The Vow by Stefanie London is a thrilling read that delves deep into friendship, secrets, and the weight of a shared past. The premise is compelling: three women, bound by a mysterious vow they made twelve years ago, reunite for a wedding, only to find that someone seems intent on making them pay for their past actions. The tension builds as they face the consequences of a night they've vowed never to speak about.

The characters are complex and flawed, yet strangely relatable, and it's easy to find yourself rooting for them despite their imperfections. As their past begins to surface, I was hooked, desperate to understand what happened that night and who was behind the ominous threats. London does a fantastic job of creating a suspenseful atmosphere, keeping the reader guessing about the true nature of their shared secret.

The mix of mystery, emotional depth, and the intricacies of their relationships made this book hard to put down. It’s one of those stories where you can’t help but get invested in the characters and their journey, even as their past mistakes come back to haunt them. The twists and turns kept me hooked until the very end, making The Vow a compelling and satisfying read.

My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

One of the most gripping, unputdownable, nerve-wracking books that I have EVER read! It kept me on the edge of my seat I’d everyone to clear your schedule before you start it as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down!

It was hooked from start to finish there were many jaw-dropping twists. Prepare to be on the edge of your seat until the very end!

It was an incredible book so well written and extremely very intriguing. I’d highly recommend this book!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

The Vow follows Ellie as she gets married in a destination wedding. She invites her childhood friends, Rose and Sofia. This should be Ellie's happiest day in her life, but when things start to go wrong, she realises someone out there knows this is not the first vow she makes... Years ago, Ellie, Rose and Sofia promised each other they wouldn't tell anyone about what happened that night and now someone who knows has come back to taunt them... but why?

This book was so good I read it at the weekend. I think I would've read it in one sitting if it hadn't been for the fact I had to go out and get groceries. Ugh! I wish I'd planned better. I couldn't stop thinking about the book when I went to bedm so I snuck out of bed early to finish it before breakfast. You've been warned!

The story is di-a-bol-i-cal...!! where do I even begin? told from their respective POVs, it has two main storylines: Ellie's wedding today, and that fatidic night in 2013. Something I really, really liked was that this was a character-driven story. So this was quite "meaty" with good insight into what drives each character. I did feel a bit bad for them, the author did a great job emoting the sense of injustice that permeates life these days. Anyone can go online and say anything about you and you're presumed guilty until proven innocent. But... what if you're kind of guilty?

These are flawed humans that I strangely found myself rooting for! I wanted to know more about them, what drove them, and I NEEDED to know what happened that night and who was behind their misadventure!!

All in all, a great book!! I'm already looking forward to Stefanie's next book!!
