I loved the writing style of this book, really great and engaging to read. The mystery of this book was great too and really kept you on your toes guessing all the way through.
This was such a fast paced read. I honestly didn’t know where the next chapter was going to take me! This book was such a wild ride.
I thought the plot was so gripping, I couldn’t put it down! The storyline was very unique and The characters were intriguing. The plot twists were so shocking and so unpredictable. I can’t even begin to discuss the ending, I absolutely loved it.
I thought the characters were interesting. We got to read in the perspective of the three sisters, including past and present timelines. I thought this was great to be able to read about the mystery that is happening currently and then to find out how each sister is feeling. It is so interesting finding out how everything linked up, I think I was in a permanent state of shock.
I loved reading this book. The writing style was so easy to read and I literally fell into the book. I thought the author created an amazing mysterious setting for this book, it definitely brought the story and characters to life.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book to all thriller/mystery lovers.
This is the first time I've read a thriller written by this talented duo and what a fast-paced, gripping book it proved to be!
If you like reading about complex family dynamics and sibling relationships, I Will find You will be right up your street. When Ashleigh, a creative, artistic soul who has been relying on alcohol and drugs to deal with her past, goes missing, her sister Jessica will do anything to find her. But nobody is perfect and that includes Jessica who, despite all appearances has her own share of secrets that go long way back. Add their half-sister Grace, a love child of Ashleigh and Jessica's father's affair, who is resentful and envious of the love and affection her half-sisters had.
There are twists and shocking revelations that will keep you guessing until the very end, which I didn't see coming at all. The pace was great and it was easy to follow the story, despite its complex structure.
I would love to read more from these authors!
I Will Find You is a fast paced, edge of your seat thriller that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my ARC.
I received a gifted copy of ‘I Will Find You’ by Amanda Rigby in return for my honest review.
This book follows sisters Jessica & Ashleigh. Jessica is a lawyer, is married and has two children. Ashleigh has never settled down and uses alcohol to help her cope with her devastating past.
One day Jessica receives a call from Ashleigh’s landlord saying she thinks that Ashleigh might be missing.
Jessica involves the Police and soon the investigation escalates as more reasons come to light to find Ashleigh.
Will they find Ashleigh? Is she alive or in hiding?
This book is mainly told from the points of view of the sisters at different points in the timeline. This added to the suspense, as you get to hear the events leading up to the disappearance as well as after.
I really enjoyed reading and the number of unexpected secrets that are discovered keeps you wondering how the story is going to unfold. You are kept in suspense the whole way through as you try and work out what is going to happen.
Another great read from these authors, and I will be looking for any future books too.
Overall, a suspenseful mystery/thriller showing how secrets can affect a family.
Ashleigh, Jessica and Grace, 3 sisters, 1 terrible secret!
Ashleigh is tormented by her past and the demons that refuse to be laid to rest
Jessica a perfect wife and mother on the face of it, however her life is built on secrets and lies
Grace is the outsider, she has never known her sisters love and her resentment makes her do bad things
Following Ashleigh’s disappearance, Jessica and a Grace work together to find their eldest sister, but the longer she is missing the more their secrets and lies threaten to be revealed and tear their family apart.
An interesting, fast paced read that kept my attention and at times meant I struggled to put it down. The characters were well written and I felt their pain as the story unravelled. This book kept me guessing and I cannot wait to read more from these authors
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book
I love what this duo of authors is always capable of writing: a suspenseful, fast paced, psychological thriller which reads quickly and is packed with twists that you don't see coming.
It was the same with their debut novel Remember Me? which I loved, as well. So it's a two out of two as far as I'm concerned. Obviously I can't wait for the next one!
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
When Ashleigh goes missing, Jessica and Grace do all they can to find their eldest sister. But the longer Ashleigh is missing, the more secrets and lies these women are hiding threaten to tear this family apart.
A gripping read and easy five stars. The story was fascinating and totally kept my interest. Thank you so much for a great read. I will be looking out for future books by this author.
This was a very enjoyable read about three sisters, Ashleigh, Jessica and half sister Grace, all of whom are hiding secrets. Told from the pov of the sisters mainly in the present but with flashbacks to the past. This is a very well written and cleverly thought out story with plenty of drama and suspense.
Briefly, when Jessica, an artist with a serious drink and drug problem, goes missing her sister Jessica starts searching for her. Jessica has the perfect life on the surface, perfect mother, perfect children but she is hiding a sordid secret.
I found the book a real page turner and with all the twists and turns I was constantly changing my mind about what was going to be the outcome. And when all the secrets were finally revealed well, I just didn’t see that coming. I thought this was an excellent psychological thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This thriller will keep you guessing. The three sisters have not had the best relationships and have very different personalities. They also have their own secrets. One thing that drew me in was the cover and after reading the book the cover is a big easter egg.
