Once I started this book, I didn't want to put it down! Nowhere to Hide is gripping, shocking, and tense! Woohoo! Keri Beevis never disappoints! What an addictive page turner!

He seemed like the perfect boyfriend. Duncan came across as charming, intelligent, caring, and generous. But soon after moving in, Callie learned his true nature. He is diabolical, controlling, and cruel. Getting away will prove to be beyond difficult.

Now after being helped, she is in hiding and setting up a new life for herself in Norfolk. But due to everything Duncan has put her through, she has a hard time relaxing. She is constantly checking her surroundings and fearing for her safety. I thought Beevis did a great job showing how traumatized Callie is because of the abuse she suffered. She is hypervigilant and anxious as a result.

This book was full of tension and a sense of danger. The pacing was spot on and kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed the mounting suspense and found myself feeling concerned for several characters. There is also a side story about a missing young woman that comes into play as well. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen next, Beevis threw in another twist and reveal.

Well written, well thought out, gripping, shocking and tense!

Callie Parker can’t believe her luck when she meets the most eligible Batchelor and ex movie star Duncan Stone, and he asks her out. Why me she thinks. Soon she finds herself in a whirlwind romance and he asks her to move into his estate. But, as soon as she moves in the real façade of Duncan Stone materializes. He turns out to be a controlling, manipulative and abusive man. She has seen how far the man will go and she feels that her life is in jeopardy. The only way she can escape this life is to fake her own death.
This is a tense, chilling read, with lots of twists and turns and I felt it is realistic account on what happens in a abusive relationship so much, that at times I had to stop because I felt it a little bit uncomfortable for me. Which has never happened before. But I am glad I finished it as it has a satisfying ending. 4 stars from me.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

This book was hard to put down from start to finish.

After Callie and her boyfriend start living together, she realises that maybe she shouldn’t have done. As he starts to abuse her, and uses her dog to torture her.

Slowly he begins to stop her from seeing her friends and family, blaming it on her in the process.

It was hard to read in places.

I highly recommend this book.

What a story, I cannot believe` that Callie allowed a handsome face take her in! Physical and mental abuse, she her self - respect and her feisty personality. Until one day when she she runs into a friend who refuses to be bullied away. After escaping from a boyfriend not her legal husband, but a boyfriend who has threatened to kill her, and he, Duncan Stone, handsome movie star means it when he says, I will kill you if you leave me. Finally Callie does, she has a plan, she thinks that she is somewhere safe, but is she?
This is brutal abuse, be warned.
I recommend if you can deal with abusive behavior.
Thank you #Netgalley #BoldwoodBoooks

“Nowhere to hide” by Keri Beeves

Wow, what a story, this had me gripped and I stayed up way too late to finish it!

"Nowhere to Hide" introduces us to Callie Parker, who finds herself swept off her feet by the charming and famous Duncan Stone. Initially flattered by his attention, Callie soon realises that her fairytale romance with Duncan is turning into a nightmare. Duncan's manipulation and control escalate, leaving Callie isolated and imprisoned in her own life. Desperate to escape, Callie must summon all her courage to break free from Duncan's clutches.

The book was so gripping and suspenseful, keeping me on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The alternating timelines between past and present provide depth to Callie's character and add suspension to the emotional story.

"Nowhere to Hide" is an unputdownable page-turner that delivers thrills and suspense in equal measure. I hope to read more by Keri Beevis's in the future.

I would like to express my thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an early review copy

***Trigger Warning*** Lots of mental and physical abuse!

I wish I could say I enjoyed reading this book but I truly did not. I spent most the time pissed off at this awful man. I actually had to take breaks from reading every time the man interacted with Chester the dog. As a big lover of dogs my heart was really hurting for Chester. All he wanted was to love and be near his mom 😓
Ok but besides the dog interactions- I did like the story. It does a great job at making you love the main character and really sympathize for her. I enjoyed that the last 25% really had me on the edge of my seat with suspense and topped it off with a great twist.


Thank you to NetGalley, Keri Beevis and the publisher for this early release in exchange for an honest review.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed a number of Keri’s books, I was keen to get my hands on this latest offering and it did not disappoint! This is a fast paced and gripping psychological thriller which had me on the edge of my seat from page one. Told in ‘then’ and ‘now’ chapters, the tale mainly focusses on the relationship between Callie Parker and Duncan Stone. Duncan is a truly atrocious character and throughout I was wishing for his downfall, whereas Callie is easy to like, and root for – her sheer determination and resilience are to be commended.

As you would expect, due to the nature of the book, there are descriptions on physical and mental abuse, which are not gratuitous but nevertheless are powerful and felt very real. I will also say that, if like me, you worry about animal abuse in a book like this, no animals are harmed, even though the threat is there. All in all, and gripping and incredibly emotional tale, which is not for the faint hearted, and due to the subject matter should perhaps be approached with caution.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of Nowhere to Hide by Keri Beevis.

