This was an unforgettable, un-put-down-able thriller from start to finish. The tension C.L. Taylor creates in this narrative was at times uncomfortable (but in a good way) and I couldn't tear myself away from it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Every Move You Make by C.L. Taylor, an audiobook narrated by Clare Corbett was intense! When you have a stoker, it's not easy as you feel that your life doesn't believe you! You must watch every step, every move, every call, and every person you meet as it could potentially put them in danger.
I was blessed to have an e-book and an audiobook and this is one of the rare situations when it's easier with an e-book as there is a lot of WhatsApp messaging and it was so confusing in the audiobook! I managed to combine both and it worked out well.
As there are a lot of characters it was confusing for me to get to the essence of who is who and what is going on. This book gets more intense halfway through. Suspense and nerve-wracking moments follow one after another.

Alexandra, Lucy, Bridget, River, and Natalie are stoker victims who find support in a closed WhatsApp group. Things emotionally escalate when one of their group is murdered, days after their stalker is released from prison. If this is not hard enough the group receives a threat that one of them will die in ten days... No one knows who is the target but they know they must come up with the plan! They can't go to the police as there are some dark secrets buried but who will help if not the police? Can they take justice into their own hands?

I believe it could be triggering for stalking victims!

Thank you, NetGalley, HarperCollins UK Audio, and Avon Books UK for this copy! I highly recommend this book!

I wanted to love this book as the plot seemed unusual. It failed to deliver for me and got far fetched and boring and I struggled to finish it. Thanks to Net Galley for an ARC.

“Alex, Lucy, River and Bridget. Four people with one thing in common: they are all being stalked. Their lives are filled with terror. They never know what – or who – is hiding in the shadows”.

There used to be five of them, but the fifth member of this little WhatsApp group, Natalie, was murdered by her stalker. The others all attended Natalie’s funeral, where a wreath was handed to them simply saying RIP and a date, however it wasn’t meant for Natalie - it was in fact a warning that one of them would die in 10 days time!

Though each chapter was devoted to one character at a time, sadly I had to keep reminding myself who was stalking who, and what their backstory was.
Have to admit to being suspicious about a few of the main characters, but ended up being very surprised by the outcome. I enjoyed the story to a point, but had to suspend disbelief often and found that (for me) it dragged at times.
The author’s notes at the end of the book are enlightening, so do be sure to read them.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy of this arc!

C. L. Taylor does it again! I really enjoyed this book, I didn’t love the 4 POVs at all times but I get why it was necessary for the story. It fell a little bit flat and slow for me around half way but then picked right back up again and I felt like I was fully immersed in the story once again.

When reading the authors note Taylor explains that she had a stalker so this story is close to her heart and it made sense how you could really sense the fear of the different characters.

Overall, this was a really great read and I would highly recommend it to everyone because it definitely keeps you on your toes!

I love C.L. Taylor's books and this one had me gripped from the very beginning. I was suspicious of several characters throughout the book and then guessed the who but not the why (and was kept guessing on this until near the end).

