He Will Find You is a psychological thriller that I knew from the start I was going to like even if I second guessed what was going to happen throughout the book it still held my attention and this is down to the great writing.
Kaitlyn has contacted an old friend she knew from her boarding school days via Facebook and this leads to her and Alex exchanging long and frequent messages. Alex comes across charming and perfect so Kaitlyn agrees to meet up with him this leads to a one night stand leaving her pregnant but Alex is delighted and wants to marry her and gets her to move miles away from where she lives to his house in the Lake District. After a while it becomes clear Alex is not the man she thought he was as he becomes very controlling over her life. As she settles into life in the old rectory it becomes clear that Alex has built their relationship on lies.
This was a great read that I enjoyed and found it very easy to read and the story flowed well with no real slow parts for me, there were some likeable characters and some not so likeable which gave it a good balance for me.
I would like to thank Netgalley and HQ Digital for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

I read "He will find you"courtesy of Netgalley and even though I had not read anything by Diane Jeffrey before now, i found I was utterly hooked from the first chapter of this novel! It's an easy read, not too many over complicated words or stories going on. Just one good, easy to follow storyline throughout that the average middle aged woman could probably relate to. A great twist I did not see coming as with all phsycological thrillers. I would definitely read more titles by this Author!

This is a book I found myself drawn into very quickly. It quite literally had me hooked from the first chapter. Straight away in the beginning chapters you get this tense, un-easy feeling that all is not quite right with Alex. There is something lurking beneath his seemingly sweet and charming persona. 
 
I felt like I was reading this book sat on the edge of my seat, nervous as anything for what might happen to Kaitlyn. Half of me was shouting at Kaitlyn to get out as quickly as she can and the other half of me was angry as anything with Alex for his manipulative ways. 

I thought the authors writing in this book was mesmerising. I really felt the emotions of Kaitlyn and genuinely felt her pain, anxiety and terror. I think what endeared me to Kaitlyn so much is that she is just an average woman. She could be anyone; your mother, your sister, your best friend.

Thanks to Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book more than I expected. I was starting to get concerned that I had read too many abusive husband novels lately and this one would fall flat, but it actually held my interest. I think the author's writing style was to my liking. I found it very readable, which allowed me to read it quickly. Toward the end I was starting to fear that I was really just dealing with a story and there would be no twists and turns but luckily, there did end up being a pretty surprising twist at the end, which I appreciated. I would probably read more from this author.

Kaitlyn is bored. She feels stuck in a rut so when she sees someone she used to know on Facebook she sends a friend request to Alex. Before she knows it her life has changed, after one night with Alex she finds herself pregnant & he is keen for her to join him in the Lake District & to get married.

But how well does she know Alex? Why is he so secretive? Separated from her family she finds herself ever more isolated and controlled. This was not what she had expected and as time goes on she becomes frightened of the man she's married.

This was a good read.Kaitlyn & her family were engaging characters and although I guessed most of the twists it was still a ery enjoyable read.

Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

He Will Find You by Diane Jeffrey is a marvelous, heart stopping contemporary psychological thriller that will grip you from the start. I read with pulse rapidly rising, fearful of what lurked behind closed doors.
The characters were well drawn. There was more than a hint of menace behind a polished exterior. I questioned who was the face behind the mask? Could I trust what I saw? Or was I going crazy? I 'lived' the action with myself in the lead role. Who could I trust? Suspicion hid behind every corner.
Family is important. They support you but sometimes they mess you up. Your early years will make or break you.
Your new best friend? Or your new bitter enemy? You decide.
A major theme is that of abuse. Abuse takes many forms - mental anguish can be just as painful as physical abuse especially when no one believes you - and you begin to doubt yourself.
How far will you go to protect your child? A mother's love knows no boundaries.
He Will Find You is a creepy, compelling, compulsive read. The landscape mirrors the action. A brilliant novel - but don't read it alone.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

MoMo’s Book Diary recommends this intriguing 5 star thriller.
                        
After reading Diane Jeffrey’s debut thriller Those Who Lie I couldn’t wait to read He Will Find You.  I was not disappointed.  

This domestic thriller had me gripped from the start. The author expertly weaves the clues throughout the story.  I was reading whilst my brain was trying to work out what was really going on.  I could not read fast enough and it was clear from the first few pages that I would not be getting anything else done until I had reached the end of this book. 

This is a fantastically edgy read with richly developed characters.  I felt very connected to the characters and enjoyed the way in which the author wove the tale around both locations, Somerset and the Lake District. It will keep you on a white knuckle ride right to the end – and beyond!

Thanks to NetGalley, HQ Digital and Diane Jeffrey for the opportunity to read and review this five star psychological thriller.

This is a story about Kaitlin’s life from when she moves in with her school crush Alex, after meeting up with him 20 years later and falling pregnant to him after a one night stand.  It isn’t as clinical as this, and we get to see snippets of emails Alex sends to Kaitlin prior to their actually meeting and after when she tells him she’s pregnant.

Kaitlin moves from the West Country to the Lake District leaving her job, her family and her current boyfriend to live with Alex and as the story progresses we get an insight into her insecurities and fears of moving so far away, and feeling cooped up in the house she now shares with Alex.  Sadly, after she marries the man of her dreams, she soon realises that life isn’t as wonderful as she thought it would be, and more importantly, Alex has a darker domineering side that slowly unravels as the book progresses.

