Thank you for letting me read this great book! Full of twists and turns and it was interesting reading it from both character’s perspective. I agree with another review it would make a fab tv show!

A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. I enjoyed this story very much and felt like I knew each character personally due to the description of them. I enjoyed the storyline. This is not my usual genre but in this instance I am extremely pleased and grateful for opening up my mind to something totally different. Thanks again.

This book is screaming out to be made into a tv series, it’s amazing! 
I devoured this book in one sitting and couldn’t put it down. 
It’s a fantastic psychological thriller centred around a nightmare daughter-in-law. This book is delightfully dark and very well written. I’d definitely recommend.

Loved it! I read a lot of this genre and lately have been left a bit deflated but this got me out of that rut and had me gripped from the onset,. the book has two main narrators being Bella and Ben and you get to hear the same events twice but from both viewpoints along with sub characters which add some more to the story. The main twist came half way through which I hadn't guessed and you then see how this develops into a great story. This would make such a good tv mini series and I cant wait to read more from this author.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

Great book and so believable too. Incredibly sad, but the emotion just drew me in even more! Loved it!

Fun but flawed, "She" delivers a nightmare daughter in law with a devastating motive.

There were quite a few aspects which required a suspension of disbelief. While abusers are exceptionally good at isolating their victims, this seemed heavy handed. A little subtlety would have elevated this to the next level. Telling the story from both perspectives made it repetitive where a different approach would have built stronger characters.

Still, overall this was a good read.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC without obligation.

She is a gripping read. One of the best books I have read for ages.  Couldn't put it down.
This is a tense story where I felt almost as involved with Ben and Bella as they are with each other. A tight thriller,  bunny boiler style, with an unpredictable ending.  Highly recommended.

This has got to be one of the best psychological thrillers I've read in a very long time. It starts with Ben who after splitting with his long term girlfriend meets the glamorous Belle who soon fools him into her web of deceit, revenge & lies despite his family & friends reservations. Her motives are finally revealed with an amazing rollercoaster of an ending. Loved every word of this fast paced book and look forward to reading what the author writes next. I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

This is quite a strange book - the Prologue starts where Jo and Peter respond differently having met their son Ben's new girlfriend, Bella. From the beginning Bella is controlling and wants to isolate Ben from his family but that is only the start of this tale which is described as a psychological thriller. I am not convinced that this describes this book accurately. It certainly makes for uncomfortable reading in many places. Having said that the plot is a clever one but Bella is an unpleasant, narcissistic character and Ben is lacking any backbone, too good to be true.
Many thanks to Netgalley/HC Warner/HQ for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

Absolutely loved this book! reading from many points of views of characters and seeing the other side of the story and thought processes. brilliant read, story line was interesting and gripping and i could not put it down!
this author is becoming a fast favorite of mine!

This book has been all over Instagram so I was very excited to get an advanced copy of this via netgalley. 

The book is split into two parts; the first is set from Ben’s perspective and the second part told by Bella. I loved this concept and was intrigued as to how it would work. Unfortunately, I found it disappointing as felt that it was just the same story being repeated again - I didn’t glean any new information from Bella’s perspective and it just made me even more infuriated with her!

If the author’s aim was to make us angry with the characters, then she succeeded! I really despised Bella and I found myself getting angry with Ben, as opposed to feeling sorry for him. The relationships between the characters was predictable and although it covers the big issue of domestic violence, I felt the whole book was a little flat. The twist at the end was surprising but don’t feel that it makes the book any more appealing.

Sublime twists and a truly disturbing character made this a great, quick read because I wanted to see how it would all unravel! I love a story told from different points of view and this one did not disappoint- unlike some where you fly through one POV just to get back to the one you are attached to, both Ben and Ella have you engaged and intrigued throughout. Having never read any of this author’s work, I can’t wait to see what else they have to offer!

She was a fab thriller, I’ve not read anything before by HC Warner but I will be looking out in the future for more.
Ben has split from longtime girlfriend, Charlotte, and very quickly meets Bella, and very quickly his life changes more than he ever thought possible. Within months they are living together, pregnant and married, it’s definitely a whirlwind romance but are things as loved up as the couple want you to believe? The first part is told from bens POV and the second is from Bella’s, this works really well as you get to know the characters really well. 
This book was very well written with a lot happening on what seemed to be every page, there are a lot of intricately twisted secrets and lies that spiral out of control. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and flew through the pages.
I would like to thank Netgalley and HQ for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this book!

Psychological thriller which was both very subtle yet very direct. Great anticipation levels throughout. Wondering where this was going to go, the first third of the book is a story told from the viewpoint of one of the main characters...interesting enough but, from that point, the same story is repeated from the viewpoint of the other main character...mindblowing revelations...and from this point I was totally hooked! Don't want to spoil anybody's enjoyment, so not going into storyline, however it is a very worthwhile addition to your book pile if you like a well written, suspenseful thriller...few nice twists throughout too!

Brilliant escapism that I could not put down as it kept you gripped all the way through until the end, the characters were brilliant as was the writing. This was an easy 5-star read that I loved.

Wow! What a book. I started this last night when I got into bed.....and finished it the early hours of the morning. I couldn’t put it down. This is an excellent read that keeps the reader completely gripped. Told from Bens perspective first followed by Bellas. Parts of this were repetitive but absolutely needed to be to tell the story. 

There’s so much I want to say but don’t want to give spoilers. I need my friends to read this now so I can talk about it. Absolutely amazing book dealing with some sensitive subjects. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.

This was a fantastic book to read, so twisty which is what I love about these types of books. It gripped me from the word go right up until the very last page and I really didn’t know how it was going to end.
Yet again another new author discovered thanks to NetGalley, without whom I probably wouldn’t have picked this book up until might later and maybe not at all.
This book is definitely a must read for fans of thrilling books with a twisty feel to it.
My thanks goes to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

This was such a great marketing gimmick it sucked me in a treat. But with great gimmicks you also need a great story to back it up. Fortunately this has all that and more.

The first part is told from Ben’s perspective and introduces us to all his family and friends. Ben is an all round ” nice guy” who is feeling low after his girlfriend Charlotte gets the commitment wobbles and decides she needs space. Out for a drink with his best friend Matt he meets Bella and a very quick relationship develops. As controlling relationships go she slowly starts to cut him off from his family and friends and Ben is walking on eggshells around her erratic behaviour.

Then you turn it over and get to Part Two told from Bella’s perspective. What a shock and a revelation that was. Bella is very high on my list of favourite characters. She is evil, manipulative, clever and twisted. I love women like that in books.

The author has really highlighted domestic abuse and the subtle forms it can start with. To also make the abuser female and show how deviously she used her looks and female charms to get away with it while also blaming hormones was a refreshing change.

One warning do not start this book unless you have time to finish it as it’s so deliciously gripping you won’t be able to put it down.

I loved this book and it definitely keeps you gripped.  A new author for me to look out for.
Thoroughly recommended.

Wow , wow , wow , loved this book . Right up my street . I couldn’t put this down from start to finish, loved the characters even the evil one . It was a harrowing read at times but that’s life and what really does happen in the real world . I’m pleased with the ending ,I was so involved with the characters im glad the ending was as I’d hoped. I will be reading more from this author
