An interesting read. I ran into personal problems so it took me longer than planned to read this. Kept me interested though and will recommend.

I’d seen a few reviews for this book but decided to read it and review it myself. I’m so glad I did.
This book has lots of twists and turns I guessed a few but other guesses where way off.
And even the ending wasn’t what I thought
Great read
Thanks NetGalley

Sorry, but this one wasn't for me and I couldn't finish. That said, give it a try. Other reviewers really liked it.

Urgh, this was a disappointment. The premise sounds awesome, I was so looking forward to this. I really felt like this would be awesome and perfect for me, it sounds like my cup of tea! But no, I was bored, i didn't care and I found myself skipping over words and skimreading at best. An almost DNF.

I am sorry to say this, but this was not my favorite book. I feel with all the different storylines I had a hard time keeping up at times and got a little confused more than once. I appreciate the attempt at tackling suicide and psychological issues, but I feel like not enough research went into this bold effort. I felt like the book had too many characters added without really being able to flesh them out properly. I am sorry to say this, as I said before, but this was not my favorite, and while my library would buy this due to demand, I would not recommend it personally to my friends as their only read by this author. I look forward to reading more of her work in the future. Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When a killer chooses you, what choice do you have?
Thirty years ago, Elise and Nathaniel shared a horrific trauma that united them in grief. Now, grown up and married with a young family, they feel their worst nightmares are behind them. Until the day their daughter is abducted and murdered.
Both Elise and Nathaniel lost their mothers to a notorious killer who manipulated innocent victims into taking their own lives. Could it be that ‘the Watcher’ has returned for another round of the same sadistic game? Why now? And why are Elise and Nathaniel being targeted again?
When Elise’s family falls under suspicion, her world crashes down around her. Is there anyone she can trust, or is her whole life built on lies?
Only one thing is clear: someone left their cruel game unfinished all those years ago. This time the Watcher intends to win – once and for all.

This is a good read but at times confusing and clumsy.
Good well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start but then became a bit confusing.
Liked the characters and could have engaged better if the story line had not became confusing..
Good suspense and action with lots of twists and turns.
I will check out what the author brings us next.
Recommend reading.

I was provided an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher.  This is my own honest voluntary review.

Thankyou to NetGalley,  Amazon Publishing UK and the author,  Gayle Curtis, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of I Choose You in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion. 
I thought this book provided a good quick.  It was well written and has you guessing. 
Worth a read for fans of the genre

Couldn't finish this. Confusing, erratic, not a clear plotline and too many tangents. Couldn't get into it and found myself skipping pages.
Sorry, I really thought I'd like this one!

An original story, or stories, of one family whose past includes so many horrible events they should have their own page in Ripley's Believe it or Not!  But oddly, Gayle Curtis has taken all of these strings and woven them into a very good, totally engrossing story.  You will find yourself saying...just one more chapter so many times, you will finish the book in the wee hours of the morning.  A 5 star read that has me looking for more books by this author.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning. It does have a lot of characters, but most are well developed  and necessary to the story.  The book gets a little confusing at times, switching back and forth like it does, but this keeps you guess in as to who the killer is and if what crimes they are guilty of. Look out for the twist at the end. This is not an easy beach read, but a book full of suspense and mystery.

What started off as a pacy narrative, soon became awkward and “clunky”. I felt slightly confused by the array of characters and their different backgrounds and, combined with the dual time-line, think these complications made this a cumbersome, unexciting read.

This was a fascinating thriller that kept me up past my bedtime. Excellent character development along with a twisty story. Highly recommended.

I Choose You by Gayle Curtis was a book I tried really hard to get into. Sadly I gave up half was through. Sorry.
I found the story of  Elise and Nathaniel all over the place. There were too many characters within this book that didn't fit in and it was a messy read throughout. 
Sorry Gayle, especially as I was looking forward reading this new book by you. 

PS...I hate giving a bad review and stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow what a read! I loved this book. The plot thickened with every page turned. The suicide killer needs to be found but who is he? A brother? A father? A grandfather? An uncle? A stranger? Things are not always what they seem, and that is very true for this book. I could not put it down. Highly recommend it

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC! This book has a whole lot happening. The premise was really interesting and I was excited to get into it... But it pulled me all over the place. There are a lot of characters (too many so it confused me)  and many different storylines. Personally, I really saw the intent here to throw you off of "who done it" by having so much happening, but it ended up being too much and  I felt it didn't flow well. I would be willing to try another Gayle Curtis book though!

A very twisted lifestyle with strange characters inhabiting the story but so twisted that it has to be true. Elise and Nathaniel three kids and though life is a bit strange it all goes completely ballistic when their daughter is abducted and then found murdered.

What follows is a story of suicide, suicide watchers, promotion of suicides and with no apparent detective/police follow up as to the series of coincidences where people took their lives and nothing happened. 

The book is confusing and though I thought I knew who was behind the killings, I was not absolutely sure. There are a lot of clues strewn around and the subject matter is so emotional in itself that I was floundering. 



The story was a good one albeit confusing.

It’s it often I don’t like a book but unfortunately this was one of them.  The author put too much into one novel and it was too much.   It started as a family recovering from the murder of a child and added in missing children, serial killers, pornography, and a cast of characters that was just too vast.  The main characters married couple and parents Elise and Nathaniel weren’t likeable in anyway.
Thanks to Amazon publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a strange story! With the jumping timelines and POVs, I had a little bit of a hard time keeping up. 

Things definitely were not as I thought they would be. This story was fairly unpredictable and I enjoyed that. Though, the stuff that was unpredictable seemed to come out of left field. 

I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a good psychological read. You’ll spend the whole book trying to figure it out.
