A decent story although I did feel it dragged a bit at times. Could do with less chapters. Has amazing potential if cut down a bit

I had been looking forward to reading this one. But was left disappointed. A lot was hard to read and left me feeling like I did t want to pick it back up. It was tedious and uninteresting sadly

Julia, mom to a teenage daughter Tash, is surfing when she sees a boy near her home. As she goes near him, he takes off running and seriously injuring himself. Julia, being a physician, saves him until they are rescued by helicopter. Julia has no idea who the boy is, and why he is near her home. The only identifier on him is a butterfly tattoo on his wrist. Things get even stranger for Julia when she find's her late husband's watch in the boy;s bag. Tash and Julia then realize a series of strange events, and realize they are being watched. But why? Are they in danger?

I enjoyed this book. It started a little slow, but then really picked up and pulled me in. I thought Julia was a refreshing female protagonist. She's smart, strong, and successful, which makes the reader root for her. The inclusion of the moths and their scientific classification also added some originality to this story. The ending is twisty and not predictable.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the chance to review and read.

An interesting read that is suppose to make the reader think about all the twist and turns thrown at them. "Can you See Me?" delivers the suspense and mystery pretty well. The characters are believable and well received. The pacing was steady and there wasn't too many areas where the pacing lagged.
It's pretty much a classic tale of finding out more than you bargain for about a person you thought you knew. Conspiracy or not; "Can You See Me?" delivers. A page turner from start to finish.

Thank you NetGalley. Amazon Publishing UK and Lynne Lee for the chance to read this book. Julia is coming back from surfing when she sees a young man by her cottage. She approaches and he takes off running, falling over a cliff and seriously injuring himself. She saves his life and what follows is a twisted tale that Julia can’t seem to grasp. This book has wonderful characters with Julia being my favourite. She is strong and determined and will do anything to find out the truth while protecting her daughter. The book alternates chapters with one being a cryptic chapter about moths which is seen from the villains eyes. Although I realized what the significance of the moths are it detracted from the story and made those chapters boring and irrelevant. I loved the twists but it became a bit far fetched with who the villain was. It was a good book and suspenseful but the moth chapters and the identity of the villain made it a bit disappointing.

Julia, who has just recently lost her husband David, is surfing one morning when she spots a young boy snooping outside her beach cottage. When the boy suffers a serious injury, Julia manages to get help and save him. But who is he and why was he spying on her home?

When her daughter Tash - heartbroken by her fathers' death remembers a string of strange incidents, Julia realises they are being watched. Desperate to uncover the truth, Julia wants to discover the boys' identity and who has eyes on them.

I enjoyed this one but it took me around 70ish pages before I clicked with the story. It was well written and well-paced but it was just ok. I found the book a little tedious at times and found my attention slipping but it was worth a read.

After her husband died, Julia not only had to contend with her own grief, but also that of her daughter, Tash. After six months, the two women think they may finally be able to move on, but the arrival of a strange young man changes all that. Julia saves the boy’s life, but she’s shocked to discover her late husband’s watch among the boy’s things. Tash begins to recall odd incidents that she had not given much thought to at the time they occurred, but now seem ominous. Julia and her daughter have to uncover the truth about what really happened, even if they may regret it later.
