What a brilliant, brilliant story!! This is a psychological thriller that is just a touch more risqué than most - it is utterly compelling and ridiculously hard to put down!

The story comes with its fair share of plot twists as it tells the tale of Alice, a 20something woman who has known hardship - amazingly despite living hand to mouth, she was the sole beneficiary of a 2 million pound apartment in an affluent London residence. Alice obtains a voluntary role in a publishing agency, and is instantly drawn to her boss, the beautiful and enigmatic Mina. An unlikely friendship develops between the 2 alongside the somewhat unusual arrangement whereby Mina pays for use of Alice’s apartment for her own covert uses. Unbeknownst to Mina, the flat comes with 1 or 2 secrets of its own! Thrown into the mix Alice’s stalker, on-off boyfriend and Mina’s politician of a husband and a great story unfolds!

I won’t say more for fear of providing plot spoilers- it is a book that needs to be read and can’t be recommended highly enough!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

I was so lucky to be able to meet Lily Samson when she was promoting her first book The Switch and I instantly loved it so I was thrilled when I saw she had a new book out. Watch Me Watch You is an excellent psychological thriller which honestly does mess with your mind as you are reading! So many times I tried to guess what was about to happen but there is no way I could have guessed some of the twists and turns throughout the book! Excellently written and addictive!

Having loved The Switch by Lily Samson, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her newest release. This book is even better! Absolutely recommend this twisted tale of a women’s friendship.

I enjoyed reading this tangled web of characters double-crossing each other and keeping secrets. The story is told in dual perspective by Alice and her boss, Mina. You know that the story is building up to an 'event' and the tension builds throughout the book until it all comes together at the end. I liked that as the reader we could never be sure of each character's motivations and it was fun to piece together who was behind what. My favourite characters were the birds! I'm glad they were still thriving at the end of the book, I will always deduct stars if the pets don't make it. My only criticism is that some sub plots were introduced and built up quite a bit, only to not go anywhere. Overall though, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

On the outside Alice appears to be one of those lucky girls..

But Alice is struggling financially and she's in a fix with seemingly no way out. Mina seems to have the answer and offers Alice her luxury flat for the night....

This is a twisty and unexpected thriller. I neither liked Alice or Mina but quite honestly I was hooked. It is a fascinating read and it was a one sit read for me I couldn't put it down..

Another twisty page-turner from Lily Samson. Just when I thought l'd worked everything out, another plot twist appeared. I read it in two nail-biting sittings as I didn't want to put it down.

It was fabulous grabs you at page one and never lets go. Prepare for a rollercoaster thriller with a twist that will leave you breathless!

Mina what a character that’s all I’ll say my mind is blown! A massive 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars from me!

While her life seems perfect on the surface, Alice is struggling privately - not least, financially. So when she is made an offer she can't refuse by a politician's wife, Mina's charisma convinces Alice that she has found an easy way out of her troubles.

But that turns out to be far from the truth. And the events of one night are about to change Alice's life forever...

This is an easy read, and an interesting story. Worth checking out if you like twisty thrillers, it gets 3.5 stars.
