A story of an obsession that begins in adolescence and raises its ugly head many years later.

One of the main things for me when reading a book is that I am grabbed from.the beginning. I found this book quite confusing and slow to begin with .
Dates used for the past and future can make the story harder to read and I much prefer to see "then" and "now" as I don't have to stop and think when starting the next chapter.
These points do not detract from.the author's writing as I consider myself a lazy reader and usually get along with books that don't require much thinking about.

Once I got to grips with the characters I really enjoyed the story and it was a very original idea with a brilliant, intense and very satisfying
ending with all the ends neatly tied up.

Thanks to the author and publisher for the chance to read an early copy of this book.

Whilst I found this quite predictable, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters were fantastically described, the storyline flowed at a good rate, without being too slow or quick. I guessed the outcome quite early on, but I still loved it!

I was drawn in from the first pages.A pregnant woman husband away on business trip starts getting phone calls scary calls.As the story continues her panic increases who is calling her is it someone she knows .za tense story that kept me guessing till the last pages.#netgalley#amazonuk

Another fantastic gripping story from Janelle Harris. This one kept me hooked from beginning to the end. Lots of twists and a fantastic back story that was a story within itself. A story that never left the past in the past. The characters were superbly written, I love being able to visualise a character it makes the story much more interesting. Brilliant read

Before I say anything remotely negative, let me preface it by saying that I really enjoyed this book.... the author's writing had a way of sucking me completely into the story, and I never really felt that there were a lot of "slow" or skippable parts. Now, with that said, the "twist" was something I saw coming a mile away. I don't feel that that took anything away from my reading experience, bur I just can't honestly sit here and say that I was shocked. All in all, a great read; a book I will absolutely recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I defenitely liked this book. Will I read this authors book again? Yes. She got the perfect formula for a psychological thriller. But the execution is lacking in some places but overall it's a good book. I'd recommend you to read this one, especially if you love thrillers.

This story is about Darcy Hogan, who is absolutely perfect on paper. She is stunning and she has her own successful business, Darcy's Dishes. It's a vegan food company. She is married to her long time boyfriend, Luke Hogan, who is also her business partner. They look perfect together. She is currently pregnant with her first child. This pregnancy has been particularly difficult for her. She has had multiple hospital stays.

Beneath the surface of all the glam, Darcy's business is actually struggling. They are in debt and they need investors now. They are scrambling on what to do next when they get on opportunity to appear on a tv show. A mystery caller rattles them on the show. After which, everything becomes worse.

The book is written from three points of view; Darcy, Gillian and Tina. They all went to boarding school together 20 years ago. Darcy feels like there is something amiss. Strangers lurking in the dark and weird calls.

I found the different POVs little distracting and confusing in some places. The ending was really shocking. But it answered all the questions I had through it the book. Its a really good psychological thriller.

Read it / Skip it- My verdict- READ📖

Rating- ⭐⭐⭐✨

Meet Darcy and Luke, high school sweethearts, entrepreneurs, and parents to be. We meet them as they are appearing on a popular talk show, which promises to bring the extra publicity they need to boost their company. On the surface it looks like this beautiful couple could have no enemies: Darcy is successful, but also kind-hearted, they live in a safe and sought after neighborhood, and have a cute little Bichon Frise for extra protection and cuddles. But on the set of the talk show, Darcy receives an ominous phone call during the Q&A portion that makes her uneasy. She is bed bound with a difficult pregnancy, so are the strange occurrences that follow due to her going a little stir crazy or is their something more happening?

This book sucked me right in and I didn't want to put it down. The characters are well developed and most of then are extremely likeable, although quite often I wanted to shake some sense into them (especially Darcy). The suspense builds throughout the book, keeping you guessing at what might happen next. As a mom of a 4 month old baby, there was one part where I worried I might need to stop reading, but it brought me to the edge of the cliff without throwing me over.

If you love psychological thrillers and don't particularly feel like getting any sleep, this is a book that will keep you up and wanting more!

A huge thank you to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was amazing! I am not one for thrillers but this one just changed my mind. So many twists and turns you could not wait to see what would happen next!

This book is absolute genius, it has to be up there with my best psychological reads ever., if not the best. School days are supposed to be the best year's of your life but not for Tina, they were her worst nightmare. She was never accepted, had no friends and was mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity but was this an excuse for what she turned into. A Childhood obsession turns into an adult nightmare.

An excellent thriller that is guaranteed to draw you in and never let go. The protagonist’s story is believable and keeps you fascinated until the very end.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
This was a heck of a psychological thriller...very tense, especially towards the end; I read way too late!
Darcy Hogan's life is just about perfect: she's a successful business woman, married to her longtime love and heavily pregnant. When she is on a popular tv show being interviewed, a nasty call comes in from a voice of the past. The book features three pov's: Darcy, Gillian and Tina. They all went to the same fancy private school where bullying was one of the sports played. Twenty years later, it seems to be payback time...
This won't be my last Janelle Harris book, I really enjoyed it! Definitely recommended.

A great psychological thriller told from different view points, which keeps the story flowing. Though at times there is an over use of adjectives, which usually is distracting for me, the plot and characters were strong enough that I overlooked it. A great escape!
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

I have just finished reading this book and all I can say is wow what an utterly brilliant read this was. I just love a book that messes with your head, a book that you have no idea what is going to happen next and with this book I got all that. From the first page this book had me hooked and I just wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. For fans of psychological thrillers this book is a must read. 5⭐️

Darcy Hogan is feeling tired and lonely as she tries to make it through a difficult pregnancy all while running a successful business with her husband Luke.
After being interviewed on a local tv station about her food business and answering a strange phone call during the interview by a woman demanding a job strange events begin happening. She hears a lot of noises in her house, finds rats, loose floorboards with hidden papers, her beloved dog is poisoned Darcy wonders if she is again being "stalked" by former fellow student Tina. At the same time another student who went missing 20 something years before moves into the house next door.
This book was an amazing example of a psychological thriller and one that I couldn't put down but keep reading into the night. Written in alternating chapters by Darcey, Tina and Gillian this is a fast paced and frightening book about relationships, jealousy, bullying and mental illness.

Online, Darcy appears to lead the perfect life. Married to her childhood sweetheart, she’s about to become a mother. Behind the scenes, Darcy has been left locked in at home because of her difficult pregnancy, she’s running\ out of money and a troll is making her life a living hell.

Social media can be fun, but it can also be absolutely terrifying as this book illustrates
