Every move you make was quite a hard book to sum up. On the one hand, I wasn't quite sure about the theme - four stalker victims who get together and join a "whatsapp" stalking group chat who call themselves the FYST ("F*** YOU STALKER TW*TS"). Why would they call themselves that? 4 very different characters Lucy, Alex Bridget and River who met at the funeral of a fellow friend and victim and receive a threat that one of them will die in 10 days. who will die? Who will survive? On the other hand I enjoyed the ending and found it quite addictive after a slowish start.

They decide to take it upon themselves to try and track down their stalkers (kind of stalking them a bit) and the book is written from each of their points of view.

The characters were very different although interesting to have a male victim amongst them, some slightly annoying traits and why would they be constantly on whatsapp.? I'm not sure I fully engaged with them until about 75% in where the book really pulled me in and I was very keen to find out what happens next with some interesting surprises.

Was pleased I made it to the end, but having now read six books by this author, this wasn't my favourite CL Taylor. That said she is a great author and I look forward to her next book.

A big thanks to Avon Books UK, Avon for the advance review copy 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for a good ending and interesting end note from the author who has herself suffered from a stalking incident and survived it.

Alex, Lucy, Bridget and River all have something in common: they are being stalked. Coming together at the funeral of one of their friends from the support group they set up, they are shocked when a wreath arrives stating that one of them only has ten days before they die. Without knowing which of them is the target, they decided to turn the tables and keep tabs on each others’ stalkers. In what becomes a race against time, can they prevent another death?

One of the things I like most about C. L. Taylor’s books is that she writes about a range of subjects that make you think about what you are reading. In Every Move You Make, she paints a very vivid picture of what it is like to have your every move monitored and how it takes over every moment of your life. It is clear after reading the author’s words at the end of the book that she has personal experience of being stalked and this is definitely reflected in the way this is portrayed in the book.

The author has created a very claustrophobic atmosphere where, due to what is happening to them, the main characters start to mistrust the people they thought they could trust the most: each other. This creates a similar effect for the reader as we start to wonder if one of them is actually responsible for the death threat, suspicion being cast on each one of them at different times in the book.

This is another enjoyable book from C L Taylor with a subject matter that will remain in my head for a long time to come.

I find myself torn about this book. On one hand, it's incredibly entertaining and had me hooked from start to finish. Despite its hefty four-hundred-plus pages, I breezed through it in just a couple of sittings. However, there were moments where the plot felt a bit too convenient and implausible, with some rather glaring coincidences. But what really made me roll my eyes was the cliché use of the "no phones allowed" or "no cell service" trope in thrillers. In my over twenty years of owning a cell phone, I've never encountered such situations, making it feel like a lazy narrative device.

Despite these gripes, I have to admit that the book kept me guessing until the end. With a plethora of characters, there were plenty of red herrings and potential suspects, leading to an engaging game of cat and mouse. Even though I found most of the characters unlikeable, including those being stalked, I appreciated the inclusion of a male victim of stalking.

What truly sets this book apart is its unique premise, which immediately draws the reader in. The pacing is relentless, with non-stop action throughout, culminating in an intense, if somewhat unbelievable, finale. It's easy to see why it has garnered high ratings and widespread appeal. Despite its occasional leaps of logic and the over-the-top ending, the journey to get there is undeniably entertaining.

I highly recommend reading the author's note at the end. It's incredibly raw and personal, adding an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

I was a bit disappointed with this after reading earlier books from this author. I found it hard to get into the storyline and couldn't keep up with the characters.

Overall it was an okay read for me but wasn't an edge of seater unfortunately.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC.

A very good book! An unlikely group of five come together to form an online group. They have something huge in common: each person is the current victim of a stalker. This is a good story and at times is quite raw and unnerving. Recommended!

I have read and really enjoyed C.L. Taylors books but Every Move you Make is my favourite. I have been on pins reading this book and finished it in a couple of days. I haven’t, thank goodness, experienced stalking but reading this made me realise how terrifying it must be. Excellent writing as always by this author, I can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This unnerving book started off with a bang and didn’t let up,a relevant premise that is chilling and addictive! A group of friends,each with their own personal story to tell . . . . their situation,the threat,their fear,the impact on their lives.Supporting one another and trying to take control, BUT can you trust everyone! I loved the short chapters with everyone’s perspectives,the cleverly written storyline,the fast pace racing against the clock tension ,the twists and reveals and an explosive ending. Please read the authors note! The title also being a Police song about stalking was an extra bonus for me. Love this author!
With thanks to Netgalley,Call Taylor and Avon Books U.K for my chance to read and review this book.

This book was everything that I have come to expect from C.L Taylor. Well written with believable characters, Every Move You Make reflects a concern that affects many - stalking. Told from a multi-perspective narrative, each characters’ experience at the hands’ of their stalker is revealed. An excellent read.

I love CL Taylor books and this was no exception. I read it in a day and it had me intrigued and on edge in equal measure. The story is told through the eyes of 4 people who have stalkers and have set up a WhatsApp group to help each other. It appears they are all still being stalked and a death threat has been sent but they are not sure which one of them is the target. All they know is it is meant to happen on a certain day and each of them has something to celebrate then.
As the story unfolds, each one of them could be the target and the stalkers appear to be closing in fast. There only seems one way to stop them….
I loved the different characters - they seemed very real and relatable.

