The premise of this book had me hooked immediately, as I have a fascination with serial killer and therefore I thought I would be reading an exciting thrilling book. Unfortunately the excitement faded rather quickly and while I felt for Claire and her struggle through life having previously survived a serial killer, her storyline became monotonous.

There are a few twists and turns along the way, however nothing really happens until the end of the book and I feel that the ending was rather rushed and confusing.

This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Brilliant and twisty perfectly describes this thriller. Definitely worth a read if you like being on the edge of your seat. This one made me pick up his other books right after finishing.

Thankyou NetGalley, HQ Digital and the author, Darren O'Sullivan, for the opportunity to read a copy of Closer Than You Think 8n exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I can't believe I had this book in my TBR pile and not picked it up before now.
Such a good, easy read. The twists keep you hooked. 3.5 stars.
Wortha read.

I really loved this book in a new to me author. The characters and location really and to the story. I can't wait to read the next one. This book keeps you guessing until the end.

This was my first introduction to Darren O'Sullivan's books and already I'm on the lookout for more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book though it was something of a slow burner for me. This I felt was necessary though to enable to reader to get more of an insight into the daily struggles endured by Claire.

Recommended.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

A brilliant and twisty thriller! Easy to read and a great storyline. If you like a shocking storyline that you don't expect then pick this up guys!

I always find myself surprised when a thriller blows me away because I always think nothing can surprise me anymore. But here that's not the case. And I was schoked more than ever with the ending! It's just marvellous!

The author has this phenomenal way of thinking as his characters and you cannot but think to trust no-one and everyone.

He also paints the character of Claire like someone you should feel so many empathy towards.

Intensified story and all the dark and twisty happenings teach you to freak the hell out if you have a power surge. You will have a remembrance of this story for sure!

You are just trying so hard to connect all the dots, to figure out everything, to be proud of yourself for getting the twist and then you are thrown into a shock because you truly never sat that coming!

Ever since surviving The Black-Out Killer, Claire Moore has struggled with her new life. However, ten years on, her world comes crashing down when there’s another power cut and another victim. Whether it’s the killer or a copycat, Claire’s sure of only one thing … he’s coming for her.

Throughout the book I could tell where this story was going, and thought yeah 'it's pretty obvious who the Black-Out Killer is. However that last page completely threw me and the way it ended had me giving it 4 stars.

Thank you net galley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Fabulously tense, with twists I didn't see coming. The end twist was stunning. I couldn't stop reading and am really excited to see what the author comes up with next!

Intense and suspenful for the most part. There were parts I skimmed reading because I felt like it dragged on. But the twist at the end it worth it.

Thank you Netgalley and HQ Digital for the advance reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Slow at times but enjoyable. The author has definitely gotten stronger as he has developed and his writing style is really good for this genre.

A brilliant thriller - kept me guessing all the way through!
Once I thought I had it figured out - I quickly had another suspect. Claire - the woman who lived - a woman scared of everyone, everything, yet turns out to be a far stronger woman than she believes she is. Ten years after a serial killer tries to take her life which would make her the eighth victim the killings start again. Those she loves rally around her to try to make her feel safe but who is it that is secretly watching her every move? Who is it that is closer than you think? An extremely captivating story that truly will keep you guessing until the last page. A definite must read!

Fantastic novel with a final twist I didn’t see coming. Tense and suspenseful throughout. Will be looking out for further novels

A great psychological thriller full of the normal twists and turns I now come to expect from a Darren O’Sullivan Thriller.

I have to say that I feel this is the best yet!
I loved the whole concept of the storyline and felt it had an extra thriller element to it. It was creepy, twisty and intense! All the things I like in a thriller!

Quite possibly one of the best books I have ever read, gripping from start to finish didn’t want to put it down although I would never have guessed the ending it was left a little bit in the air.

This book...what to say. I think it probably achieved what the author set out to achieve and, much like the book "You" by Kepnes, will be enjoyed by many for that. It isn't necessarily a book that I love though. I thought the writing was good, the story was compelling enough, but I have just found that I am not a fan of stories told from the point of view of the killer. So, that has more to do with my ability to choose a book (and I prefer not to have much info going in to a thriller) than anything the author did to set the book in a negative light. This is a well-paced story. I think it may be a bit confusing to jump from the current day to the past in this case but I understand the need to do it here.
Overall, it was good, but not my personal taste.

I did not find this book as enjoyable as I had hoped. The story was complicated and interesting in its own way but I did not enjoy the complete absorption in a victim. It was more than obsessive and compulsive and not in an interesting way.

The other difficulty I had in reading this book is that so much of it happens in the past that it loses its immediacy and tension.

Thank you to NetGalley ror this copy.