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

I am a big fan of this author and was excited to get my hands on this, her latest offering. Although I did find it to be not as strong as some of her previous books, I did enjoy it, and tbh, the bar is set quite high in the first place so, expectations...
So... In this book we meet Alex, Lucy, Bridget, River, and Natalie. Five people drawn together by one common thing - they all have stalkers. Having met in an online support group, they have split away from that and have created a WhatsApp group where they all support each other. They are mostly ticking along OK until one of them is murdered days after their stalker was released from prison. At the funeral they receive a threat that one of the remaining group will die in 10 days.
And so begins a countdown as they all try and work out who sent the threat, who the threat was aimed at? And what they can do to stay safe. When someone suggests they turn the tables on their stalkers they all agree. But that soon escalates into something much much darker...
Oh my days! Some of the things that happen in this book are heartbreaking and dark. I understand that the author has personal experience of being stalked herself and this comes across in the book in the fear and claustrophobic nature of what is happening. It also highlights the lack of support from certain authorities. The law being a bit powerless in certain aspects of the crime of stalking.
The characters were all well drawn and all played their parts well. Pacing was good and matched the narrative all the way through. However, I did find it did slightly degenerate into farce a little. Went a little extreme and skirted the line of credibility for me. It also felt a little contrived at times. Which was a shame as I was fully on board before then. I also guessed a few things early which I guess didn't really help the cause.
But all that said, even though some things irked me, I had a few niggles and do admit to rolling my eyes a couple times along the way, this was a thoroughly decent read that did hold my attention nicely along the way, spitting me out at the end wholly satisfied.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Every Move You Make is a really tense thriller based on the authors past experiences with stalking.
Alex, Bridget, Lucy, Nat and River are all connected, they are connected by a WhatsApp group. They are all being stalked by various people. They are looking out for each other and keep in regular contact to make sure they are ok. Nat goes silent one evening coming back from work and the unthinkable happens. At her funeral the remaining four receive a wreath saying someone is going to die in the next ten days. River comes up with a plan to keep them safe but will it work?
This was a very tense read that I loved, I liked how you get to know the individual characters and who their stalkers are and why they are being stalked. The storyline is like nothing I’ve read before. I love this authors books but this although stressful to read is definitely my favourite. Everything about this book was perfect and I wouldn’t have changed a thing which for me is unusual but from the beginning to the end it flowed well and left no unanswered questions.
I would like to thank NetGalley and Avon Books UK forthis ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

A stalker support group with 4 remaining members attends the funeral of the 5th member, who has just been murdered by their stalker. During that funeral, a wreath is delivered with a note that someone will die on a specific date in the near future, and the remaining members become hyper vigilant.

3.5 stars.

This book was a little better than ok for me. I was able to keep the main characters straight, but some of the supporting characters were muddled. There was a hostage situation at one point, which I groaned at because I really find hostage situations to be boring. But there were also bright spots where I was actually quite interested and wondering where this would go and what would happen to the 4 main characters. There was certainly a lot going on at the end and I did not figure out what was actually going on, but overall this was a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy this author's work and will definitely read her next novel.

Don’t read this alone in the dark! I had my heart in my mouth the whole time, feeling the creepiness of being stalked, as if it was happening to me. Every Move You Make is a heart stopping ride, full of increasing threat and menace and finishing with some great twists.
A group of victims of stalkers get together to help protect each other from their stalkers. It’s incredible how CL Taylor conjures up the fear, and in the Author’s Note she explains how she was once stalked by her ex. She certainly makes you feel the powerlessness and how being stalked can ruin your life.
I enjoyed the twists at the end, and how, linked by their experiences, this group of people will always be there for each other.

I always look forward to C L Taylor’s releases. Some have been 3*, some 4* this one is definitely a 5* read for me personally.

I had read through this authors ex stalkers experience online when she linked to it on Facebook.
Of course I clicked and was moved by what she had gone through.
We may say “not another stalker story” but this has power and umff because this lady knows just how it feels! And I’m sure others having had this done to them would relate.

I read this story outside the compass it was in “stalker” because this is made up of characters, fiction and of course for readers to take in. So using a WhatsApp group to empower the ones being stalked made me realise, there’s a message there……you are stronger than you think.

I thought it a genius way of allowing us readers more insight to each character within the WhatsApp group, the opening up of a whole can of worms from each persons thoughts and experiences, yet coming together as one unit. Everyone had something in common…..or did they.

The twists I thought were very well matched with the pace of the book and how far the author wanted to gradually keep us guessing.

I loved the start, the middle and the ending and now urging my daughter to read this.
She loves the sound of it and I gave earache each step of the way to my husband as I was enthusiastically reading it until he said “I’ve practically read this book”.

If you realise this isn’t “just another stalking” book and actually has emotional experience in it, I think maybe this will be an enjoyable book to read.


I’ve never been stalked, but I do feel empowered.

The intensity of Every Move You Make starts from the very first page. The author, CL Taylor, doesn’t waste any time, she instantly places the reader at the heart of the story.

We meet five friends, Natalie, Alex, River, Lucy and Bridget, who are linked by their horrendous misfortune. They are being stalked, and form the wonderful, rebelliously named FYST WhatsApp group. One of the group is murdered by their stalker, if that isn’t bad enough, the others are delivered a chilling warning while attending the funeral.

