Absolutely loved this! I tried to pace myself to read it more slowly but just had to keep reading. Fantastic!

I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

I love a good thriller, and this one had a great story line and characters. This book had some turns in it that kept me guessing until the end. I would definitely recommend this book. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

My kind of psychological thriller. Full of twists and turns that make your head spin and red herrings in abundance. Well played, Kim Slater.

I have been looking forward to read another K.L. Slater book ever since I finished Safe With Me last year, and this second book simply blew me away. Her debut psychological thriller was already good, but Blink was just BRILLIANT. Basically I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to figure out what was going on, and I ended up being SO wrong about everything. This title is without doubt psychological thriller at its best! Excellent prose, excellent plot and plot twists, excellent use of suspense, excellent character development... Blink has all the right ingredients for a great story. The main characters are maybe not all that likeable, but I personally didn't care. The fact that the main character seems to be paralyzed and in coma but is actually awake is truly fascinating and adds another excellent plot twist to the story. I loved every single minute of Blink and it doesn't happen often that a plot is able to mislead me that much. More than recommended if you like the genre!



Three years ago, Toni's five-year-old daughter Evie disappeared after school. The police were never able to find a trace of the little girl; there were no witnesses or evidence to give them a solid lead. But Toni belives her daughter is still alive. And as she begins to piece together her memories of the events around her daughter's disappearance, the full story of her past begins to reveal itself... Will Toni find a way to make herself heard and find her daughter before it's too late?



This title will definitely appear on my list of favorite psychological thrillers. Blink basically has everything I look for in a good thriller and I enjoyed every single minute of it. The 'paralyzed' chapters and the flashbacks are without doubt intriguing and add an extra original touch... The plot twists are excellent and had me guessing until the very end. Some of them are so shocking you would have never seen them coming!

As much as I felt it followed a pretty textbook set of twists and turns, I was hooked by this. It deals with some pretty bleak themes but it's satisfying (mostly). 
A pretty solid thriller for anyone who likes these kind of books.