Callie Parker meets the famous Duncan Stone at an event. He is rich, handsome, charming and one of the country's most eligible bachelors. To her surprise he is interested in her! They have a whirlwind romance as Duncan sweeps Callie off her feet. It doesn't take long before Callie is moving into his sprawling estate. Before long Callie discovers that Duncan isn't the kind loving man she fell for. He is cruel, manipulative and controlling. Callie is completely isolated and alone. She desperately wants to escape and with help from a friend she is able to escape to the countryside to a small ranch.

Callie is relieved she escaped and is in a safe place with an old friend but can't help but still feel paranoid in her little hideaway. She hears someone outside and night and wonders if someone has been in her home while she has been out Duncan is rich and powerful so who knows what lengths he would go to get her back. Has Duncan found her? What will he do to her?

I really enjoyed this book. It was suspenseful, thrilling and definitely a page turner. The depiction of abuse is brutal and felt so real and although hard to read at times, it made you feel how desperate Callie felt.

This was my first read by Keri Beeves and won't be my last. She wrote beautifully complex characters and she really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. I read this book in 2 days and couldn't stop thinking about it when I put it down. I've never hated a character more than Duncan Stone and I've read many disturbing books! 4 star read for me!

Incredible story about survival of the worst kind. Callie moves in with movie star boyfriend and is quickly wishing she didn't. He soon starts physically and mentally abusing her, and uses her dog as leverage by psychological torture. He alienates her from her friends and family, and makes it appear it is her fault. She doesn't know who to trust. It was hard to read in places not knowing how far the story would take me into her sad and frightening world, hoping she would overcome. It is a great story of perseverance and survival.

Thank you for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was an intensely chilling, compellingly gripping and an absolutely compulsive read!

Not suitable for the one chapter a night reader - not a remote chance of putting it down at the end of each chapter or feeling relaxed enough to sleep afterwards!

I probably wouldn't have chosen this book if I'd have realised just how scarily uncomfortable it was going to be, but just wow, this was one of the best books I've ever read and one I'll never forget!

Edge of your seat the entire book! Keri Beevis knocked it out of the park. I finished in a day!

Callie’s whirlwind romance with retired movie star Duncan turns sour when his true nature is exposed. Can Callie find an escape from the danger she’s accidentally put herself in? Callie and everyone around her better watch out, because Duncan does not like to be questioned or disrespected.

This follows two timelines, the past with Duncan and present time. Both are fast paced and keep the reader’s attention.

The very best part of this book is Callie’s love and devotion her sweet dog, Chester ♥️

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An Unsettling, addictive and atmospheric Thriller

The book is so messed up and twisted. Characters are deceiving too. It’s hard to trust anyone in this book. The writing is compelling. I was hooked from page one and couldn’t put it down. The ending and revelations at the end were shocking. The book has been narrated in Dual Timeline.

In the past, Callie Parker had a boyfriend Duncan Stone. He was possessive and always made her do things his way. He was so toxic for her that he sabotaged her growth and broke her mentally. She comes to Norwich to escape from her toxic boyfriend. Nico, Lauren’s brother comes to pick her. As soon as she settle in the cottage, strange things starts happening. Despite all the arrangements being made, she feels a strange kind of fear and soon it becomes so creepy for her when someone tries to comes inside the cottage and someone in Norwich around them is found dead. Soon her biggest fear comes true but what’s more terrifying is everyone is harbouring a secret. And things get messed up. The plot twists were shocking. The author did such a brilliant job. That ending, secrets, truth and revelations at the end were so unpredictable.

Many Thanks to the Author, Publisher and Netgalley.

Keri Beevis has done it again with a psychological thriller that is gripping and fast paced. From page one I was totally drawn in and couldn’t read it fast enough. When Callie meets retired movie star Duncan Stone and he is interested in her she can’t believe it. Very quickly he has moved her in to his home and is starting to control her, isolating her from family and friends. Desperate to get away she manages to get in touch with an old friend. But will she be able to ‘disappear’ or will Duncan find her. This is at times sinister and really shows how looks can be deceiving. The violence was quite graphic but did also leave some to the imagination. Callie showed so much resilience and never gave up. The fact that this is set near to where I leave was also a bonus as I recognised all the places in Norfolk. I can’t recommend this book or author enough! Thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for the ARC

I have to say I love an insane boyfriend thriller so this was right up my street and omg! Did it not have my hair standing on end. The characters are so well written and he's just vile! The hatred I felt for a completely made up character was insane but I was just so invested. I loved the twists and turns and the sheer resilience the MC showed. I can't fault this, I couldnt put it down! Amazing