The chapters alternate between narrators, giving detailed insight into how each of their situations affects their daily lives. We see how the increasing stalking behaviour, leads to a deterioration of their mental and physical health. Their relationships bending and breaking under the huge, sustained pressure. The daily countdown at the start of each new day, increases the sense of menace running through the pages.

Certain passages of the book made my skin crawl, my heart went out to the characters, and to every person who lives in this fear each day. This book will resonate with anyone who has ever felt watched, made to feel uncomfortable by unwanted attention, had to modify their daily routines and behaviour to feel safer.

It feels wrong to say that I enjoyed this book, as this story is terrifying real for so many women, and men too. I found the book extremely gripping, compulsive reading. There is a constant tension running through the pages. It’s one of those books you think about, when you have to stop reading. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.

Absolutely loved this book. I was gripped all the way through. The characters were great and the pace was good, it didn't drag the story out too much.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and I soon got used to the different characters. It had lots of twists and turns which I hadn’t guessed and although a bit far fetched and coincidental at times, the tense plot kept me interested.

First off I will say I do love a good C.L Taylor Physcological Thriller and there is always a good plot and twisty storyline behind all her books, so I was really looking forward to reading this latest addition!.

'Every Move You Make' is based on a group of strangers being stalked but they come together to create a group to look out for each other and not get killed- basically.
The first problem I encountered with this storyline is I struggled to remember who was who with their names and I found everytime I left and came back to the storyline, I found it hard to pick up where I had left off.

I also felt it was drawn out a little with not a lot of suspense to keep me page turning, I kept putting the book down and coming back to it, (then had to work out who was who again)
And I found I just wasn't engrossed (for the first time ever with a C.L.Taylor storyline).

The storyline does however touch on an important subject and creates awareness. The author herself has had her own experience with being stalked and the note at the end of the book was very raw and emotional and let's you know where the storyline originated.

Was a slow burner for me and not one of the best, but still a good read and I give it 3 stars.

Natalie, Alex, River, Bridget and Lucy are part of a stalker support group, allowing them the support of others in the same situation. They use the group to check in with each other but one night a member of the group doesn't reply. She's been murdered by her stalker.

At the funeral the group received a threat that one of them will die in 10 days time. The fear each day consumes them as they try to figure out who's next.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I did guess a few of the twists ahead of time. There was a lot going on with trying to follow the lives of four different people, but it built a detailed story.

I rated it 4/5 because some of it was a little predictable.

I really appreciated the author's note at the end regarding her own experience with stalking and the statistics were eye opening to say the least.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A group of people with one thing in common... stalkers!

Starting off with Natalie, River, Alex, Lucy and Bridget who form a whatsapp group to check in on one another to make sure they get to their locations safely.
Unfortunately Natalie is killed by her stalker ex boyfriend, at her front door. At her funeral the group are scared when a wreath with "rest in peace" turns up, for a date in 10 days time. Could it be a mistake and they have the date wrong for Natalie's funeral, or could the wreath mean one of them is next?

A great thriller set in England, plenty of twists, including ones I didn't guess.
3 stars as I felt so much was going on that I was losing track occasionally, but we got there in the end and everything fell into place.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Yet another great read from this author. it centres on a group of people who come together to from a group online as they all had something in common, they were all being stalked. At first I did find it confusing to keep track on all the characters named as each person had their own storyline but the further I got into the book the easier it became. One of the members comes up with what he thought was a great idea at the time to help track and know the whereabouts of each others stalker. as a threat that one of them would die in a few days time had been left for them all to see.
A great story with many twists towards the end.

As always CL Taylor doesn't disappoint with her latest offering.

I'm always excited when a new Taylor is released and this one was really good. I thought it read slightly differently to her more recent books, perhaps more like her earlier ones - which I actually prefer.

Lot's of tension and twists here, very much recommended to anyone who wants a psychological thriller to get stuck into.

I really enjoyed the beginning, especially the first chapter. After that I had a hard time staying interested with the different characters. It was a very fast paced read, but the momentum didn't keep up for me.
