanting to continue on without him, her life is just a case of going through the motions until more unexplained animal attacks take place, working at a newspaper already she decides to investigate and this purpose gives her some of her spark back. She then meets Alessandro and a whole new world opens up a world she had no idea existed, what does this mean for her, how will it affect her future and how much does it affect her past.I found the book very slow in the beginning and I didn't really feel her despair now I don't know if it was me, the writing or I think just the fact that we didn't spend any time with her and Dylan as a couple beforehand, not that we needed to for the story but I found it hard to empathise because of this. Once she met Alessandro it seemed to pick up and I found it difficult to put down.