4.5 Stars. This novel has a unique premise about a group of people who are being stalked. They join a Whatsapp group in order to support and watch out for each other. Eventually after a series of life-threatening events they decide to try and take matters into their own hands...
This razor-sharp thriller is very cleverly written, full of tension and suspense. Told in multiple POVs the characters were very well developed and the author manages to portray the creepiness and helplessness that the characters feel as well as maintaining a menacing undercurrent running throughout the book.
The helplessness of the main characters experiencing such a believable scenario made it suspenseful throughout.
This is a tense, chilling and creepy read, told at a breathtaking pace, a real page turner.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for the ARC.

Having loved the author’s previous novel, The Guilty Couple, I was extremely excited for this one and it did not disappoint! If you are looking for a twisty whodunit style Agatha Christie, you’ve come to the right place!

I think this my favourite CLTaylor yet. I read it in one day and literally couldn’t put it down. With such a strong start, the story of a self made group of people who were being stalked was utterly compelling. The worry of never really knowing who to trust was real and I found myself doubting characters at times. The ending was satisfying, and the authors note at the end showed her courage in writing about a lived experience.

Very confusing at the beginning trying to get my mind round all the characters.
They have come together to try and support each other as they are all victims of a stalker. It has some twists and turns but very predictable.
Thank you Net Galley & C L Taylor for an advanced copy of this book

Another fabulous read from C.L. Taylor with a plot line that I found incredibly realistic and one that far too many will be able to relate to unfortunately. I took a couple of goes to get into the characters and get a full understanding of who they were but once I did this became completely unputdownable! A super twist and lots of red herrings make this a must read for fans and will certainly tempt new readers to discover her backlist.

4.5 stars
This novel is so tense, I absolutely loved it. Being single isn't so bad at all if you see what could happen to you.

Alex, Lucy, River and Bridget are the members of a WhatsApp group for people being stalked. Their life was already agony but now it seems that one of them receives the message they will be murdered, only it's unclear who is targeted. And so the countdown from 10 days to 0 and the nail-biting starts (and the regular stalking continues).

Every Move You Make is a real page-turner. Some of them know their stalker really well, other stalkers remain invisible and I don't know what's worse. The only thing they can do to keep safe is balancing on a fine rope of both keeping track of their stalkers whereabouts and staying far away from them. 

My  thoughts also wondered for a while why they simply didn't go to the police but some of them have good reasons not to go to the police and one of them did actually report their stalker. It's a fact that the police can't do much, as usual, so it's really up to them to find out who they should most be afraid of. The stalkers can't know but they're the ones who'll be watched next. Now there's a taste of your own medicine ha!

Every Move You Make kept me guessing throughout the novel. The scene at the bar made me even doubt characters I was rooting for until then. Who to trust, it's certainly a difficult one this time, but I loved the twists and the fight or flight mode was brilliantly done.

I really liked the personal note the author included at the end of the novel, sharing her own story and what inspired her to write this novel. It's horrible of course but at least one good thing came out of it because she delivered a very gripping novel. The only down part is that I'm stuck with singing the title of this novel, every single time I see it. And then it feels like it just stops mid-sentence so I need to finish the sentence. Isn't it a little twisted that it's a song from The Police or am I completely paranoid after reading this? OK we'll have that discussion another time.

I love CL Taylors writing and have read all her previous books, This is a different plot as I have not read many thrillers involving stalkers. This will keep you on the edge of your seat through out, some points are a bit unrealistic i thought but suits the story all the same. If you are a fan of the authors work you are in for a treat! Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for the chance to read this arc.

4 stars to this riveting stalker thriller!

I really enjoyed CL Taylor’s writing—it was gripping and the author’s note at the end explains how she so realistically wrote about being stalked. The characters were also excellently portrayed and each had a unique and engaging storyline. I was kept on the edge of my seat with the twists, as I often thought I had them figured out, only to be surprised by the reveals. Several plot points veered into unrealistic and absurd territory, as is often the case with these types of thrillers, but the overall story was super fun and enjoyable.

This is my second highly starred read by Taylor and I plan on reaching for more!

Every Move You Make is fast paced read with twists and turns and an ending I thought I had predicted.

I was wrong.

You meet Nat, Alex, Bridget , Lucy and Nat that formed a group in hopes of watching out for each other.

All have them stalkers and all of them are desperately afraid for the lives.

One dies.

The perpetrator has made it know their will be more deaths in ten days.

The tension is palpable as you feel their fear and learn their stories.

You will be looking over your own shoulder at times.

C.L. Taylor always does an amazing job with twists and turns, red herrings, characters we love, those we don't and she keeps you turning the pages quickly.

Ever Move you Make is no exception.

Pick up your copy and settle in for a fantastic read that has your heart pounding.

Please take time to read the author's notes, they add a lot to the book and will keep you thinking.

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK, Avon for a nail biting read.

Wow, what a terrifying and stunning read . This is fast paced and a real page turner. I devoured it !!! Fantastic read , would highly recommend.
