Brilliantly written novel that switches between the narrator’s past and current life. The ending is a complete shock and not what I expected! Highly recommend! |

I really enjoyed the authors first book, and had high expectations going into this one. The heroines story goes back and forth between a terrible incident in her past and how things are coming apart in her current life. You will not see the ending coming. Shocking! |

3 ½ stars Aimee Sinclair is an upcoming star with a seemingly happy married life . But when her husband goes missing, she becomes the prime suspect in his disappearance. The police are pretty sure she is hiding something and are right as Aimee has a secret which she suspects that someone knows. Alternating with Aimee’s present story and of her tragic past when she was a little girl I Know Who You Are is a disturbing psychological thriller. A fast entertaining book but with a slight implausible twist at the end it still was an engaging read I would like to thank NetGalley and HQ for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest re |
This book is a roller-coaster of crazy. Alice Feeney definitely delivers on the bizarre variety of mystery/thriller. While I thin "Sometimes I Lie"" was a little better and had a little more of a mess with your mind ending, this book was still super twisted, unpredictable, and intriguing. I'd be very interested in what she writes next. I did not want to stop reading this book, as I as desperate to know what happened! The characters were the right mix of likable and untrustworthy/unpredictable. The past and present storytelling kept you wondering what was going on. There was creep factor and cringey moments and the ending was really like... WTF? None of my predictions were right. No spoilers, but it’s twisted and kind of gross. But I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes twisty thrillers! |
I loved Alice Feeney's first book Sometimes I Lie. Although I was initially drawn into this book I started to find it too far fetched and unbelievable. The ending was truly dissapointing and I had to go back and read the last few pages incase I had missed something. This was a dissapointing read. |
A book I ended up speed reading in order to finish. While it’s well written, I struggled with the story and the themes. |
Having read 'Sometimes I lie', I was already looking forward to reading another book by this author. I do like the premise of an unreliable narrator, it makes everything a bit less predictable, what do you believe? This book seems like marmite, with many finding it too much, but personally I enjoyed it right up until the reveal at the end, which I had sort of guessed but was hoping I was wrong. |
This book started off very well, it was written well and I loved how the chapters alternated between Aimee as a child and an adult. I was eager to know the twist but I read a lot of books like this so guessed the ending I am afraid. I thought it was a little far fetched too. So overall , good read but not amazing. |
Not a huge fan of this one. I found it very intriguing and really wanted to keep reading and see what happened next - until it got rather disturbing... incest, child abuse. The ending was also very disappointing. I found myself finishing it like what on earth just happened??? |
I thought Alice Feeney’s first book ‘Sometimes I lie’ was fantastic but this, her second novel, is even better. I was hooked from the first few pages and the pace never let up throughout ending in an explosive climax!!! The only thing I wasn’t so keen on were some of the themes she touched upon. So Aimee Sinclair - the girl you think you know but can’t remember where from. Aimee is an actress currently working on a film at Pinewood Studios in London. She is on her way home to her husband who she isn’t sure she loves anymore - last night she told him she wanted a divorce, only knot she isn’t sure. On arriving home, no one is home and on the coffee table lies her husband’s wallet, keys and phone. How can he have just disappeared? She contacts the police who clearly think she has something to hide and some involvement in his disappearance. The story unfolds both in the present day, in the days following her husband disappearing and is peppered with chapters about her childhood. Some of the incidents are difficult to read but they all add to the story. I honestly cannot emphasise just how good this book was. I don’t want to risk saying anything else about the story as I don’t want to inadvertently reveal any spoilers. I like when books tie up all the loose ends and in the main this did. However as with ‘Sometimes I lie’ you are left wondering about one tiny piece of thread. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. |

WOW!! I absolutely loved this book!! I was gripped from the first page and could not put it down. I Know Who You Are is definitely a story that will stay with me for a long time and I was shocked at the big reveal. There are some very dark subjects covered and I experienced a few "ick" moments where I was repulsed by what I was reading. A solid five stars from me. |

