Review:

"Drowned" by Therese Bohman was a literary, psychological, and chilling -thriller novel. 

"Drowned" is of a university student from  Stockholm,Marina, visits her older sister on vacation.   Stella who is a horticulturist  and her husband Gabriel....who is a charismatic older man and a writer.  Marina is attracted to Gabriel and senses something very strange in her sister's 'idyllic life' which she will end up caught up in the feelings of sensuality.  A vacation that you would have thought to be relaxing soon becomes something very dark and forbidding."  OMG!  This  will definitely  leave the reader to wonder what was really going on in this more complex well written story. This is where I say you must pick up "Drowned" to read.

The author does a wonderful job as her descriptions and details  the sensual and darkness ...the surroundings... of Marina's childhood  memories..showing who she is and the relationship she had with her  sister, Stella.

"Drowned" was rather a quick short read that did keep my attention till the end.  The ending will be somewhat a surprise WoW!  If you are in for a story with plenty of twists...then you have come to the
right place and I would recommend this  thriller novel for you.
