Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator books for the ARC of Never Let You Go by Caleb Crowe. This was the first book I read from Caleb Crowe and I am looking forward to reading more of his work! This book was perfectly written. I loved how phrases from the end of the chapter perfectly correlated to the beginning of the next chapter and tied the past and present together effortlessly. It was intense and kept me enthralled throughout the entire book, never quite expecting what was going to happen or what the ultimate outcome would be!

Caleb Crowe Author is an evil genius (or would that be bloody brilliant?) 😉 FYI, those of you looking for the books with short chapters, this has them.

I figured many things out long before the female lead character. Normally that would frustrate me and make me want to reach through the pages and slap the girl. Ariana was likable and I found myself inexplicably still rooting for her. I have so much to say about the male character Daniel, but that could get me into dangerous spoiler territory.

Although, I saw some of the twists coming, I still very much enjoyed the stories journey to and through the twists. There were some nice surprises I didn’t see blended in there too.

I have always hated when a stand-alone story wraps up with areas that have no definitive answers. It leaves me anxious, twitchy, and unsettled. I like the neat bow, that’s just me. Caleb Crowe managed to deliver an epilogue that left at least one looming question, but somehow still satisfied me.

Thank you to Caleb Crowe, Inkubator Books, and NetGalley for this great ARC.

This was a strong psychological thriller novel, it had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed from previous works of Caleb Crowe. Caleb Crowe continues to write a strong story and characters that I cared about. I was on the edge of my seat when reading this and thought the conclusion worked well.

My first book by Caleb Crow and it will not be the last! Hooked from the first pages. The story flowed well. The end and beginning of the chapters ended and started with the same words, I loved this! So many twists that you don’t know where you are going but you are loving getting there. Fantastic book. Well worth the read. I gave this 4 1/2 stars.

And Mr Crowe does it again!

I was looking forward to reading Never Let You Go as soon as I learned of its existence, and I was not disappointed.

I was wondering where the story was leading at first, then I’m drawn in to Daniel and Ariana’s story and didn’t want to stop reading until the end.

Love, adoration, bonding, obsession, stalking and revenge are all present. Oh… and murder, of course!

Thank you Caleb Crowe and NetGalley for the ARC.

Took me a hot minute to get into this book and I really don't know why I think it was definitely a me thing. However once I did get into it I enjoyed it

Unfortunately I couldn't engage with the ploy or characters. I can see why this author's books are popular but I don't think they're for me after trying two books.

Never let you go, by Caleb Crowe almost never let me put it down. The book was compelling and kept me wondering what was going on throughout. Ariana, a young 17-year-old girl having gone through foster care finally found a place. she thought she belonged, caring for two children as an au pair. Daniel a 12-year-old boy staying in the home where Ariana thought she made a connection, and may have found a place she belonged. However, things don’t always turn out the way you envision them.

First off, I absolutely loved the writing style of this book and how it seamlessly connects the past and the present. The story flows so smoothly, and it’s incredibly gripping!

Usually, when I guess the plot of a book early on, I struggle to rate it higher than 3 stars. But with this book, even though I predicted the plot from the beginning, it kept me hooked until the very end. I couldn’t stop turning the pages—it was such a fantastic story and an unforgettable reading experience.

First, and foremost, a huge thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This is my first book by Caleb Crowe and absolutely will NOT be my last. Well developed characters with a compelling plot that had me staying up to finish the book. It spans 10 years ago and the present, and you see how the child from 10 years ago grew up. Each chapter ends with an exact tie in to the next chapter, whether it's past or present. That's something I really enjoyed and haven't seen before in a novel.

When people die 10 years ago, and the house burns down, it's assumed one person did the deeds. But, did they? 10 years later, similar to the past, people die or mysteriously disappear. It can't be the same person, can it? What if it is? The twists were satisfying and well executed. I highly recommend this book, and now you'll find me reading all of the his others.

I received an ARC copy, and this is my honest, unbiased opinion. I really enjoy a thriller that focuses on character development, and Caleb Crowe delivers. I liked how the first quarter of the novel carefully laid out little clues, backstory, and buildup into Ariana’s and Daniel’s personalities and experiences. I found that Daniel’s mental health was written realistically and thoughtfully. The pacing was good, and the twists and turns were great. The ending felt a little lacking, but all in all, I give this a 4.5-star rating.

This was a great and entertaining read. I didn't find anything too unique about it but I was invested to see it through to the end. Great characters.

Such a good story. I started on the 11th and finished it 3 days later. It would have been finished even sooner had I not had other books going at the same time. Although I did have some things figured out, I was not prepared for everything. This is one of those books that just grips you from the beginning and doesn't let you go 😉

I really enjoyed this book!! It held my interest and I did not want to put the book down. I have read Crowe's other books and I am a big fan of his character development and how he tells the story. I enjoyed the dual time lines and twists in this particular story. Ariana and Daniel are both troubled individuals, but Crowe does a great job of still making them likeable in this story. Without giving away any spoilers, the layers to Daniel's character and issues are very well done. I had some mixed opinions on the ending which left me with a 4.5 star review for this book.

Thank you to NetGallery and Inkubator books for allowing me to be an ARC reader of this book. I will definitely continue to recommend this book.

Thank you so much to Inkubator books and Caleb Crowe for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Wow!! Just wow! This book had everything I love in a psychological thriller! The story alternates between the past and present, and the author's way of transitioning between chapters/timelines is very clever, it did not go unnoticed. I love books that I can't stop thinking about when I'm not actively reading and this was one of those. The twists and suspense are evenly paced and although I figured out fairly early on what was going to happen I was still heavily invested in the story and eager to continue reading it. The twists don't disappoint. This was my first read by Caleb Crowe and definitely will not be my last.

This is a slow burn thriller. The main plot was fairly predictable, though there were a few unexpected minor twists along the way.

The writing was excellent - I considered adding an extra star just for that. I loved the clever transitions between the dual timelines.

Thanks NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the opportunity to read this.

Never Let You Go by Caleb Crowe
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a fantastic psychological thriller! The story is very intense and suspenseful! I was completely sucked in and surprised throughout the entire read! It’s such an entertaining and emotional roller coaster of a story.
This book has dual timelines from 10 years prior, with Ariana & Daniel as teens, to current day, Ariana & Daniel as adults. It builds up the storyline perfectly!

This is my first book from this author and he’s going to be a definite must read for me!
Thank you to NetGalley for an arc of this amazing and exciting story!!
*It comes out January 26th and is a must read!!*

This was an intriguing slow burn thriller read. The dual timeline structure was original, if a little repetitive towards the end. The art forgery subplot was engaging, and although the ending was fairly predictable, I enjoyed the book and the philosophical musings in the epilogue. Very well written with a lot of depth and great character development. 4.5 starts rounded up.

Caleb Crowe’s Never Let You Go is an elegantly crafted psychological thriller that grips you from the first sentence to the last. The unique structure—starting each chapter with the previous chapter’s final words—creates a seamless, hypnotic flow that heightens the suspense and pulls you deeper into the story.

Ariana and Daniel’s bond is equal parts poignant and unsettling, and Crowe expertly unravels their shared past while building tension toward a chilling and unforgettable conclusion. The writing is sharp and atmospheric, with twists that kept me guessing until the final page.

For fans of dark, emotionally charged thrillers, Never Let You Go is an absolute must-read. A brilliant exploration of obsession, trauma, and the inescapable pull of the past!

This book takes you for a wild ride… I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did or be as shocked by the twists and turns — but it really did have me on the edge of my seat!

Well worth the 4 star review and a recommendation to any thriller lover!
