‘A long, long time ago, you did a bad, bad thing, Now it’s time to pay...’

Featuring Olivia, where her past will not be forgotten and her-ex cop boyfriend Noah who is determined on finding the answers.
This was a gripping and suspenseful read. Good character development and I liked the build of the storyline.
It did feel long in some places where the pace slowed but soon ramped up again towards the end.
Numerous twists and turns that were fairly predictable but still enjoyable.

‘A long, long time ago, you did a bad, bad thing, Now it’s time to pay...’

Olivia Blake received the above note and initially thought it was a prank. Olivia works as an estate agent and is invited to a view a property but after arriving she walked in on a horrific and gruesome sight. She is shocked and reminded that sometimes the past comes back with a vengeance. It is now crystal clear that the note was not a joke, but a sinister warning. She soon learns that she is not the only one receiving these notes. Who can be trusted?

This was a riveting and fast paced read which kept me on my toes. The book is full of tension and dread. It is not long before fingers will be pointed, secrets will be learned, danger will mount, and the body count will rise! I had my suspect list lined up, trying my best to solve who is out for revenge for a teenage prank that went horribly wrong.

I enjoyed this whodunit and the characters. I loved not knowing who could be trusted in this book. I enjoy Keri Beevis's books. I always know that I will be in for a fast-paced, well written and enjoyable read. I look forward to what she writes next.

Well written, fast paced, sinister and riveting!

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the copy of Trust No One by Keri Beevis.

This was quite an enjoyable read, in the darkest of ways! The writing style kept me hooked, the characters were so intriguing, and I just needed to know what was going to happen next! I thought I had the twist figured out, but I was wrong again.

When Olivia was a teenager, she and some friends were involved in a tragic accident. Now, someone from the past is coming back to torment all of them. At first, she thinks the note she receives is a joke, but when she realizes her old friends are getting them too, things start getting scary.

This is a quick and easy gripping page turner. Lots of twists and turns in this thriller - quite a few of them are predictable, but there are enough surprises to have you second guessing yourself the whole way. I enjoyed this gem in a single sitting. Once you get pulled into it, you have to stay to the end! 😂

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced digital reader's copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review!

3.25 stars

I love a good murder mystery that switches between the murder’s POV and the other MCs. It’s interesting seeing all their views.

I think if this book was 50-75 pages less, this book would be a much higher rating for myself. The book was a little too slow for my liking and it became super repetitive.

I loved the plot line and mystery even though it was not very surprising, I still loved the ending.

Thanks NetGalley and publisher for the digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

By the time I had reached got to the end of Chapter 1 I was asking myself why on earth I had not read any of Keri Beavis books before!

Olivia Blake is just settling into a new relationship, but does she really know everything about Noah? She lives in a big beautiful house which she shares with her friend Molly. She has never done anything bad to anyone so why is she receiving threatening notes?

Keri Beavis has written an extremely sinister psychological thriller which really messed with my head! It certainly is a case of Trust No One, not even Olivia. I fell in love with Noah myself and flinched every time I came across something that could implicate him.

The author’s attention to detail was outstanding and no stone was left unturned in Olivia’s quest to find the answers. I could feel the tension building up and up, my senses were heightened to every little nuance and at no time was I disappointed with where this story went.

I must admit that this book is so creepy that I only dared to read it during daylight hours.

Keri Beevis does it again! The tension you feel reading this is so real.
Trust No One by Keri Beevis was utterly incredible.
I will officially reading anything Keri writes. Just incredible writing.
There is plenty of tension and suspense as the author keeps the reader second-guessing.
This story is everything I hoped for and more. This has been a completely addictive and unputdownable read from the very first page.
A dark and chilling psychological thriller.

Lots of suspense, but in places just seemed ridiculous that the police weren't more involved and advising completely different course of action, especially once links were being made. As soon as it was revealed what had happened to Olivia in the past, the story became more predictable and I worked out many of the "twists" and a lot of the ending.
I have read others by the author which were better than this.

Thank you to Boldwood Books & NetGalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.