I don’t want to say more about the storyline as I don’t want to give the plot away, but I will say that I feel that Diane Jeffrey writes Kaitlin well.  She shows us her thoughts, fears and feelings well as Kaitlin struggles to come to terms with being a new mother who is also many miles from her family and friends whilst also dealing with a controlling husband.  Many times Kaitlin feels that it is her actions or words that cause Alex to show this side of him and she not only justifies his actions, but defends him.  This we know is a very common form of behaviour from men and women who have been in this situation and therefore is very realistic.  As the story grows, so does Kaitlin however and one can easily immerse themselves in the book thinking they could be listening to a friend telling her story.  Jeffers does this very well.

Although I guessed the part about the fate of Kaitlin’s twin relatively early in the book, as I did much of the ending, I didn’t find that this in anyway detracted from the story and I still wanted to rush towards the climax and see for myself how the story would reach this and subsequently end.

My one complaint is that I found at times that part of the story felt like Kaitlin was either running off lists of her day, or there were times when there was too much waffle and words repeated practically within the sentence which I found were a little unnecessary, although there weren’t enough of them to put me off reading.

Finally I would like to recommend others to read this and see for themselves how Kaitlin deals with her new life, and I hope they enjoy ‘He Will Find You’ as much as I do.  I would also like to thank Diane Jeffrey, HQ Digital and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book.  I hope you find the review useful.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
This book is what perfect psychological thrillers are made of! 
I often find with a new book, it takes a while to get into the story, but I was captured immediately. The writing style was fluid which made it easy to read, with no constant switches in the story interrupting the flow. The twists and turns of the plot were a continual surprise, which made the story really exciting. I was amazed how every time I thought the story was drawing to a close, there was one more twist, and then another and another....
I didn't quite follow why the ending had to happen that way, but nonetheless, it made a great twist to finish on.

He Will Find You is the second excellent book from Diane Jeffrey which once again succeeds in grabbing you from the first page.Kaitlyn meets up with Alex an old school friend who she met through Facebook and after a one night stand she finds herself pregnant by him and after been seduced by Alex's emails she decides to leave her boyfriend in Somerset and move to Grasmere in the Lake District to live with and marrry Alex.All is well at first but then the cracks begin to show after the baby is born and Kaitlyn finds herself in a marriage that she never thought possible with Alex starting to control all aspects of her life and showing glimpses of his terrible temper.Having finally had enough she moves back to Somerset but will Alex find her ? A great psychological thriller once again by Diane Jeffrey and i look forward to her 3rd book if it is as good as this one,an excellent 5 star read.

A real edge of the seat thriller, I couldn't put it down - lots of surprises, twists and turns and a gripping end. A fantastic example of this genre. Loved this book, can't wait to read more from this author!

The first thing I will say about this book is that I had to suspend disbelief a little too much for my liking, and whilst the beginning few chapters of the book were believable and built suspense, the latter chapters were pretty far-fetched. Anything too far-fetched for me and at odds with a likely reality means I don’t really enjoy a book. I was quite disappointed by the ending here, but I enjoyed the writing style therefore I persevered. 

The premise here is that Kaitlyn meets an old school friend on Facebook after finding each other on Facebook, and what quickly develops is a relationship and a pregnancy. Kaitlyn moves North to live with her new partner, but very quickly she discovers some concerning aspects of his personality and she begins to have regrets. I think the plot is fairly predictable from the plot summary.

Diane Jeffrey was born and raised in North Devon, UK, but now lives in Lyon, France with her family. Her debut psychological thriller "Those Who Lie", was a Kindle bestseller in the USA, Canada and Australia and in the top 100 Kindle books in the UK. She is an English teacher and enjoys both reading and writing as well chocolate, beer and holidays! Her books are perfect for those who enjoy Sandie Jones and BA Paris.

"He Will Find You" is Jeffrey's second novel set in the Lake District and Somerset and the beautiful settings are one of the things that attracted me to this book, especially the Lake District locations as I live close to Cumbria just over the border in Northumberland. If i'm honest, it took me a while to get into the story but once I was I enjoyed it immensely. You are always on red alert as you cannot completely trust any of the characters and their development was excellent. Alex is a particularly evil individual and when his wife realises he is hiding a multitude of secrets from her she asks him to tell her the truth. Having denied her she resolves to find them out for herself.

Thrilling and well paced, this is a great domestic thriller that becomes increasingly dark as time goes on. I am glad I stuck with it so if you find you're not loving it as much as predicted, keep reading a little longer as it becomes more suspenseful in the second half. The denouement was a satisfying and fitting conclusion to the story.

Many thank to HQ Digital for an ARC. I was not required to post a review and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Great suspenseful tale.  Boy meets girl, they fall in love, have a baby, girl leaves all her family behind so has no support, boy turns out not to be who he first seems - this may all sound like one of your usual psychological suspense tales but here you meet Alex who is another kind of evil altogether.......  This was such a good read that I finished it within 24 hours, followed the author on Facebook and am now planning to purchase her first book.   I really recommend this book!   Thank you to the author, her publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this in advance.
