Great novel that kept me hooked throughout. Really enjoyed getting to know all the characters particularly Jonah. Thanks for the opportunity to read.

Chilling, thrilling, gripping, emotionally involving, jumpy, creepy, and utterly unputdownable. If you love a good physiological thriller then this one is definitely for you.

This story follows Jenny who has moved to an old house on Blackheath. For me I gave up after about 20% as I found myself skimming pages. Not for me.
Thank you to netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review

Yikes! Jenny thinks her new home will be a haven but it's not. Nothing here is what it appears to be at first. A good fast paced read.

Absolutely nothing is as it seems in this book. It starts off slow, but just as soon as you have it figured out, you get surprised again. Recommended.

The book had loads of twists and turns and I really liked Joss' style of writing. The characters were well written and the story flowed with shocks at times. I really enjoyed reading this and cannot wait for others by this author.

The Silence by Joss Stirling was a chilling psychological thriller, with lots of twists and turns throughout I was hooked from the very first few pages. This is a novel that will stay with me for a long time and I highly recommend it, especially as Joss Stirling is a new author to me and I will be reading more of her books in the future.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper Impulse/Killer Reads for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I grew up not far from Blackheath and could visualise the old atmospheric house. A wonderful story that had me turning the pages from start to finish. I must admit to not being fond of stories that switch from past to present, but it was done so well in 'The Silence' that it didn't matter. It is the first time that i have read a book by Joss Stirling and am sure it will not be the last. I would recommend giving this book a try.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review, voluntarily given.

A chilling phone call starts the intense suspense of this book and the on goings at Gallant House. The story is told in past and present which tells you the history of the house and the current story of one of its tenants, Jenny. . Jenny is unable to speak after a tragedy occurred to her years before. The story was easy to follow and I never once got bored with it. I enjoyed every second of this psychological thriller. This is my first book by Joss Stirling and will definitely be reading more of the author's work.



I was given an ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review.

Really enjoyed this book, having read all of Joss Stirling's YA titles and loved them, I found this much different and quite shocking but also loved it.
I liked how the story was told from different perspectives and how it all weaved together.

This book is really good! Sometimes its predictable and a few times it slowed but overall it was a good read.

Some difficult themes are covered here and the book is creepy in the extreme, but well written, with enough twists to keep the reader interested.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A young woman moves into an old, creepy house. The owner is an elderly woman who was a dancer until rheumatoid arthritis ended her career. The other tenant is annex con with a tragic past. This story is told as Jacob is questioned for a crime - now and a year previous.
I liked the narrative- the house even contributed her history. Decent plot, moved along and likeable characters.

Thank you Netgalley for the Arc in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and are completely unbiased.

Well hello there Joss Stirling! Where have you been all these years? You brilliant author you. No seriously this book triggered all emotions.... Completely sucks you in and takes you for one heck of a rollercoaster ride, with its twist and turns.

Told in past and present, which weaves together to fit perfectly - like watching Cinderella put on her glass slipper. I can’t get into giving a summary because I won’t stop and I refuse to spoil such a great Conclusion; you’ll thank me :)

Enjoy
