Dream Gone Wrong..
A new move. An idyllic home. The same man. The dream gone wrong. Karen is making a move for a new start but something is dreadfully askew. A slow burn examination of the confines of a marriage, relationships and everything in between with a credibly crafted cast of characters. Not a psychological suspense but rather a familial drama.

This was a slow moving book that just didn’t seem to get going. I was constantly waiting for something/anything to happen. Sadly nothing did and the ending just fizzled out for me. To be fair to the author I am used to faster paced books and others may really enjoy this book.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.

I was excited to read this book and find out where it was going and although i found it ok i did think it was incredibly slow and not the book i was expecting. But overall it was ok.

Started really well and had me expecting a big shock but left me feeling like I'd missed something.
Rather underwhelmed.
Well written and good story line but missing that big twist in the end

Quite gripping, I can imagine it working well as an audiobook. Perfect for fans of domestic thrillers.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

I enjoyed the book on the whole but it left me a little bit disappointed. It built the tension well but it fizzled out and felt a bit flat. Well written though and I would read more from the author..

The story started off well, but the pace of the book did not hold my attention too well. It is well written. There is suspense. Worth reading to the end though.

I really wanted to read this book as had read a piece online about it and wow it did not disappoint.

Very real, very relatable. Loved Karen. Loved her so much and was willing her to stand up to her oppressive, bullying husband who was putting her down and stopping her fulfil her potential. It was almost a shouting at the book kind of situation I disliked him so much !

I was gripped from the first few chapters and it did not take me long to finish this book.. A believable read which I thoroughly enjoyed thank you so much.

Actually never read a book by this author and have since read more which makes this even more fabulous

After a traumatic time Karen moves into a house in the countryside that her husband has rennovated before she moves in. Is her past clouding her new life, is she worrying about things unnecessarily.? There are unexplained tensions and you are left wondering what is in store for Karen. I think I was left wanting a little bit more from this book.

I’m not sure I should have read this a few weeks before my partner and I are moving into our first home together! Karen’s husband has renovated a new house in the country for them. She’s packing up their current home and plans to join him. They hope that moving to a quiet, country setting will be a healthy contrast to the noise and bustle of London. Yet the beautifully put together house, gives off a strange feeling. The village that seems idyllic in the day, changes at night to feel eerie and the rural peace is suffocating to Karen. Surely, she will settle and forget what happened in London. They can heal the cracks that appeared in their marriage. Yet, what if history will repeat itself, now she is totally cut off from friends and family? Is Nick a protective husband, or a controlling one. The author cleverly creates a suspicious atmosphere that makes you want to know what happened before they moved? It’s not just awkward between Karen and Nick, he also has a strained relationship with their son Ethan.

There are events in the village where the family interact with others and at times it seems like nothing is wrong, other times the cracks and difficulties really show. In these sections it didn’t feel like a thriller, but more like a very astute spotlight on marriage and how complicated a relationship it can be. There are hints of what’s gone before when their old friends visit from London too. Plus, some strange occurrences that normally wouldn’t be noticeable but could hint at a form of gaslighting although we never see who is responsible. Is Karen a person who lacks confidence, or does she lack confidence because she’s been made to feel crazy or is so tightly controlled she can’t summon up her own choices? Nick has built her a studio in the garden. She is a talented ceramicist and she’s so grateful for his building the studio, but seems to have no confidence in her skills, There is a constant nagging doubt that she can’t trust Nick, but when it’s revealed that he’s had an affair some of her behaviour has its context. Towards the end there is a huge twist that did surprise me. I think the novel was a great dissection of a troubled marriage, the characters were strong and I enjoyed the aspect of fitting in to a new community. I enjoyed this novel and would look for more of her work.

I really enjoyed this book. Well written. Good storyline. Characters not bad. Overall a good read. Would recommend

This started being a really good tale of intrigue but actually nothing much happened and was therefore quite disappointing.
It was tricky to follow the time line of events and overall not a book I enjoyed.

This boom surprised me from beginning to end and I really enjoyed it.

Would love read more her.

The characters we brill.

I was expecting a lot more from this book having read the precise. But I found it slow and it wasn't really a psychological thriller more of a drama. I found the writing to be good but the story was slow. One good thing though was the ending!!

I was expecting this from the blurb on the back of the book to be a psychological thriller. It was however about a family drama. Still a good read and the ending certainly was an eye opener.

Karen and Nick have moved to a little cottage in the country to escape the memories from their London home. It gradually becomes clear that Nick had an affair, which sent Karen into a depression, so the move is a fresh start. But Karen’s not happy, and still doesn’t trust Nick, especially when he starts paying attention to local ‘Lady of the Manor’ Imogen. Is Nick up to his old tricks, or is Karen’s imagination running away with her,

The Move is a good story, although I have to admit to still having unanswered questions at the end - was there somebody with Nick the morning she went up the hill, for instance? On several occasions I felt that maybe I’d missed something, a chapter maybe, which would have helped keep me on track. There were many different characters - my favourite probably Cath who doesn’t really care what anybody thinks -, who’s interactions with Karen at times made me more confused and I found the layout of the village to escape me completely.

A shame, as I feel the book had much to commend it, but it left me feeling unsatisfied.

This was very well written but the pace was sadly just too slow for me: even a third of the way through, not much had happened yet. Not for me I'm afraid.

I've not read any of Felicity Everett's novels before, and I'm pleased that I've read this one. Karen moves out of London with her husband Nick, but are things as idyllic as they seem? A gripping, tense but exciting story.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HQ and the author Felicity Everett for my ARC in exchange for an honest review

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was beautifully written. I gave it 3 stars because I felt like i was waiting for that moment it would be gripping but it never came. I wish the ending was the bit that drawn out a bit more but I felt it was rushed.
Still an enjoyable read with some good and interesting characters

I give this book 3 stars
Karen is on her way to an idyllic country cottage, refurbished by her husband Nick. They’re making a fresh start.
