Here To Stay is a fast paced, turn the page thriller that I couldn’t put down!

Gemma and Elliot meet, fall in love and marry after only two months together. Everything seems perfect until Gemma’s parents and younger sister return to England and are in need of a place to stay. Elliot quickly realizes that his new in-laws have no intention of leaving and something just isn’t right. What secrets are they hiding? Elliot is determined to solve the mystery  in order to save his marriage but is he ready for what he is going to find out?

This book was Susan a pleasant surprise. I loved the concept and the twisty plot. I found it to be original and suspenseful and I would definitely recommend to all thriller-lovers out there!

A totally riveting read, full of suspense I just couldn't put this book down. If you don't have a good relationship with your in-laws then this probably give you some sleepless nights. The main characters are an interesting study of human behaviour, fast-paced and entertaining. I highly recommend this!

Meet the Robinsons .. if you must . Elliott and Gemma have a whirlwind romance and it’s not long before they are living together . Enter Gemmas family the Robinsons .come to stay for only two weeks while they get settled home from France . What could possibly go wrong ! 
Love Mark Edwards books and this didn’t disappoint

Here to Stay is well written,but is hard to read due to such horrid characters that are so unlikable. The storyline is good,but the horrible characters just make it hard to finish the book.

Has there ever been a weak, more frustrating main character? None come to mind at this particular moment. A predictable plot and unredeeming secondary characters culminate in a story that I ended up skimming.  However, I stayed until the end hoping that every single character got what was coming to them. In a way, they did so there's that.

I received a free electronic ARC copy of this novel on September 23, 2019, from Netgalley, Mark Edwards, and Thomas & Mercer publishers. Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me. I have read this novel of my own volition, and this review reflects my personal opinion of this work. I am always surprised by just how quickly a good author can suck you into their personal, imaginary world. Mark Edwards is a master. He is an author I am happy to recommend to friends and family, one I am following.

I didn't see far enough ahead to follow this tale to its conclusion - Over and over I am caught unaware. I found Gemma completely sympathetic, her sister rather pathetic and ineffectual, and the parents totally evil. All the way through. Needless to say, the ending was a fairly complete surprise. I loved the trip and appreciated the ending. Thank you, Mark Edwards, for an excellent escape into the darkness.

Another fantastic book by a Mark Edwards! Literally could not put it down, read it all in one afternoon. So many twists, and a chillingly shocking ending

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Here to Stay by Mark Edwards.  This is a fast paced novel that will keep you reading into the night.  
Elliot is so happy with his new bride Gemma.  So when she asks if her parents and sister can move in with them, he quickly agrees.  Why not, Elliot loves Gemma. 
But Elliot gets more than he bargained for and soon it looks like they are here to stay, and he starts to wonder if he knows Gemma at all.
Good Book - Love Mark Edward's books!!
3,5 stars.

A new to me author, I was excited to read Here to Stay as the synopsis sounded intriguing! It caught my attention from the get go and I wondered throughout how things would pan out.

It was definitely a book I wanted to finish and keep reading, but it frustrated me so much too. The characters are very unlikeable, some obviously so, but even the main character of Elliott Foster seemed such a wimp and totally under the thumb of his inlaws. The plot seemed very far fetched at times and I spent a lot of the read worrying about the poor cat!

The book picked up at the end and Elliott finally stood up for himself! There was even a slight twist that I wasn’t expecting so that definitely put my rating up a little. Mark Edwards seems like a good writer and this book wouldn’t put me off reading some of his other books - I just hope they have a bit more suspense and intrigue compared with this one.

Absolutely loved this book! A really clever and original thriller that had me feeling a little bit scared at points, which doesn't often happen. Character development is very strong, and the author builds up a real sense of tension and unease with each chapter. Loved the fast pace of the book, as well as the really unexpected twists and turns - I'll certainly be reading more from Edwards in the future!

This book made me uncomfortable. 

What a bunch of horrible people. I hate to see someone decent being taken advantage of. I just felt so bad for Elliot. Many reviewers state that he is a doormat, no spine, blah blah. He was in love with Gemma so it’s not that easy as throw the in-laws stuff in the driveway and change the locks. Why those three have any stuff to begin with is strange (not one of the three held any type of job). 

