Callie has allegedly died, her belongings were found but not a body. At least that's what her former partner Duncan is meant to think. In reality she has moved and gone to live with some old friends in Norfolk. Duncan is a celebrity and to begin with Callie couldn't believe that he was interested in her. She has gone from a confident young woman to one who questions every move she makes. Duncan was very controlling and punished her for any wrong move- from violence to shutting her away for hours on end and worse. Alternating chapters tell of her life with Duncan and since the escape. When she hears noises around the cottage she is terrified that Duncan could have found her. Can she stay hidden and more to the point stay safe?

Ooh! This is another cracker of a read from Keri. There’s a palpable tension between the pages which grew the further I got into the book. It is unsettling in parts, but maybe few realise that this type of thing does happen in real life and books like this raise awareness of both domestic abuse and coercive control. A brilliant plot that kept me enthralled all the way through. Clever, calculated and chilling. One to keep you up all night reading.

A proper edge of your seat thriller, this one. Hard to read in some places but what a great story, I couldn’t put it down and finished it in two days.
The quaint Norfolk setting was a great co treat to the fear Callie felt every day and the plot was fast paced with no let up.
The characters, especially Callie, were well written and I couldn’t help but feel for Callie’s plight.
It’s a 10/10 for me, the perfect novel to curl up in a safe warm bed with.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Nowhere to hide by Keri Beevis was a pretty intense domestic suspense novel. From the start (and the description) you know Callie is running away from a loving relationship gone wrong with Duncan, but as the book unfolds you start to see how the relationship progressed and got to such a poisonous place.

The gaslighting and abuse was hard to read because you want to serve Duncan a taste of his own medicine, but it’s balanced with Nico, an old friend of a friend who is supporting Callie and trying to build trust with her. And while this type of story has been done before (including in movies) the reason for that is because it is happening to people every day, and I appreciated reading a well written story that seemed to have the possibility of a happy ending for the characters.

I would recommend this for anyone who enjoyed domestic suspense!

Callie Parker falls madly in love with Duncan Stone, a retired actor. To her surprise, the feeling is mutual. Within weeks, she is living with him.
Then she gets to know the real Duncan Stone, who has alienated her from her friends and family, and controls her every move.
She cannot run, she has nowhere to hide.

Wow, this really is an edge of the seat thriller. Callie is frightened and has no confidence. The man really broke her spirit.

She feels she can trust no one, and she is correct. The sweetest smiles hold the darkest secrets.

Thanks to Netgalley and Boldwood books for the opportunity to read this book.

This is a deeply unsettling novel, centreing on control. It's well written and has plenty of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. It was definitely a strong page turner, I loved it.
