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

This was such a great read, enjoyed it thoroughly, i was hooked from the first page, great storyline and loads of twists and turns , highly recommend this book x

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!

Julia's husband is dead.  It was unexpected, leaving her reeling and her daughter, Tash,  broken.  She had always been a daddy's girl. What the daughter doesn't know is that Julia and her husband had planned on divorcing before his untimely death.

Beginning to see the light, the two spend some time at their beach cottage.  That's when things begin to happen.

Julia spots a young boy peeking into their cottage.  When she approaches him, he takes off running, and falls leaving him with serious injuries.  Being a doctor, she saves his life. But what she discovers leads to a lot of questions.

Why was he watching them?  Why does he have her husband's watch in his bag?  Julia wants to believe it must have been a simple theft .... but an ominous arrival in the post confirms her suspicion that there is more to it than meets the eye.

The storyline is mysterious, a little scary, with deftly drawn characters.  There are chapters told by an unknown person,  leaving one to wonder what was really happening.  

Many thanks to the author / Amazon Publishing UK / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological thriller.  Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

I find it little bit creepy and strange but very interesting and exciting. The writing was very good.

Stunning novel that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. I am adding this author to my favorite list

The twists kept coming for this book! I enjoyed the way it kept me guessing... but it quickly became a bit of a joke and I found myself totally disbelieving anything that was happening. It was fun and twisty but not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination.

What a terrific read! I was hooked from the beginning.  Julia, the main character, is a physician who lost her husband. She comes upon a boy who is near her home, injured and saves him.  What happens after is a lot of lies, love and betrayal. And I couldn't be happier! Throw in a few twists and call it a day! Loved it!

This story was slow in the middle and hard to get sucked into. Once the twist was revealed, it was easier to grow fond of the boy! Overall it was good but not a book I would recommend,

A gripping psychological thriller that had me guessing and second guessing for most of the book.  
I had no preconceptions or expectations from this book but absolutely loved it.  I’m now on the look out for more from this author.

"Would you know if someone was watching you?"
Would you blindly follow someone off the cliff?
Would you help a troubled person in need especially one with a mental illness and or drug addiction?
Lessons are meant to be learned.
What if you are simply too gullible and believe everything you are told?
I have a saying for those who fall for the trap, remember that even fool's gold shines...especially with regards to personality trait disorders such as narcissism.
So with this said lets begin -Shall we?!
This started off as a fresh new perspective on a unique situation.
One in which Julia's husband passed away suddenly, a young 'London' boy is found on the beach, and his bag has something not only of monetary value but of significant value to her.
Now the million dollar question is how did this young man named Kane (Cain as in the bible - "intelligent warrior") have been able to possess such an item.
The only clues are the 'butterfly tats' on his wrist.
Was it a theft? Is he a stalker? Is there much more than meets the eye?
You know as a 'kept woman' myself as termed so lovely by my ex husband I learned to not only survive but after I left spread my wings and fly.
I enjoyed the significance of the moth and butterfly and the direct tie ins to the characters actions especially with regard to the cocoon stage, the formation, the flying away in the end.
It's all leading to one main point- Survival!
In the end, it's all that's needed to survive but once escaped it's about thriving.
Here we have ironically both. The need to belong. The need to be heard. The need to be loved.
What tangled webs we weave.
'Like a moth to a flame.'
In the end you can full some of the people some of the time but in the end; Karma -comes a knocking!
This is worth more than 5 stars but I cannot provide them all so safe to say - READ THIS ONE STAT!
I hope you enjoy.
Thank you to Lynne for her amazing writing skills and her pub for bringing her to us.
A great weekend read...
