A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby.

My Opinion
Alice Feeney's Beautiful Ugly is an exciting psychological thriller with all the twists and turns for a wonderful thriller. I have read mostly all of her books, and none of them disappoints us. Beautiful ugly is fast; it grips you from the start till the end. All the characters have an interesting role to play. Further, the story has some great creepy vibes. The only thing off was that I felt the author got confused between giving it a paranormal or a thrilling touch. Still, the story hooks you up till the end. I was expecting a more thrilling conclusion. The story takes you from a husband-and-wife relationship to a creepy island. Alice has done a fabulous job in defining the island to create an aura around the readers. And the most important thing is that this is not that kind of book where you can predict the plot. With every page, there are unexpected turns that were unbelievable. Definitely, the book deserves 4 stars.