This writing duo has a knack for capturing your attention and holding it so you don't want to put the book down. I've felt that with both of their books. I wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Nothing is ever as it seems.
I didn’t know that the author’s pseudonym actually hid two different authors, but I gladly jumped into this novel that I didn’t know.
Ashleigh is missing. No one knows where she is, but Jessica, her sister, is determined to find out what happened.
We alternate the story by following the points of view of the three sisters: Ashleigh, Jessica and their half-sister, Grace. All three have secrets, secrets they keep from everyone. But someone seems to have discovered them and when Ashleigh has to face her past, she will discover things that will change her forever.
This was a very intriguing novel and I really wondered who was after the three sisters. The story kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and I couldn’t wait to find out what really happened, and the ending surprised me!
A good thriller!
I WILL FIND YOU is the second psychological thriller by co-authors Amanda Ashby and Sally Rigby and, although I did enjoy it to a point I didn't love it as much as their debut "Remember Me?" which was pretty phenomenal. I guess I found the premise a little misleading as I kept waiting for Jessica and Grace to band together to try and find Ashleigh which of course, never happened. Misleading premises are a pet hate of mine as they tend to make you think the story is going to be one thing and it ends up entirely another which may be all good an well but considering it's that which generally entices the reader into reading the book. Thus expecting it to be completely different from promised is incredibly frustrating. Therefore this books falls into the didn't love/didn't hate category.
So we have three sisters from two different families who share a father, all of whom have multiple layers of issues.
Jessica - perfect wife and loving mother. While she might seem to have it all, she lives a secret life built on lies.
Ashleigh - a free spirit, loyal to a fault but tormented by demons and a past from which she cannot escape.
Grace - the outsider always looking in, she has never known the love of her half-sisters and she bears a resentment for what was denied her.
Each of these women have troubled lives and each of them affected in different ways. But none of them realise how their lives are going to collide when what ensues is a deadly game of cat and mouse when Ashleigh suddenly disappears.
Jessica has a seemingly perfect life as a perfect wife, loving mother and a thriving career as a corporate lawyer. She works hard to keep the picture perfect life in place and vowed to give her twin girls a better life than the one she had as a child. A distant mother who was quick to remarry after her beloved father's untimely death in a car accident twenty years ago changed her whole world forever. And then she receives a phone call from her sister's landlady to inform her that she's not seen Ashleigh for five days as well as being three weeks behind on her rent. Jessica is quick to make restitution before heading to Ashleigh's bedsit in the hope of finding some clue as to her sister's whereabouts. Her husband, Henry, is not so sympathetic.
For twenty years, Ashleigh has tried running from the past that continues to haunt her, attempting to find solace in alcohol and drugs. Surviving the car accident that claimed their father has sent Ashleigh down a spiralling rabbit hole with no end for two decades. And now it seems someone knows her secret and is threatening all that she has left. But she only told one person - her closest friend. Surely they wouldn't have betrayed her...would they? But the chilling messages that have been left for her suggest otherwise. Could this be linked to her disappearance?
Grace is the family's dirty little secret....or rather, their father's. She is the result of an affair with her mother for whom he promised to leave his wife and daughters...and never did. Grace became the "dis-grace" of shame. She was six when their father died and her whole life she has been denied the love and recognition she deserved, tucked away out of sight and out of mind.
And then a body is discovered...and the police believe Ashleigh cold be responsible. Her fingerprints are found throughout the crime scene and she has disappeared - surely the sign of a guilty person? A TV appeal with Jessica in front of the cameras begging Ashleigh to contact her is plastered across the networks in the hope her sister will see it. But is Ashleigh truly missing or hiding out of fear? And what are the secrets all three sisters are hiding and will they ever be revealed?
A twisted tale of murder and mystery, I WILL FIND YOU then delves into the complexities of addiction, trauma and abuse and the secrets and lies that follow. It is addictive reading, like a car crash you can't look away from, and while I did figure a few things out along the way, I did not see the biggest reveal of all. That came out of nowhere for me.
None of the characters were likeable. Jessica was a snob, as was her hubby Henry, Ashleigh was a train wreck of her own making and Grace was resentful of a life she thought she deserved. I found it hard to sympathise with any of them.
This book is riddled with possible triggers - sexual abuse, addiction, self-harm, suicide and alcoholism - so please take care to keep yourself safe if you think these would be too much to endure.
The ending of the book appeared to come out of nowhere. One moment the story was flowing freely building up to a conclusion when suddenly...it's over. Just like that.