This then went from being odd to going off the deep end. There were so many things that were not possible, could not happen (from a legal standpoint) that this became ridiculous. 

I finished it so there’s that. The writing is fine and the characters are well developed (though awful humans). It was sad and not really the story for me. 

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Amazon Publishing UK for a copy in exchange for a review.

Thank you Netgalley, Mark Edwards and Amazon Publishing UK for giving me the great pleasure of reading this book.

I absolutely love Mark Edwards he is my favourite author. So I couldn't contain my excitment when I got the chance to read his new book. 

This is a nightmare that many people do not want to come true but it happened to Elliot and Gemma. I was hooled all the way through and I really liked the dark twists and turns, many people have said that they new what was going to happen at the end, but I didn't have a clue. Was I the only one that didn't know what was coming?

Thank you Mark for giving us readers another fantastic book. It is hard for me to pick my favourite out of the ones that I have read so I won't, I like them all. I look forward to reading your other books that I have on my shelf and the books that you have yet to write. 

I would definitely recommend this book. I think it is perfect for a book club, it will certainly get people talking and asking questions.

I have never hated characters in a book so much in my life!!!  And that is a compliment to Mark Edwards. 

Elliot, an only child, was orphaned at 18.  Despite this he has made a good life for himself and after selling off his start up he invests in a beautiful Victorian house in London; lovingly restoring it to its former glory.  However, he is lonely living with just his cat, Charlie, and after a very short whirlwind romance with Gemma they marry in Las Vegas.  Shortly after this the in laws come to stay.  Finally they big family he has always wanted but of course things are never what they seem …

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this psychological thriller by Mark Edwards.  I haven't read anything by him before but I will definitely be picking up his other novels as Here to Stay was absolutely fantastic.  The characters were brilliantly written and really fleshed out.  I sympathised with Elliot so much - I got angry and upset with him - I just wanted to reach into the book and punch someone's lights out!!!

If love psychological thrillers then I highly recommend giving this a go.

Blimey, this wasn’t what I expected from the blurb...! 
It takes a lot to creep me out but this book did just that. If you want to read a book that keeps you guessing the whole way through and scares you a little, this is it! In places it was a little predictable but I genuinely didn’t care.
Gripping, tense and thrilling. Mark Edwards is truly amazing

What a ride...

This book was pretty interesting, to say the least. At first, I didn't think I liked it very much because It was so frustrating, then I realized, duh! that's the whole point! This book Has the most frustrating and unlikeable characters that I have ever read! You think your inlaws are bad? Try again. This book took turns I never imagined and by the end it had me shaking my head at every page. I could feel the tension building each chapter and by the end, I thought I might explode! Twists I didn't see coming, a few that I did. Not a full five stars just because I felt that it was a little bit too long and some parts unnecessary. But man the flow of this was beautiful. My biggest pet peeve in thrillers is a rushed ending and this one was perfect!

This was a very entertaining book! Imagine finding the love of your life, and then the in-laws from hell moves in.... The in-laws did everything they could to make poor Elliott's life a misery. The way Elliott dealt with the squatters was creative and made for very thrilling reading (no spoilers).  I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end!
Highly recommended.

WOW. Every time I read a Mark Edwards book it becomes my new favourite by him. This was no exception. It's gripping, thrilling and leaves you feeling a flurry of emotion throughout. It's also given me a new respect for my in laws. Highly recommend, Mark is a genius!

Hooked from the very beginning.
Gripping thriller, with great characters and a brilliant concept for a story.
Loved this and highly recommend to all, will be looking out for other books by this author.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher.   Wow what a fantastic book.  I have never read anything from this author before and did not realise what I have been missing.  Would highly recommend.

Wow!! 5 stars to Mark Edward's. I've read many of his books and not one has disappointed me yet. Felt likening was loving in the nightmare of this one. It draws you in! And the twist!!! I honestly never saw that coming was brilliant.
