Many thanks to the Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing an ebook copy of My Girl in exchange for an honest review

Paige Dawson's daughter was kidnapped 10 years ago and only a forearm was found of her. Her husband has just committed suicide and she is on a downward spiral of drink and drugs. Things start happening during her blackouts that she can't explain, her husband is cut out of all their photographs, she wakes to a DVD playing that she had seen for years. Did she do these things and just can't remember? Her father, brother and mother-in-law are trying to get her help but she refuses then she finds a gun hidden in her husband's desk, why did he have a gun? Paige wants to get to the bottom of what happened in the run up to her husband's suicide.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I will definitely be reading more. I loved the twist in the middle of the book that I didn't expect. I was hooked after the first couple of pages and finished the book in a day. I loved his style of writing and Anything for Her is top of my beach reading list which will be devoured in a couple of weeks time.

I am a fan of psychological thrillers and found myself sucked right into this one. Theories as to what was actually going on were running through my head as I read this story, but they were all proven to be wrong when the author turned everything on its head.

The way he does this is so well done I did not see it coming at all. This is a brilliantly written story which will keep you guessing throughout.

This book has just the right amount of grip and i love that it’s short. If i hadn’t started it late at night, i probably could have read it in one sitting. However i’m not sure i’ve read the words bile and vomit so much in such a short period of time

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

WHOA was this an intense and crazy read! Why haven't I heard about this author before? The writing in this one was AMAZING. I was sucked in from page one and I didn't stop until I turned the last page.

That said, I did have one tiny issue. This book was simply too short. I read it in under two hours. The pacing was good at first, it was a nice build up, some good mystery, then BAM we are off to the races and flying at ninety miles an hour. I loved the first half and I loved the second half. What this book needed to be a perfect 5 star read for me was a better transition between the two halves.

That said, I would definitely recommend this book to Psychological Thriller lovers, and I will for sure be keeping my eye out for more from this author.
