Twists and turns there may be but I found this hard to stick with. The pace isn’t quite right and it isn’t tied up well enough in the end.

In my opinion the romance was written awfully and the book would be much better without it.

This was my first read by Willis and now that I know there are 3 other books in this Addictive Psychological Thrillers series that came out in 2023, I will have to go back and read them all!

What I liked most was the strong female lead, Lexi, who starts out with a really, very bad, horrible, no good, day, and winds up with a high paying/low work job based on a recommendation from her previous boss. But you know what they say - if it seems too good to be true...

Lexi is one badass woman who has been able to take her former life of crime and turn it around, even to the point of discovering her empathy for orphaned and hospitalized children, a "voluntary" task her very volatile boss gives her to do in her place. But there are too many coincidences in her new job that are raising red flags for her, and her spidey sense is giving her all the warning signs. This is a wild rollercoaster ride that will have you finishing the book in one sitting!

Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe Books for this advance reader's copy!

A nicely twisty thriller about Lexi, who is trying to build a new life away from her family but finds herself in a web woven by Lillian, who isn't entirely what she seems. This is a bit unrealistic in parts and the romance is a tad icky but it is a page turner. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

it took me a while too get into this book and after the interview with sam and what was said you can kinda see where the stories going but thats what kept me reading because i wanted to know if i was right and how it was all going too come about - I like lexi she has a history but shes not going too let her past define who she is i also like jack because he sticks by and wants too help lexi once secrets start too come out. Their relationship also is what kept me reading.

This book was SO GOOD! I really enjoyed the story line and all the twists and turns along the way. Well done!

Lexi comes from a rough background and her father, a con man, is currently in jail. She thinks that she has pulled her life together when the bottom suddenly falls out. She is offered a job with Lillian, a millionaire who hires Lexi as a personal assistant. Lillian grows quite strange and there may be a connection with Lexi's father.
Enter a man that Lexi begins to have a relationship with. It did strike me as strange that she reveals sensitive information to him as she is in the midst of a situation where she can't trust those around her. I also felt that the romance subtracted some of the suspense in the book.

That being said it is a fast moving book

Great if you want an easy, light read. Creative twists and turns. Not the most realistic- but it is an original ride! Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for this opportunity!

This was a quick read that I finished in less than a day. The book centers on Lexi, who receives a too-good-to-be-true job offer and is trying to figure out what is really going on and if her new boss has any connection to her estranged father.

Lexi is a likable character and the pacing of the book is fast. Though some of the things that happened were unrealistic, there were many good surprises. There’s a thread of romance, which I certainly could’ve done without, and I found it odd that Lexi would be so quick to trust someone she just met with information she had never told anyone that could put her at risk. That aside, the dynamic between the characters was engaging and kept the pacing fast. The ending was tied up neatly and I thought it worked.

Overall, this was a quick and action packed read that maybe wasn’t totally my style, but was a good story nonetheless. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Personal Assistant was my first read of Becki Willis and it won’t be my last! The book’s main character is Lexi, a woman running from her past to escape her father’s life of crime and her manipulation into helping him. The book does start off slow and the Milkman chapters had me confused as to their significance, but the author does a nice job of wrapping it all up in the end with her twist! While I suspected the news Lexi had received visiting the prison was too good to be true, the twist still made me gasp at the end! A solid 4 star read. Thanks to NetGalley and Joffe books for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Publication Date: September 24, 2024

I did not love or hate this one. It was well written for sure, there were a lot of things going on though that sometimes I was scared of loosing the flow but it was well done. There was just something missing for me and the plot was too unrealistic for me to truly get into it more.

Absolutely loved this book. I am a thriller addict and The Personal Assistant is top tier. I will be purchasing for my libraries.

A great popcorn thriller! Some of the twists were a little predictable and some of it was a little convoluted, but the characters of Lexi and Jack, and the banter between them as they unexpectedly find themselves helping each other out, were priceless!

Lexi is one of my favourite badass FMCs; as I read more about her upbringing and how she turned her life around, I was filled with admiration for her and was rooting for her to succeed.

The pacing was great and I really enjoyed Becki Willis’s writing style.

4.5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Becki Willis and Joffe for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I have mixed feelings about this book.
On one hand, I LOVED the writing style. It flows effortlessly. Lexi as a character was great! She is very relatable. On the other hand, I found the main plot twist a bit unrealistic and I didn't really liked her relationship with Jack.
I will give Becki Willis another try though. Her writing truly is wonderful.

this is a page turning suspense story. lexi is having a bad day, loses her phone, purse is stolen and then her friend fires her . then she gets an offer of a job but is Leary of the people, but she does go to work for mrs sampson. then strange things happen and she is being staked ,she thinks, by a man . but he may be just the help she needs. very good i was given a copy of the book by net galley but this is an honest review

This book started off a little slow for me. When Michaela is born, her mother decides to abandon her and her father, Leo. Her up bringing wasn’t the greatest and she knew she had to get away from her Dad. She runs away and changed her name to Lexi and is ready to start a new life. When she gets a new job as an assistant to Sam, she knows it too good to be true. So many twists and turns! Things I didn’t expect at all. I liked her relationship with Jack. He really seemed to care for her and wanted to help her. Lexi’s dad was a creep and definitely didn’t give Lexi a good life. I was shocked by the ending but so happy with how things turned out for Lexi! I’d definitely recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley, Becki and Joffe Books are the ARC!

The Personal Assistant was a little tough for me to follow at times but was a good fast paced thriller that kept me guessing the whole time. The characters were well developed and I really enjoyed the plot twists too.

Oooh what a read

I was totally hooked on this one. Loved it

Lots of twists loved it thank you for the opportunity to review

5 stars

While this story was a bit of a hit or miss for me personally, it did have some good twists in it. Overall, not a bad writing style or plot!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC!

If you thought you were getting a run-of-the-mill domestic suspense, you are mistaken! This book had A LOT going on. At first I was really unsure about the sub-plot, but by the end, I was won over.

Lexi is unceremoniously let go from a job she loves with little explanation, and her day just continues to get worse. When she's offered a job as a personal assistant for a mystery businesswomen in the shipping industry, she's taken aback by the overly generous salary. Despite her misgivings, she accepts, and is confused by how little she's asked to do.

The daughter of a drifter who is now in prison, she's learned her whole life to be on guard and assess the situation. And while something about her new job just doesn't feel right, she's not sure what it is until little clues from her past begin showing up. Fearing that her criminal father has found her after years of running, Lexi is determined to find out the truth about who she is working for.

While a little dramatic and convoluted at times, this ended up being a fun read that you will definitely need to suspend disbelief for. Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the early copy. At the time this review was written, this book was slated to publish September 24, 2024.

I lost my phone. My purse was snatched. And I got fired . . . by my best friend. But now I’ve got a lifeline. That very day I’m offered a new job. PA to the millionaire businesswoman Mrs Lillian Samson. An amazing salary. Impressive benefits package! Wow!! This book had some really crazy shocking moments!! It had suspense, murder, mystery, serial killers, gas lighting, good characters, and a crazy who done it! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books for sharing this book with me!
