Another great read from Sian Gilbert.

Such a twisty story, that kept me turning those pages, wanting to know what would happen next.

With great characters some I loved some I disliked, but they all brought something special to the story.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House UK for the ARC

I absolutely loved this book! From start to finish, it was a gripping read with a perfect blend of thriller elements and the drama of Below Deck. The fast-paced storytelling kept me hooked, and the mystery element was woven in so well that I was constantly trying to piece everything together.

One of the strongest aspects of the book was its characters. Each one had real depth, and their development throughout the story made them feel incredibly lifelike. At first, I found it a bit challenging to keep up with the multiple POVs, but once I got to know the characters better, following their perspectives became much easier—and even more enjoyable.

The ending was everything I wanted and more. It wrapped up the mystery in a way that was both satisfying and surprising. I couldn’t put the book down and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves a fast-paced thriller with well-developed characters. A solid 5-star read!

For those who love luxury, rapid fire twists and below deck.

Sasha is starting on her first charter aboard the Ophelia. She’s running from something but little does she know that everyone she is about to meet is too.

I struggled slightly with the amount of characters and I think the fact they were all so similar did hold the pace back a bit, but the denouement is honestly about 10 twists in thirty pages so if that’s your style you will love this.

I would have liked to see a little more from the characters as when the ending comes I wasn’t really too bothered who the “Baddie” was just as long as I got my explanation.

I received this book as an Arc from Netgalley in return for a honest review which this is. Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers.

At first I didn't like it because the only characters I could stand were Sasha and Jasmine, the others were horrible and such bad people. But I kept reading, the twists were really good and I got to like the other characters a lot.
Great job, I liked this book very much.

Oh my gosh, I literally was up all night reading this. It was so worth the lack of sleep! I could not force myself to stop I wish I could go back and force myself to slow down, re-read it and savour every moment. I loved it!

This plot had me hook, line and sinker! One of the most gripping, unputdownable, nerve-wracking books that I have EVER read!!! It had me on the edge of my seat throughout!

I’d recommend clearing your schedule before you start it as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down! I loved the concept and the plot basically everything about it!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars!

I find it difficult to give feedback on this book as I feel it was aimed at a younger audience than me! I did not particularly enjoy reading it but persevered to the end. I would give it 3 stars.

A luxurious yacht, beautiful but secretive crew members, and a murder that threatens to expose everything. I Did Warn Her is a clever and thrilling locked-room mystery set aboard a billionaire’s yacht, brimming with secrets, rivalries and twists that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

The Ophelia is a yacht that oozes opulence. Owned by a ruthless billionaire, the vessel is staffed by a crew whose only mission is to pamper the wealthy guests and fulfil their every desire. Sasha, a last-minute hire, joins the crew for a weeklong Atlantic crossing, where she meets her fellow stewardesses—Jade, Imogen, Euphemia, and Lola—each stunningly beautiful and each running from their problems. However, the yacht, despite its gleaming exterior, holds its dark secrets.

A stewardess from the previous charter died under mysterious circumstances, expensive jewellery continues to vanish, and a growing sense of suspicion hangs over the crew. When the yacht’s owner brings aboard his best friend and two more beautiful women, each with their hidden agendas, tensions rise even further.

Then, after a night of partying, one of the crew members is found dead. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect, and the mystery deepens. Who is the jewel thief? Who is the murderer? And what will happen when the lights go out, and the luxury of the yacht is stripped away?

I Did Warn Her is a deliciously twisty whodunnit set against the backdrop of a world of wealth and decadence. The high stakes and ever-growing tension between crew and guests make for a truly gripping read. The secrets of the ultra-wealthy have nowhere to hide on the high seas, and this novel takes you on a thrilling ride that is impossible to put down.

For fans of mysteries, suspense, and thrilling plot twists, this book is a must-read.
