Emily Jacobs sister, Zoe, went missing from a hospital nearly a year ago. As a result Emily’s mental health has suffered and she is only now feeling ready to return to work. She is starting work as a nurse in a Private hospital but just after starting she has an operation to remove a lump in her breast. After the operation she awakes in the middle of the night to see a girl on her ward being worked on my several members of staff, one of which injects Emily with a substance that makes her instantly sleep.

The next morning Emily wakes to find alone on the ward. Where did the girl go ? No-one else saw the girl and the staff Emily talks to deny there ever being anyone else on the ward but Emily is convinced she didn’t imagine her. Everyone she speaks to thinks Emily is suffering with her mental health again but was the girl really there and if so where is she now ?

A book full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing. Some great characters, especially Emily and the detective Geraldine, who believes in Emily and doesn’t give up.

Thank you to Bonnier Zaffre and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book.

This book had a very shocking first few paragraphs and I always believe this ingredient is key for psychological thrillers to really grip me as a reader and make me invested in finding out what’s happened.

I felt so frustrated on behalf of the lead character Emily, it seems that no one believes her and instead go out of their way to make her feel even more crazy and detached from reality. It was a frustrating read, but at the same time intriguing from a readers perspective because you want to know why it is everyone seems to be colluding against her.

I was a little disappointed with the ending as I had high expectations that it was going to finish with a bang and that I was going to be really surprised but unfortunately I wasn’t. Having said that, everything is wrapped up nicely and there are no annoying sections which were left unexplained which is sometimes the case in psychological thrillers.

I thought the writing came across really solid, the author clearly knows her stuff when it comes to medical procedures that nurses would be expected to perform. Overall this was an enjoyable psychological thriller read and it kept me interested throughout.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I was looking forward to this, having really enjoyed Liz Lawler's previous book, but I struggled to engage with this one. Although the plot was interesting, I found the story difficult to follow, although the final few chapters, for the most part, were gripping and interesting. That said, the final revelation felt a bit rushed. I liked the characters, and feel that Lawler skillfully wrote her antagonists so that, at least with one of them, I did feel sympathy towards them.

Great novel. Kept me hooked from start to finish. Enjoyed seeing the development of the characters and would love to read more of Liz’s books.

After thoroughly enjoying Liz Lawler’s previous book Don’t Wake Up, I was terribly excited to get to this one. Sadly, I was left rather disappointed.

It started off brilliantly with one of the most fabulous prologues I’ve ever read. But the tension the prologue created was soon lost in the chapters that followed. The storyline felt quite predictable and I disliked the fact that other points of view would pop up in a paragraph, instead of another chapter. It made things a bit confusing at times.

The premise of a missing girl and the unreliable narrator has been done many tiles before. It’s hard to find refreshing ways of doing it. I didn’t particularly like Emily either, couldn’t quite connect to her and so was unable to muster up any sympathy for her, or even care about her or the things she was going through.

Sadly then, this book didn’t work for me but it hasn’t put me off reading something else by this author in the future.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers and also Pigeonhole for the book in exchange for a review.
It was a well written, psychological thriller and had plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. It would also make you a bit concerned if you needed an operation any time soon!

MY REVIEW

Emily Jacobs’ sister, Zoe, had disappeared some months before and Emily has been searching relentlessly ever since. This had affected her mental health and her therapist is trying to help her recover fully. As a result she is to return to work as a Nurse, after a small operation to remove a lump in her breast.

While she is recovering from her op, she witnesses a young girl ‘dying’ in her room, but nurses and doctors convince her this was just a dream, the result of anaesthetic, but Emily is not so sure.

Here begins Liz Lawler’s marvellously tense, gripping and twisty tale that will keep you guessing and on edge as the tension builds. Is Emily hallucinating, is her mental health declining again, is Zoe still alive, or is something more unbelievably tragic happening ?...Thank goodness for Geraldine, the detective that just doesn’t give up. The ending will leave you broken.....


I would like to thank the Author/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for free in exchange for a fair and honest review

Liz Lawler certainly knows how to write a first chapter that is going to hook you and terrify you at the same time!
I thought her last book’s first chapter was the most horrifying thing I’d ever read, but this one will give you nightmares! I was actually gripping onto the duvet in sheer fright whilst reading this first chapter!
All the way through the book it keeps you guessing and not knowing what is going on. It is very similar to her first book, in the way the protagonist is made to look crazy and you start to doubt her. The story is very different, though.
I was convinced it was going to be a five-star read, but the ending let me down a bit. It seemed rushed and not very well thought out. It pulled everything together and answered all the questions but I just finished it thinking oh was that it? I was expecting to be shocked and blown away, but it just fell short. I’m not saying it wasn’t a gripping read, as I was still awake at 2 am reading it last night wanting to know what had happened, but it just left me wanting something different from the story. It still gets a solid four stars, though!

Hmm I don't really know how to review this title. I loved Liz's previous novel and this one sounded great. The first half was, but then it felt like it dropped off a cliff! I cannot fathom it at all!

Found this book disappointing after such a promising start. Loved the previous book by this author but sadly this one just wasn’t for me.

I'll Find You gripped me at the start but sadly it all fell apart. Nothing about this story is realistic and the only positive is I only wasted a few hours reading this.
I almost threw my kindle across the room when I reached the final 10% of this book, seriously Liz this is how you end a story? Disappointing, dramatic and predictable.
