Very well written!! The way the author really got inside the mind of the main character was just so realistic, put you right in her situation
Mia fled the small town in North Dakota that she grew up in with her twin brother Lucas and alcoholic mother, and now has a new life in Chicago. When she gets a call from the local police telling her that her brother is being accused of having a sexual relationship and subsequently murdering of one of his underage students, she immediately returns home. Convinced that he is innocent, Mia wants to do everything she can to help her brother - she just needs to know why he ran...
Overall, I loved Follow Me Down! It was super twisty, and I was questioning everyone and everything! I had no idea who to trust and who was reliable. As the story progresses, we learn about how intertwined things can get in a small town.
I will say that it took me a little bit to get into the book, but once I got about a third of the way in, I couldn't put it down! I was dying to find out what happened and could not wait until the resolution. I loved how dedicated Mia was to her brother's case and that her support and belief in him never wavered.
Despite Mia's obvious issues and struggles, I really liked her as a narrator. She was constantly trying to figure this mystery and crime out, and let nothing stop her from doing so, even when it was apparent that she too was in danger. She felt like a strong independent character who relied on no one, and I enjoyed reading that.
There were so many twists and turns in the book, and I loved that! Each little detail that was revealed had me analyzing every character and the actions they took trying to figure out whether or not Lucas really was guilty, or if there was someone else to blame. When the resolution was revealed, I was totally blindsided! The ending was fast paced and kept me hooked until I finished the book.
Follow Me Down is a dark, twisty thriller that I'd recommend for all fans of the psychological thriller genre. It got 4/5 stars from me! Thank you to Netgalley, Sherri Smith, and Forge Books for an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Follow Me Down is out TODAY (3/21/17) so be sure to pick up your copy now!

Decent thriller. I read so many of these dang suspense books and yet I still did not see the ending coming.. at. all. In my defense I'm not the brightest tool in the shed.

Follow Me Down came highly recommended from several of my book friends, and after reading it, yeah!!! This is an engrossing, suspenseful book! Mia's brother is a teacher accused of murdering one of his students. From the very beginning, you don't know who to believe- who's really guilty of the murder? A red herring here, a twist there; this book consumed me until I figured it out. Sherri Smith is a new powerhouse of suspense! Cannot wait to read what she writes next! Thanks to Caryn, the Book Whisperer, the author, and the publisher, for a complimentary copy. This was my unsolicited review.
Good twisty thriller. My only objection? I really didn't like the main character!
Sherri Smith has written a suspenseful thriller with Follow Me Down. Mia is a persistent, loyal, and intelligent protagonist, never stopping no matter how many times she gets the side-eye, or the verbal abuse, or even the physical abuse. The reader is torn between wanting to believe Lucas for her sake to suspecting he just might be a killer. Follow Me Down will keep you guessing to the end. I can't wait for more from this author. This book reminds me a bit of early Gillian Flynn, but with more likeable characters.
**overall rating 4.5**
I loved Follow me down.
As a twin myself, I really felt connected to Mia and Lucas. Everything they've been through either together or separately really played with my emotions. I felt anger, guilt, frustration etc..
The book really played out vividly in my mind, it was almost like I was watching a movie rather than reading a book.Sherri has crafted some brilliant characters in which I felt were all relevant in their own ways.
There are some twisty twists along the way that I didn't see coming at all!
Sherri has a unique way with words and has put together a gripping storyline that will have turning those pages.
So, if you want an edge of your seat, gripping, twisty thriller this is the book for you.

200 pages of the narrator popping pills bouncing around not doing much of anything. 20 pages of things happening.
