I found this book to be a very fast paced and quick read. It was easy to follow. I really enjoyed it. I can't imagine being put in prison for someone else's crime. I would probably seek revenge too! Lol! Six years is a long time. This book had me blushing too! STEAMY! The author has a gift! I was entertained from page one until the end. It was easy to imagine everything as I was reading.

The Fall by Evie Hunter is a gritty revenge thriller that had plenty to keep the reader invested. I like this author’s writing style. It is simple but effective and packs a punch in the right places. The pacing was great, and I was invested from beginning to end.

The characters are complex. Lauren is a strong woman with quite the past. I found her relationship with Nate intriguing, and I enjoyed how it built over time. The character driven atmosphere of this novel made it even more compelling.

The plot was thrilling. It was interesting to see how the characters tracked down what they were looking for. Fast paced and entertaining, I would recommend this book to thriller fans.

And as Lauren’s plan with Nate reaches its shocking climax, no one knows who will ultimately take the fall… A nail-biting revenge thriller, perfect for fans of Gemma Rogers, Heather Atkinson and Caro Savage.

Review - ⭐⭐⭐.5 If you got sent to a prison for a crime you didn’t commit it would give you a lot of time to think and plan your revenge on the people that put you there. This starts as a slow burner as you get to know the characters but there are some nasty surprises and people to keep you hooked!
The book was an easy read with a simple to follow plot, my one critique is the sex scenes were unnecessary as they didn't add anything to the story at all and seemed to just be there as Hunter can write good sex scenes.

3.5 stars. Lauren is charged with insider trading. She is released after three years, a shell of her former self. The only thing that kept her going was exacting her revenge on the one person who let her take the fall for it all…

This was an incredibly easy read, and was an entertaining story about revenge. There weren’t many twists so I didn’t feel that it was really a thriller per se (if you’re pegging yourself as a thriller, I like to be THRILLED!!) I felt it was more a story of revenge and bringing a terrible human being to justice.

I liked Lauren, she had a punchy and sarky attitude. However, I found the whole relationship with Nate a bit far fetched if I’m honest. I was waiting for the catch (perhaps that’s the cynic in me…) but it just seemed too “boy meets girl, boy rescues girl”. And the sex…?! Did I blush? Hell yeah!! I can read my crime dark and gritty, to the point of shocking, and not bat an eyelid. But have me read a sex scene written by Hunter and I’m hiding! It didn’t feel necessary to the story if I’m honest, but Hunter clearly knows how to write sex.

The revenge plot was incredibly detailed and well thought out, and I really enjoyed that part of the story. And Kermit! Aw Kermit, bless him!

Overall, it was an entertaining read which you could easily fly through in an afternoon.

So this is a story of revenge and succeeding. It's a gritty drama with a lot of sex. Not sure if that was needed as it didn't really have anything to do with the story.

I enjoyed the read. It kept me interested from the start.

Enjoy!

Interesting and easy read about revenge. Full of tension and very suspenseful. For me the sex was a little too much and not necessary to the story, but it might appeal to other readers.
On the whole a good read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lauren is all out of trust for people and it takes her a while to to start to trust that Nate may be the help she needs.
Will Lauren be able to clear her name and prove what really did happen. Is she right to put her trust in Nate?
A good thrilling story that was really easy to read.

I’d like to thank Boldwood Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Fall’ written by Evie Hunter in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Lauren Miller is sentenced to prison for insider trading, a crime she says she committed with her boss Jeff Williams, and throughout her sentence she’s dreamt of getting her revenge on him for framing her and letting her take the blame. Lauren is released after three years and is living in a semi-derelict cottage in the New Forest when a good-looking American Investigative Journalist named Nate Black contacts her. He says he wants to help clear her name in return for her story and although Lauren wants to trust him she doesn’t know if she can.

‘The Fall’ is an entertaining thriller with the strategy being revenge on the person who’s to blame for Lauren’s incarceration in prison. The plot is perfectly planned and carried out with lots of drama, intrigue and excitement, and I got so involved with the action that I couldn’t stop reading and once started I devoured the entire book in less than a day. It’s a really thrilling book and although there wasn’t a vast number of twists and turns, those that were present gave the story impetus and made me rethink my suspicions. This is an easy book to read, with a final twist that I wasn’t expecting and gave the story a perfect ending. Is this Ms Hunter’s first thriller? If it is, I do hope she writes some more as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.

Having spent time in prison for the last 6 years for a crime she hadn't committed Lauren Miller has been released.
Licking her wounds she wants to hide away from the world, her well-to-do parents who are ashamed of her find her a shack in the woods, it's run-down but she doesn't care she just wants to plot her revenge on those that are to blame.

A local journalist Nate Black picks up her story and is interested in what went on. After meeting Lauren he wants to help her clear her name. He comes up with a plan to catch the real offender, but who knows if it will work?

This was a really good thrilling book it had a few twists and turns which keeps the reader interested.
Will they find who did commit the crime? Will the culprit be brought to justice?
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. xx

Lauren is arrested and spent 3 years in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. Now out of prison Lauren wants to restart her life away from the public and sets herself up in an isolated shack in the forest and gets herself a job in a local cafe.

Interested in Lauren’s case and believing she is innocent a local journalist Nate is determined to gain Lauren’s trust, team up with her, help her prove her innocence and reveal the true culprit.

This book was so easy to read, the plot was simple, easy to follow but also had plenty to keep the reader interested. I loved the relationship the builds between Lauren and Nate and I found I really loved both of their characters. The fact that I loved the characters made this book all the more easier to read.

I also really enjoyed the ending to this book. Justice was finally done, karma came round and the real criminal was held to account and I loved the way he was brought down by a clever planned formed by Nate. The only thing I would have loved was a one year later on the end to see what became of Nate and Lauren but other than that I found this book was fast paced, thrilling and exciting.

Thank you to NetGalley, Evie Hunter and penguin books for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an open and honest review.

Sent to a prison for a crime you didn’t commit…gives you time to ponder and plot revenge on the people that put you there! This is a page Turner with some nasty surprises and people to boot! This is a book you wont want to put down.

This book was good but not as fast paced or gritty than I was expecting. Worth a read though, and some nasty characters along the way.

Absolutely amazing book
Couldn’t put it down
One of the best I’ve read this year
Will keep you up into the early hours
