⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and the author K.L Slater for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

I love K.L Slater's books. She's defo on my must read list of thriller authors. I have read everything she has written and enjoyed them all.

This one was an enjoyable read but wasnt my favourite of hers.

It was a bit of a slow burn - not quite as fast paced as some other thrillers out there but I Ioved the unpredictability of the plot and the way the characters were threaded together.

Some tense moments as we read on to try unravel the mystery. A few twists and turns. I never knew quite where Slater was going with it. (Always what you want from a good psychological thriller)

It was very well thought out with short grippy chapters and Slater brought the past and present together brilliantly.

The final reveal was fantastic.

All in all, an enjoyable read and one I would recommend if psychological thrillers are your thing.

Already looking forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The book had a good amount of tension, twists and suspense. It was a little slow at times but the story came together well at the end.

YESSSSS, it's been so long since a thriller has truly gripped me and my god, this one did. A jumble of confusing, complicated characters and a story that I could not stop wanting to keep reading. Slater is one of the best that there is.

I was hooked from the start. It’s got twists galore and will keep you guessing all the way through

A must read

A tense and addictive story that totally absorbs the reader as you are constantly pulled between conflicting versions of whatever the truth actually is. The intensity continues right through to the end of the book to the point where it is difficult to see how there can ever be any positive outcomes. And yet there are. And they are as realistic and compelling as what came before.

This book had me hooked to keep guessing what was happening to the family and the characters in the book. There were so many twists and turns that you get attached to the characters when you learn something new about them from each chapter that keeps you guessing. Towards the end of the book it did start clicking who the culprit was but I didn’t really see it coming as you’re being shifting one direction and it turns out to be another.

I love a good psychological thriller and Message Deleted does not disappoint.

On her way to a job interview Saffy received a mysterious text message from her best friend Leona stating 'Can't speak...can't text or call ... please just come'. Already suspicious of Leona's controlling husband, Ash, Saffy drops everything and goes to Leona only to find the message deleted as quickly as it arrived and everything seemingly fine at Leona's house. However, shortly after this Leona, Ash and their daughter Rosie all disappear under suspicious circumstances and Saffy is now the main suspects.

There are lots of twists and turns in this book and a big build up to the final reveal. All in all this is a good read and will keep readers on their toes.

Saffy receives an urgent message from her friend Leona asking for help. When Saffy arrives, Leona denies sending it and the message has disappeared. Hours later, Leona has disappeared and the house is covered in blood. Saffy is already struggling with her personal life and things starts to fall apart. This was a real thriller, full of intrigue and twists. A great fast-paced read.

This is an easy read with a modern theme.

It is a little ott but that said I really enjoyed the story and how it played out.

I really like this author and have read a few of her books and this one is I one I couldn't guess what happens next so that made it all the more enjoyable.

Saffy and Leona have been friends since school - but since Leona married Ash they have drifted apart a little
However when Saffy receives 3 mysterious texts from Leona which are then deleted - she goes to her home to make sure she is ok
The very next day Leona and her family disappear and Saffy being the last one to see them - is suspect no1 …,,
A good old thriller with plenty of twists and turns
Thankyou NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review

I love KL Slaters books and this did not disappoint. Edgy, easy to read and kept me guessing throughout I loved it.

Loved this, such a different read and the ending 😱 wasn't expecting it at all. I really liked the characters, even the bad ones 🙈 as they added that extra something. Creepy setting in the woods, and all round good entertainment. Worth picking up for sure.

I really enjoyed this one, a unique psychological thriller that kept me guessing all the way through. I genuinely didn't know how this one would end and I enjoyed the final twist.

My 3rd book from this author and I have loved them all, I think it's time to check out the back catalogue.

This one is incredibly twisty and it was fun seeing all the storylines and characters come together in surprising ways. One thing that really stood out to me was how well the main character Saffy was written, she suffers from extreme worrying and as someone who does too I found it very realistic and relatable.

Just finished this information 24hrs.

The story line with staffy,poppy, Ash,lenoa is brill.

Friendship starts from when they teenagers and entwine their life's.

What a page turner that just keeps giving.

I found this book very fast paced. I loved the drama and speed of the storyline.
The story was believable and gripping.
The characters were also relatable and I found myself wanting to scream at the book as I was reading!
Great, unique storyline and I would recommend.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion

Message Deleted is an enjoyable thriller by K.L. Slater. An easy read that kept me gripped and had a few twists.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed all the twists and turns and didn't guess some of those end twists. I enjoyed the way the charecter was so hell bent of working out the mystery and finding justice in life.

I struggled to keep engaged at first & found the switching between past & present a bit frustrating at times however i persevered & am glad I was able to get a conclusion.

4.5 Brilliant book!!!

Really well rounded and thought out characters. Complex dynamics and a few twists a long the way. Loved the premise too. Knocking off half a star as it dragged a *tiny bit in the middle*. Overall a great, solid unputdownable thriller!
