Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, had to DNF this book. I really struggled to get into it and it just did not keep me interested. Not for me but hopefully others enjoyed it!

Julia is a single mom raising her daughter after the unexpected death of her husband. One day, Julia notices a boy nosing around her beach cottage and suddenly after a twisted turn of events, she has his life in her hands.
'
Suddenly strange things begin happening around Julia and her daughter and the race is on to discover the boy's identity and figure out how it's all connected.

This was a semi fast paced read that kept my attention as I was trying to determine how everything was connected and why Julia and her daughter were being targeted. I was able to guess the ending a bit earlier than I had hoped, but yet was still entertained throughout.

So gripping! A little weird at times with the moth references but that builds nicely. Kept me guessing all the way through and some good twists.

An interesting read and a twist wasn't expecting. Good characters, well written, interesting storyline. I would like to read more of Lynne's books. Recommended.

I love the cover of this novel and the inside. "Can You See Me" is an suspenseful novel by Lynne Lee. A page turner for sure.

I did not like this book that much. The story felt a bit unbelievable to me and the characters were way too blah.

I ended up not being able to finish this one due to the strangeness of the novel. It has nothing to do with the story and I will gladly recommend this book to readers who enjoy nontraditional plots. For me, the plot was a little to fantastical and unbelievable to wrap my mind around. I plan to try to finish this one again in the future and see if the ending explains some things. Thank you for opportunity to read this one!

A well written book with a great story that I loved and kept me guessing the whole way through. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

I enjoyed this book, the first from this author that I had read. The way the story unfolded was good, characters were relatable, the storyline kept me questing until the end.

Many thanks to netgalley and Lynne Lee for the advanced copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Really enjoyed reading this book. Enjoyed the way the relationships of the characters was highlighted by the end passages about the moths. Who knew there were so many different moths. I didn't see the end coming and ended up staying up very late so that I could finish it. Excellent.

Loved this. I will be reading more of her books (written under the name Lynne Barrett-Lee). I liked every character in this book. And I did not see the red herring. Very clever. 5/5.

Lots of mystery and twists and turns. I did find it highly unbelievable as the story unfolded... This isn't necessarily a bad thing but I do like to be engrossed in a thriller and this one just didn't do that for me. I'd be happy to give the author another chance to grip me though!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy.

Although I enjoyed this book as far as the suspense level and the way that it left you hanging I dont think there was any resolution as to what her issues were. It left way too much hanging.
I did like her style of storytelling though.

I'd heard mixed things about this one so I was pleasantly surprised when I got to it. I enjoyed it, it was easier to read than I'd heard and was worth the time

Overall this book was good but the writing style was different to books I ever read but I will recommend this book

Thanks to Lynne Lee and Amazon Publishing UK for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Would you know if someone was watching you?

In the dark days since the sudden death of her surgeon husband, Julia’s main worry has always been Tash. Her student daughter was broken—she worshipped her father. But six months on, Julia thinks the light is returning. She is about to find out that she’s wrong.

When she saves the life of a boy who’s been hanging around her beach cottage, the questions start. All she has to go on is the butterfly tattoo on his wrist, but who is he? What was he doing there? And why was her late husband’s watch in his bag? Julia wants to believe it’s a casual theft, but an ominous arrival in the post confirms her suspicion that there is more to it than meets the eye.

As Tash remembers a string of strange incidents she had previously brushed off, Julia realises they are both being watched. Someone’s been toying with them, trying to frighten them, but why?

Determined to protect her daughter, Julia races to discover the boy’s identity. But what she doesn’t realise is that the truth is right in front of her. Will she see it before it’s too late?

This one was very enjoyable and I couldn't put it down!
