Dead Again

This was a really interesting take on a psychological thriller. I spent a lot of the book thinking the author made all the characters a bit too suspicious to try and throw the reader off, but it ended up working out well in the end. Also, our MC may just be surrounded by shady, not good people. Four stars because I thought the book could’ve used a bit more subtlety when examining all the suspects, something to make the reader think more about the small things, rather than the glaring points of suspicion the author throws at you from each possible culprit. But perhaps that’s the magically Avenue the author chose to take for this thriller, which I can understand and appreciate now that I’ve read it in its entirety. Overall, I really enjoyed the premise and the mystery surrounding this woman’s death and the days leading up to it.

I enjoyed this book. It's got an unusual plot in a woman coming back from the grave to relieve the week's before her death. I thought that the author could have explored that angle more. I mean it is not until the very end of the book that you realize she's already been resurrected, if you will. While it is a good read as a strait mystery it is misleading in the description and the ending left me with things I didn't understand. However it is a good book. I recommend it.

A dark story of a woman returning from the dead a year later to solve her own murder brings a number of exciting twists. Can anyone be trusted in this tale of murder, betrayal and secrets? Is the woman who returned really Neve and what’s her link to a murdered woman twenty years ago? Neve must find her killer before she’s

Thank you to net galley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book it was a great experience first time reading anything from this author

Too much alcohol, affairs galore and a death or two. How would you feel knowing your partner was a cheat? Would you turn to drink? Cheat right back? Die and come back to life? Sounds far fetched but that is the very convincing story in this thrilling read, I enjoyed this book and would happily recommend it. And the ending will leave you shocked but no spoilers here!

In this frighteningly believable thriller from beginning to end A complex, emotionally intense novel…Fans of twisty domestic suspense novels will be rewarded.

I thought it would be hard to like a book where the main character makes you want to murder her yourself but I did.

This thriller is one of a kind. A murder mystery told by the victim back from the dead. From the first chapter the story takes off and sends you on one he'll of a ride.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book for my honest opinion.

I cannot tell you how many times I found myself yelling at my tablet because I was frustrated with the characters.
The storyline seemed to drag on and on. A lot of the content seemed to be just filler which I think something else would have been better placed in there.
All of the characters were beyond irratating. I mean Neve is constantly stalking her husband and he thinks she's cheating. He drinks alot but then so does Neve.
Everyone believes that there are aliens in the woods and you should never go in there. There are strange lights in the woods.
Neve is trying to find her killer.
I will give the author props for the plot twist, I did not see the ending coming!!!
I would recommend this book to all of my friends. Everyone at Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and my book club!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy of this book.

This book was very interesting. I found the more the read it, the more I wanted to know. It is a solid read. I love the suspense behind the novel and it did keep me on my toes. It was a very good thriller and I suggest picking up this book.

My Opinion
4 stars

*I received an electronic copy of this book via NetGalley and would like to thank the author and/or publisher for the opportunity to read and honestly review it*

I had a dream about being murdered after reading it before bed so I would say it stuck in my mind. Halfway through it was still ramping up and adding more stuff instead of resolving anything and I was wondering if the author would be able to wrap everything up. She did and I ended up rating it 4 stars because I couldn't stop reading it even though it wasn't really that great; it was more out of confusion and wanting to see how everything would come together.

There were a few groan-worthy lines, such as when she rang the buzzer at her lover's apartment and then thought, "In a few moments, I realize he'll be ringing my buzzer." There were also a few little typos that I feel like I should point out since I read it on NetGalley but I don't really hold against the author since I never know how much control they have over the formatting.

This review ended up being more negative than I actually feel about the book, probably because I didn't stop to make notes of anything I enjoyed (usually the case with mysteries since I want to avoid spoilers) and instead only noted things that took me out of the story. This book may not have fired on all cylinders for me but it was a quick read and I would read this author again.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were well developed. It had an interesting plot. I would be interested in reading more

I was given a copy of Dead Again by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The book is about Neve who goes back to the week before she was murdered to find out who killed her. I enjoyed this book although I did find Neve a little annoying at times. It's an unusual story but does make for a good psychological thriller.

Neve will be dead In a week. Who wants to kill her and why? Could it be her husband or one of her friends? She needs to know before they do it again. She is being stalked, her husband thinks she may be cheating on him. So many people who wish her harm. Are there aliens in the woods? Did they bring her back to life? So many plot twists. It is a thriller which will be leaving you guessing until the very end. I received this book from Net Galley and BooksGoSocial for a honest review. I voluntarily read this book.

This was a very good book. Very well put together awesome character building, would definatley recommend to others.

I received an ARC of this from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

If you like creepy psychological thrillers and strange UFO phenomena, this is a book for you. I can’t say I’ve read anything like it and I’m left with more questions than answers.
Never gets a second chance to solve her own murder. She takes the reader back through her last week alive and we are left trying to piece together a complicated and sometimes far fetched story. The author does a good job of portraying all the characters in a guilty light so you’re never really positive on who did it and why.
Great suspense, very interesting storyline. I’d read something from the author again.

Dead Again is really interesting. I loved the book and it kept me interested the entire way through. I just wish the author explained why the characters came back to life. Otherwise I really enjoyed it.

This was an interesting thriller with other worldly elements with well written if not likable characters. It is surrounding a teacher with her special needs teenage daughter and strained relationship with her husband and stepping out f said relationship having an affair. Ther is also the obsession of the woods, a ufo cult her daughter is obsessed with and holding onto sanity by a thread for multiple characters

Imagine finding out that you’re dead, but you find this out while you’re alive. Kind of twisted, right? In this psychological thriller, Neve lives the last week of her life time and time again, trying to find out who killed her and stop it from happening again.
Surrounded by shady people, Neve has her work cut out for her. First, there is her husband, Rick. And then there is her lover, Brad. And what about her daughter, Summer? Do any of them have a reason to kill her?

Jenny and Martyn, the brother and sister who are the head of a group of people that believe aliens are haunting the woods around where Neve lives—or lived—do they have a reason to want Neve to not be around any longer? And Summer is involved in this group even though her mom doesn’t want her to be.

Her friend, Claire, the one person Neve can really talk to, is she as good a friend as Neve believes she is? Does she really care what happens to Neve or is she just looking out for herself? Is Claire maybe tired of listening to Neve’s problems? Does she long for someone to listen to hers?

Her work friend and a teacher, Tom, wants to be there for her and to help her out a bit much for her to be comfortable around him. Is Tom tired of being rejected for Brad?

Is there anyone Neve can trust? Everyone has their own secrets. Neve learns that she can’t trust her first impressions and can’t trust just what she sees on the surface. To find out what happened to her and discover who hated her enough fo kill her, she has to dig deep.
