WOW!! If I could get away with writing that for my review I would but I can't but it really does sum up my whole take of Wrong Number.
I was a bit afraid to read Wrong Number at first, mainly because the blurb and how they ring Amanda's house and I was worried it was going to be like a horror in the making but thankfully it wasn't too scary. (Mainly as I read it in the night as well.)
Amanda Thorn is your typical woman, she works from home, is married to a perfect man who walked into her life at the right moment and they have a wonderful marriage. That is until, one call changed everything Amanda had ever believed and known in less than 24 hours.
Will Thorn is a normal man, goes jogging every morning, drives to work and loves to spend his free time with his wife. Although, he isn't a normal man at all, he has secrets. Secrets that could destroy the life he has built for himself, secrets that only he knows and would be willing to die for.
When Amanda gets a strange call from a man asking to speak to someone who didn't live there, Amanda didn't think anything of it. So when she says about it to Will later that night, she isn't expecting the chain-reaction of events that follow. Waking to find Will gone, Amanda is thrown into a world of uncertainty and not knowing what happened to him.
Although, Will isn't who anyone though he would be and Amanda realises that her life with him has been a lie and that she is married to someone she doesn't really know at all.
I couldn't believe the twists and turns that Wrong Number takes, it is thrilling and exciting all at the same time. I loved Amanda's character as similar to most female lead character's she is strong and determined but she is only heartbroken and doesn't know who to trust. This story made me have a range of different emotions, sadness for Amanda, unable to trust Will's character as you can't tell what is real and what isn't and loss not just for Amanda but for Will as well. I won't say what but if you read their story then you will see what I mean.
Wrong Number is so much more than a psychological thriller, it is a story about trusting the people we know, thinking we know them when we don't and love them regardless of the lies that they tell us as they always sound so believable. I can't wait for the next part in this series.
If I had to sum this book up in three words, they would be Unpredictable, Thrilling and Captivating.

An intriguing psychological thriller!

I gather that 'Wrong Number' is a debut novel for Carys Jones. From the outset, I was lured into this intriguing psychological thriller! It is fast paced which makes it a real page turner.

It introduces us to the apparently blissful newlyweds, Amanda and Will Thorne. They have the perfect home and all is hunky dory! One evening Amanda answers the land line and a wrong number certainly stirs up a hornets’ nest.

As I tend to avoid spoilers as much as possible, then suffice it to say that all is not what it seems for the couple. Amanda proves to be an extremely strong character, which is just as well as she has to unravel a series of unusual and disturbing clues.

Amanda's ex-boyfriend, Shane has a very important part to play in the scheme of things, and Amanda's mum has her own strong opinions.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, and awarded four and a half stars, as the ending was slightly implausible. However as there is to be a follow up from Carys Jones, then maybe it was deliberate, so I will certainly look out for it.

Wow. I was hooked from the beginning!

This was an interesting insight into receiving a wrong number phone call. I am loving how this genre is receiving more and more attention. They are addicting!

Jones did a wonderful job at keeping the reader captivated. Amanda seems to think she has the most perfect life. She has a wonderful, doting husband; a cushy job with flexible hours; an immaculate house. But it is all a ruse. This book is full of characters you can relate to and is realistic at every turn!

What would you do if suddenly you found out your entire marriage was a lie? Would you go to the ends of the earth, down a rabbit hole - through the darknet, to find what you thought was perfect?

Ahh, I was left with so many questions! I like how Jones concluded the story, but I need more! The sequel needs to come out faster!