A quick read, I WILL FIND YOU is fast-paced and suspense-filled throughout. It is definitely intriguing but didn't WOW me as the previous book did. Still definitely worth a read.

This book revolves around the lives of two sisters: Ashleigh & Jessica, and their half-sister Grace - all of them have secrets.
Ashleigh, an artist by profession has a past that she is unable to let go of, and ends up drinking a lot and also a drug addict – when she goes missing Jessica, a lawyer does all she can with the help of the cops.
A body is also found implicating that had something to do with Ashleigh’s disappearance.
While Jessica is all for helping find Ashleigh, their half-sister Grace doesn’t really get involved as she has her own secret to hide from everyone.
This was a quick paced read, and I loved every bit of it.
Thanks to Boldwood Books & Netgalley for approving the ARC.
I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. This book was one heckuva psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Loved, loved, loved this book and can't wait to read more by these authors!
There are three sisters, loving wife and mother Jessica who has a seemingly perfect life, Ashleigh the oldest who relies on drink and drugs to get her through the day, and Grace the quiet unassuming half-sister. They’re all keeping secrets and when Ashleigh has notes left for her she realises that someone knows the truth of what happened to their father. She only told her childhood friend, Liam, and surely he wouldn’t tell anyone, but when the police start searching for her in connection with a crime she has to disappear.
‘I Will Find You’ is a well-written psychological thriller told from the viewpoint of the sisters with a plot that’s cleverly thought-out with drama, intrigue and unexpected twists and turns. From the beginning the sisters’ characters are well-described and the story has had me guessing all the way through until I reached the final chapter where there’s a shocking and totally unexpected conclusion. This is a very enjoyable thriller, the first I’ve read by these two authors, but hopefully not the last.
My thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for letting me give my honest and unbiased review of this exciting novel.
Ashleigh: Creative, free spirit and loyal. But Ash is tormented by her demons and a past that refuses to be laid to rest.
Jessica: Perfect wife and loving mother. But although Jessica might seem to have it all, she lives a second life built on lies.
Grace: An outsider, always looking in. Grace has never known the love of her sisters and her resentment can make her do bad things.
When Ashleigh goes missing, Jessica and Grace do all they can to find their eldest sister.
What a suspense filled, fast paced and thrilling read this book is. The plotline is intriguing. There's plenty of twists that will keep you guessing. All the sisters have secrets. I was engrossed in what was happening in their lives. I loved the authors writing style. I was guessing all the way through. I never saw the ending coming. I loved it.

Well Snuggle My Brain! 😳😯🤯
Holy Fluff! What the mother trucker did I just read?! 😳 I mean... While I had an inkling to a few things along the way that I was right about, I certainly didn't see some of the bigger revelations! This was an amazing mix of thriller, mystery & suspense! I couldn't get enough. What a ride!
Two sisters; Ashleigh, Jessica & half-sister Grace all have secrets. Ashleigh has a past that won't stay there & ends up going missing. Jessica is doing everything she can to find her, but family secrets are making it difficult. A body turns up that police believe Ashleigh played a part in. Is Ashleigh truly missing or is she hiding as it's safer? What kind of secrets is everyone holding and will they come to light?
Whoa double whoa! This was a deep, twisted dark book of lies you can't believe. I couldn't read fast enough to find out the next secret and revelation. Geezus the psychological craziness in this novel was unreal!
Thank you to NetGalley & Boldwood Books for this ARC.

I give this 4 / 5 snowflakes! ❄️
I Will Find You is a thriller about three sisters, a missing woman, a murder, and a lot of secrets. I did not particularly like this book. I did not find any of the characters likable or relatable; I struggled through each character's chapters (there were three POVs). There were a few unbelievable plot twists, and the end was predictable. Also, just to note, there are quite a few references to sexual assault and past abuse.
Review
I've been lucky enough to read another of Amanda's books and I loved this one just as much.
I thought I had the book sussed and the huge curveball towards the end was brilliant. It really was the perfect ending.
The book flowed well and really kept me invested. There are a few trigger moments in the book and if you want to know what they are please do message me.
I'm looking forward to reading more of Amanda's books ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫
Ashleigh, Jessica, and Grace - all connected biologically, but each very different and each have their own secrets. When Ashleigh goes missing, Jessica and Grace search, but in different ways, and with their own hidden agendas. They are 3 totally individuals - Jessica is solid, married, got her life together, and often helps Ashleigh out. Ashley is somewhat of an alcoholic and often gets behind on her rent. Grace is the oddball; she resents the other two but feels compelled to find Ashleigh.
I read to the end and was glad I did as there is quite an unexpected finale.
I thank the author, publisher, and Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.
