This was an enjoyable thriller to read. It kept me on my toes and holding my breath to see what's coming next. I recommend.

While i felt that the book started off very slow, it definitely picked up around chapter 14 and i felt connected to the characters and like i was experiencing the rollercoaster with them!
Overall a good read with a slow build up

It's a good thriller with a plot heavy storyline! I would recommend it to everyone who loves a good thriller but you should check the trigger warnings!

A fast-paced thriller that will have you hooked. I loved waiting to see what would happen next. I recommend this title.

If you only knew how amazing this book is! Holy cow I love a book with great twists and turns and this book delivered.

I throughly enjoyed this, the twists kept me on the edge of my seat and I needed to know more. The charecter development was amazing and just as I believed I had it all figured out the entire thing twisted on its head

I read this book in one day. This book was a great, action packed whodunit that kept me guessing until the end,

This is my second Theo Baxter book, and I truly love his books. It will not be my last.

Thanks Netgalley for my copy.

I wasn't impressed with this book. 2 star rating for me

i really wanted to love this book but sadly i didn’t enjoy it at all. it started so well and i was excited to continue the “shocking thriller” but there was nothing shocking

I was expecting a sinister thriller, but this was simply an account of Emily and Teddy’s nasty divorce.

It started good but then was a bit slow the ending was ok

If only you knew by Theo Baxter.
I do love this author.  This is book 8 I've read. I loved the cover. Wow. I did enjoy this book.  I liked Emily. I really didn't like Teddy. I did like how William was trying to help Emily in the end. This was unputdownable. I liked Laura and their Father. That did surprise me.  4*.

This was a very entertaining and thrilling read for me! As someone who loves psychological thrillers (movies and books), I can honestly say this was very captivating.
 
It’s really hard to find a good thriller, but this one was enjoyable!
 
I will say though, it doesn’t really keep you guessing, unfortunately, but it’s still very much worth the read. A fun and riveting adventure!
 
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy!

3.5⭐️

it started really well and i was getting ready to continue the thrilling effect but there was nothing shocking or thrilling about it. I ended up not enjoying it so well

Overall very good book! Kept me reading the whole time and interested in what would be happening next. Original plot line!

Thank you, NetGalley for the opportunity to read this early access book. It’s released now but, I’m thankful that I got to read it. I enjoyed this book a lot. Some of the things that happened were extremely insane and probably didn’t need to happen but, I still enjoyed reading it.

I predicted one of the twists but the many twists that followed I didn’t predict.

Overall, good book and if you love twists you’ll enjoy this one even if some of them are a little “too” much 🙃

I’ve read a couple of stalker thriller books recently and that might be why I did not enjoy this book as much. This book was a little too fast paced for my taste both overall I didn’t dislike it too much.

This was a fast paced thriller that's under 300 pages. Emily becomes repetitive at times and I didn't care for her as a FMC. I found myself finishing it just to see who the stalker was.

I truly enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who loves domestic suspense as much as I do. I have begun reading other books by Theo Baxter and will continue to, as they are well-written, perfectly plotted and seem to contain all the elements that make the “till death do us part” genre my all-time favorite.

Thank you to Inkubator Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

Really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend. So much so, I have requested to read the author's next book too via NetGalley.

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing the ARC.

The story had a solid foundation, but I struggled to connect with the characters. The plot twists and events felt implausible and strained belief.

Emily, navigating a difficult divorce from her soon-to-be ex-husband Teddy, faces relentless stalking, harassment, and manipulation throughout the process. The book chronicles the turmoil of the divorce and its aftermath.

While not my favorite read, it wasn’t terrible either. It could benefit from more development and refinement.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for giving me access to the book.

Trigger warnings: Domestic Abuse, Suicide, Narcissism, SA (mentally and online), Use of AI to create fake p**n

Where do I begin?

Despite initially being interested in this book, reading it felt like a chore. It's short, less than 300 pages which means I should get through it in a day, but I found myself having to take pauses between chapters not because of the huge and sensitive topic, but because I couldn't understand the writer, the characters, and the scenes.

The writing style felt very telling. It's difficult trying to find the sweet balance between having conversations and just repeating things that happened between characters. The writing style left so much on the table, I didn't understand what I was taking away from it.

As a whole, a better writing style might have made the book shine. But the characters especially the main character just soured the show.

Emily suffered majorly at the hands of her mother and then her husband. For someone who really wants to take charge of their life, she felt very comfortable allowing other people to do that.
And I understood she was a victim, and I feel sad for her, but honestly this book isn't a book about resilience. And not all books can but I find that a book like this might have been better written from a perspective of someone who had something in common with Emily. A lot of the things, choices, and actions just didn't make sense.

Teddy was such a caricature that reading about his scenes made my eyes and ears hurt. Then Williams, I have nothing to say about him.

P.S: making Williams bi and then the scene of Emily talking about Sheldon (who's like her father's age) having the hots for Williams was creepy. It didn't need to happen but like ewww.
Also, how does Teddy have Randy's number? Or know Randy? That part made no sense and the explanation for it just made me want to give up.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.
