Emily Shiner’s I'm Following You is a tense and twisty psychological thriller that explores themes of obsession, revenge, and hidden secrets. The story follows Amanda, a successful doctor with what appears to be a perfect life—until she notices a mysterious woman in a red car stalking her. As the stalking escalates into invasive actions, Amanda’s seemingly idyllic world begins to unravel, leaving her terrified and desperate to understand why she is being targeted.

Shiner excels at creating a suspenseful atmosphere, drawing readers into Amanda’s paranoia and fear as the stalker’s behavior becomes increasingly threatening. The dual perspectives of Amanda and her stalker, Collette, add depth to the narrative, allowing readers to understand both women’s motivations and emotional states. This layered storytelling enhances the tension as secrets are revealed and past traumas come to light.

The pacing of the novel is fast and engaging, with twists and surprises that keep readers guessing until the final pages. Shiner’s ability to weave psychological complexity into the plot ensures that the story remains compelling throughout. The shocking conclusion delivers a satisfying payoff, tying together the threads of deception and obsession in an unexpected way.

While the book leans heavily on familiar tropes within the thriller genre—such as unreliable narrators and cat-and-mouse dynamics—it does so with finesse. Shiner’s writing style is accessible yet gripping, making this an easy read for fans of suspenseful thrillers.

The exploration of grief and revenge adds emotional weight to the story, particularly through Collette’s perspective. Her actions, while disturbing, are rooted in relatable pain, which makes her character both unsettling and sympathetic. This complexity elevates the novel beyond a standard stalker thriller.

In conclusion, I'm Following You is an addictive and well-crafted psychological thriller that will appeal to fans of twisty narratives and dark secrets. Emily Shiner delivers a gripping tale that keeps readers hooked until its shocking finale. If you enjoy suspenseful stories with layered characters and unexpected endings, this book is worth adding to your reading list.

When faced with a tragic event, it is not impossible for your imagination to run wild. 

You are so consumed with grief that you can no longer distinguish imagination and reality.

You are convinced that injustice has happened and that you have to take justice into your own hands. You are determined to expose the perpetrator and ensure that they receive the appropriate punishment.

You have a perfect plan in mind, or at least you thought so ...

You feel the pain Collette feels, combined with the frustrations when everything doesn't go as she planned. On the other hand, you feel the fear growing in Amanda when she feels that the threat is getting stronger.

Will Collette reach her goal and will Amanda break under the pressure?

The suspense rises to the top and erupts in an explosive climax. The author gives us a last shocking revelation that continues to thrive for a long time.

If you thought it was all very clear, there was still some food for thought here.

A book that started as a spark ended in a firebox. 5 stars

Thank you

Amanda is a well respected doctor treating cancer patients and Collette’s sister was killed by a drunken driver. It’s taken an age to read this because I simply didn’t want to pick it up! Collette was so irritating that I had to skim read her parts. Plot holes didn’t really help. It was predictable with a hurried ending both of which I’m not terribly keen on. Maybe a follow on to right the wrongs? Now that would be interesting!

Really enjoyed this book. It's very creepy and full of suspense. A good twist at the end too. I'm fairly new to the author but will look out for more.

This book was so good! I could not put it down. I thought I had it all figured out and then that twist! I would definitely recommend this book.

An addictive psychological thriller that was very easy to get into. A great page turner with a dark undertone. I found the story to be very clever and I was completely stunned by the twist at the end. I liked how the reader got to experience the story from Amanda’s and Colette’s perspective, which made it more difficult to establish who the real villain of the story was. A really good thriller that I would definitely recommend. 4 stars from me.

Collette is trying to convince her younger sister Arabella to go out and meet new people rather than spend time with her. Collette wants the place to herself as she has someone coming round.

After Arabella leaves there is a knock at the door, the police tell her there's been an accident with a drunk driver and her sister is dead. Collette feels instantly guilty as she should have persuaded her sister to stay with her that night. Later she is told the drunk driver Courtney is dead but Collette refuses to believe this and wants to find her.

Amanda is a highly respectable doctor living in a beautiful neighbourhood but someone in a red car is stalking her. Amanda has no enemies so who wants to harm her?

This is a great psychological thriller, just when I thought I had this all worked out, a twist comes along tipping my notions upside down.

Can I just say ... the ending had a surprising twist that merited giving this book 5 stars!!!

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

This story was very addictive and dark. It's also a quick and easy book to read. Just when you think you have it all worked out, a twist comes along and sends you down a different route. There's lots of secrets and surprises. I didn't see the twist at the end coming. This is a well written and gripping read. The characters were well developed as well. I will be recommending this book!

A good psychological thriller overall. I'm following you is a real attention grabber. I loved the way it was two stories in one. It holds your interest, but the ending was kind of a letdown.