The twists and turns in this novel by Alice Feeney keep you on the edge of your seat to the end. A good read. |
I LOVED this! It's so refreshing to read a genuinely unpredictable book. The twists fly at you from all directions, so much so, I had to devour this in one sitting because I just had to know who and why was behind a plot to frame actress Aimee Sinclair for her husband's murder. Skilfully written, this will have you on the edge of your seat biting your nails! Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC without obligation. |
I have been looking forward to this book for a long time and it did not dissapoint! Aimee Sinclair is an actress who comes home one day to find her husband missing and it's looking like not all is as it seems, this story is full of twists and turns, stalkers and liars. Absolutely brilliant and would one million per cent recommend it to readers that enjoy a somewhat creepy phycological thriller. An easy 5 stars from me. |
I really enjoyed this book, particularly the two timelines. Some of the descriptions of Aimee’s childhood were difficult to read but I think enhanced the backstory sufficiently as to not be gratuitous. I admit I was intrigued all the way though as to what had happened and how had it happened. Great plotting and storytelling. |
This was a very twisted story and may have been a bit over the top but absorbing nonetheless. It had a very dramatic conclusion which was a bit implausible |
I love this book, gripping until the end. the association of the two stories was brilliant, i strongly recommend this thriller. surprising until the end. |
I Know Who You Are is the 2nd novel I have read from Alice Feeney and I still haven’t absolutely loved anything from her yet. However this one was absolutely addictive! So many twists and turns throughout and the overall plot was so twisted that you’ll probably read the ending with your mouth hanging open. Sadly for me, this wasn’t in a good way and I was left feeling more grossed out than anything. There were also just moments which felt as though they were added to pad out the book and served no purpose to plot/character development etc. And were never mentioned again. Meh. However the novel was also hard to swallow at points, with some absolutely heart-wrenching moments of pain: “I wonder if the rest of the world would still call it rape if they knew my husband did it to me”. The ending had some twists and turns which I didn’t quite expect, however it did feel a bit too far fetched for my personal tastes. Content warning for: Rape, Sexual assault, child abuse, incest.

“Not everybody wants a to be somebody. Some people just want to be somebody else.” There are some books you read and cant get out of your head the moment you finish the last page. This was one of those books for me! I am still trying to process everything and have so many thoughts and questions running through my head. I have seen a lot of feedback for this psychological thriller just recently and the reaction seems to be like marmite...you either love it, cant get it out of your head, or you hate it and think it is too far fetched. If you take anything from this review, please let it be this - ignore other peoples opinions of this storyline, pick it up with an open mind and read it for yourself. I saw so many reviewers that I respect say this was not for them, and knowing I enjoyed similar reads to them I expected I would feel the same way too. OH BOY WAS I WRONG!! I write my reviews based on the emotions I feel whilst reading the book but also on how I feel when its finished. The more twisted a storyline is, and provided it has been written in a way that is easy to follow along with, the more I love it and that is exactly what has happened here. My mind is still spinning trying to process what I have actually just finished. I honestly couldn’t put this down, so much so that I read it within two evenings and it only took me that long because I had to adult and go to work in the middle! This is a page turning, up all nighter because you want to finish it kind of story. This storyline was disturbing, dark and full of surprises. It is set in London and based around two main characters; Aimee & Ben Sinclair. It is written from both the past and present perspectives of Aimee, to help give character depth to the way Aimee is in her adulthood life. There were certain aspects that connected with me deep in the soul and bothered me for quite a while afterwards. This includes the moment with poor little cheeks the hamster and the HappyMeal from McDonalds being squashed on the floor of the dirty toilets in the early memories of little Aimee. The ending had me though...”he lost his head”! What a storyline! I am still disturbed even now as I am writing this review! It’s dark, sickening and twisted but I loved it for all those reasons. I know who you are has definitely left me with that “you’ve got to be kidding” feeling and if you enjoyed “My Lovely Wife” by Samantha Downing then I have no doubt you will enjoy this one too. |
