I enjoyed the ride this book book me on. The story had me captivated throughout this book. Really enjoyed the story!

I really enjoyed this book! It started off a little slow in the beginning, but once it picked up it had me hooked!

A really clever book that is part thriller, part ghost story and fully about the struggles Fern has, pregnant and grieving the loss of her twin sister.
Fern bonds with the owner of the house as she conducts the second viewing but all is not as it seems and Ferns fragile mental health is pushed to the boundaries of reality more than once with no-one really hearing her scream.
I really liked the flourishing relationship between Fern and her mother in law in the face of her marriage crumbling and her nightmares growing- it was a relief for her to have some support!
A great story with a hugely satisfying ending.

I am sorry to say that i just didn't get this book, it was hard work and i ended up skipping so much of it.
I found the characters unrelatable and the whole thing just dragged on far to long.

Thanks and apologies to the publisher and NetGalley for an early copy and sorry to have left such a negative review.

✨Book review✨
The Woman Before
By Jennifer Moore

This book hurt my head. The dialect felt very messy, and the flow of this book was rough.
The plot was very predictable right from the start, and I feel that the characters were extremely one dimensional.

Sadly this one was not for me. It was hard to finish 😢

Rating: ⭐️⭐️💫/5
This book releases July 13th.

This book was great for a debut. It’s so well written and the storyline flowed really well. It had me guessing the entire time I was reading. Not many do these days, so that was great.

This was a bit of a strange story to me and I didn't engage with the characters even though it was well written but the story line just wasn't for me unfortunately.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for this ARC.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

What a weird little gothic tale. I didn’t hate it but it didn’t truly engage me like it did the other reviewers. 3.5 stars, rounded up for the weirdness

In The Woman Before, pregnant Fern and her husband Paul move inot a new home to make a new start after their twins' death. Soon after, Fern starts experiencing nightmares about the previous owner and spirals down into an obsession... but is she onto something?

This was an enjoyable book which kept me on the edge of my seat. The main character was very relatable and I had so much sympathy for her as I watched her life unravel. The mystery kept me guessing and the ending was satisfying...!

I loved it. I can't believe it's a debut novel.