Olivia is busy living her life trying to get over what happened to her when she was 14. She has a great new lodger named Molly whose becoming a friend, and a new boyfriend Noah who she is really falling for. Everything seems to be going good until it’s not. She’s lured to a house where she watches an innocent man burn to death. But afterwards she finds out she knew the man, went to high school with him. Now creepy notes are showing up for her, and someone has been breaking into her house. As she begins to realize what is happening in the present is closely linked to what happened back in high school, she tries to unravel the mystery as the clock is ticking.

I love a good thriller, but this book was a bit too intense for me. Filled with graphic violence, and scenes of terror, it was hard to get through. This book was also extremely long, and each chapter seemed to endlessly drag on. Overall, this thriller was not for me.

No wonder this character has trust issues. This thriller had me changing my mind as to who the killer was and never saw the ending coming. Great read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

TRUST NO ONE wasn’t my favorite Keri Beevis book, unfortunately. The plot line was meandering and unlike her previous books that were fast-paced, this one felt like a slog. I had a tough time getting into the storyline and characters, and ultimately didn’t care very much about the outcome.

I’ve had mixed results with Keri Beevis’s books, but look forward to trying another in the future.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read and review TRUST NO ONE.

OMG this was weird. Okay so our girl Olivia suffered some trauma when she was 14 (didn't we all?) and it was a doozy. While on a school holiday (because this is the UK and they have cooler schools than the US) she made friends with a weird quiet girl from another school, which upset her former bestie Fern.
So Fern lit them on fire, essentially.
Olivia doesn't remember the terror, just exploring an old building with her new bestie and then waking up in the hospital. The other girl didn't make it and Olivia is all burnt up. Because this is the UK she was able to be in the hospital and her parents didn't have to sell everything they own and go into lifelong debt in order for her to be alive.
So now she's like in her 30s and she is dating a super hot ex cop who showed up at her parents restaurant one day. He is like super hot and he is in love with her.
What I don't get about these characters is how they aren't calling the cops at every stage. Because like I don't get paid to catch murderers. It isn't my job.
I love this author and all of her books but I want to remind people that if you get hit in the head hard enough to pass out you are going to suffer from a traumatic brain injury and need a hospital. There is a whole lot of people getting hit in the head and getting back up in this exciting story.

Love the ending!

Olivia Blake was a victim of a prank that claimed a life when she was 14 . In the present, she has been receiving threatening notes. When others start dying, she begins to fear that she could be next.
This book was well written with good character development. This twisty thriller kept me interested from the beginning all the way to the surprising ending.

Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for access to this Arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is the first book I read of this author and it was quite nice. It's crazy how a ''prank'' can have such consequences. I felt so bad for Olivia when she had no idea why she was being targeted. Slowly building suspense, it was not much of a surprise for me when the guilty was revealed. The writing style made me enjoy the book though.

Keri Beevis is a superb storyteller, and she has done it again. Trust No One is a gripping psychological thriller that revolves around Olivia - a complex character with a troubled past and dark secrets that she keeps hidden. Her world is shattered when she starts receiving threatening notes, and her only solace is her boyfriend, Noah, who is determined to protect her at all costs.

As Olivia and Noah investigate the menacing messages, they find themselves caught in a web of deceit and betrayal, leading them to question the trustworthiness of everyone around them. With each passing moment, the tension mounts, and the stakes get higher, making Trust No One an unputdownable page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for allowing me to read and review this book.

I can't explain how excited I get to puck up a new Keri Beevis book! And once again, this didn't dosappoint. Really well written, completely captivating, I had no idea who was behind it or how it was going to play out. The characters are original and realistic, the writing is descriptive enough to set the scene but never drifts off into unnecessary waffle and just pointless filler and the plot constantly moves forward. Once you start, you really can't put it down! An amazing book from one of my top 5 authors

Really good and quite dark psychological thriller which starts with a cruel school prank which goes tragically wrong and results in the death of one girl and the scarring for life of another. Many years later Olivia is coming to terms with her scars and the fact that her ex partner found them and her repulsive. She has found a new man and is happy living with her best friend. However the two do not like or seem to trust each other and soon mysterious notes are left and an intruder tries to break in.

Others also seem to be dying and Olivia is scared. Who can she trust and why is she being targeted?

A pacy thriller which was a great read. Highly recommend.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
