This was a good thriller. The story and characters were enjoyable. The ending was predictable which was a bummer. Overall good book. |
With time, I've come to expect a certain level of thrill from the books I read especially if they're presented as "a gripping thriller" or a psychological thriller. Unfortunately for me, this book didn't give me those thrills that I highly seek in a book. The story started off well but at a certain point and after numerous times when I thought "now comes the twist" the book instead got very predictable. The characters were good. I liked Kerry & Simon as characters & it would have been interesting to see nuances of the police work since the book was set in Belfast. however, this book was driven by Hannah & Julia. The plot sadly did not feel upto the mark of a psychological thriller. Thank You Netgalley, Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd & Rose McClelland for an arc! |

I think this book should come with trigger warnings for people who may be affected by the story. That being said, there were lots of twists in the book that made it hard to put down. However, the ending was easy to predict. |

A twisty thriller. Sure to keep you reading into the late hours of the night. Some trigger warnings but a great read for fans of thrillers. |
Thanks to Netgalley and Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd for the arc of this book. a 3 star read for me. Well written good structure' bit confusing at times but overall a good book. |
This is my first book by this author, so I didn't know her style of writing. It was kinda short but cleverly written story. The idea of the story it's not something new and it's okay, but the way it's written chapter to chapter it's wat make it interesting that makes you unable to put it down. Hannah goes missing & husband is the number one suspect, of course. At first, you think he’s a decent guy but nothing is wat it's seems. Tense and dark read but it's more than a thriller, it's rollercoaster of emotions because you looking to the domestic abuse from the microscope. Thank you Netgalley, author/ publisher for providing me with this ARC for my honest review. |
The first book I’ve read by this author, a short but enjoyable read that highlighted the terrible lives that domestic victims lead and the hardships and courage of leaving that life behind. The storyline itself was ok but rather far fetched in parts but the short chapters and the characters kept you want to keep reading |
When Kyle’s wife Hannah goes missing, the whole town is out in force to try to find her. One person knows where she is. One person is keeping a secret. This book had me hooked. Great thriller trying to find out who the bad guy is in this book. The author did a great job writing this novel. |

This dark and gripping domestic drama held me captive to the end. It’s a disturbing, unsettling portrayal of a toxic marriage and domestic abuse which raises the question, how well does anyone know anyone? An engrossing read. |
The book is engaging but the plot was pretty predictable. The book is spoken through 4 perspectives which at first was confusing but later makes more sense. Some details were very accurate regarding domestic violence but I feel the author could have added more detail. I do recommend the book overall it’s a nice easy read. |
Under Your Skin. A fantastic plot and well written characters... I was hooked! There’s some great scary scenes that really took my breath away! Then it went off the rails... I really wish it ended differently. I was left disappointed and can see I’m not the only one! |
A great thriller. But a mystery/ thriller almost. The work will keep you guessing and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat till the end. |
Thanks NetGalley for this book. Overall a good plot but I felt there was a little too much of the romance novel, albeit twisted, than I expected. Half way through I wanted to put this book down but persevered to the end. Would I recommend this. Not sure. However I am glad I finished the book as the writer did a good job of wrapping everything together for closure |

Thanks to Net Galley and Cameron Publicity Marketing Ltd for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review. Hannah is missing, her husband is the only suspect. The story features 4 female characters, Hannah, Kerry, Kate and Julia, they all play significant but different roles, Short sharp chapters which entice the reader to keep reading. The story definitely gets under your skin as the tension builds, however I found it fell a bit flat and was disappointing as the story continued. 3.5 stars |
I REALLY loved the premise of this book. Kyle comes home to find his wife missing. He calls 999 (British 911) to report her missing, but the investigation lags. He starts a campaign #FindHannah, and organizes searches for her throughout the woods. Meanwhile, Hannah’s in a basement, numbed with drugs and reading paperbacks to pass the time. If she wasn’t numb, she’d be terrified. Kerry is a rookie cop, investigating Hannah’s disappearance. Kate and Guy are a couple living a mostly happy domestic life. And Julia is a young woman with low self-esteem, out to help others, when she ends up joining the #FindHannah search. This book kept me SO riveted. The characters were well-developed and interesting, and the writing was quick and smooth. My only disappointment was the ending! I felt a little let down. Overall, though, I’m happy to recommend this to my thriller-loving friends. Thanks to NetGalley and darkstroke publishers for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review. |
The book is narrated by several characters which, as get deeper into the book, become a bit frustrating. The first part of the book was suspenseful and a page turner. There are other parts that seem to have no relation to the book, which really slowed things down and kept me on the look out for things that might happen, but nothing ever materialized, so I'm not sure why these bits were mixed in? Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. |
This was quite good. I love when a book throws a good twist that has you surprised and saying “I didn’t see that coming “. I must admit the ending was a bit disappointing. It just sort of fizzled out. |
3 Stars! Warning: Unpopular opinion time! Allow me to start off by saying that I really did like this story. I loved the multiple person narrative and the time hopping and I found the story to be extremely well written. Kyle reports his wife, Hannah missing. The story jumps back in time and is told in alternating perspectives. Hannah tells you how Kyle changed and how he starts being verbally abusive. The story comes back to the present and introduces you to Julia, who volunteered to help on a search for Hannah. Julia falls into Kyle's web and they begin seeing each other. I will stop here, as to not divulge too much. While reading this, I couldn't help but think of Gone Girl and The Last Mrs. Parrish and I kept waiting for there to be a delightful twist.....something.......ANYTHING.....unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that there wasn't one. A special thank you to NetGalley, Cameron Publicity & Marketing Ltd, and Rose McClelland for providing me with a reader copy. |
