Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I did enjoy this book and it is fast paced but it fell a little flat for me as a thriller. Many of the twists were predictable.
When the main character is an author trying to write a book it often puts me off a little. I know it's 'write about what you know' but I see it a lot in fiction lately and I found it hard to engage with the main character.

4.5⭐️: fantastically paced

I enjoyed everything bar the ending. There was so much suspense throughout the book, it kept me trapped and I didn't trust a single character. I couldn't wait to see who was behind the weird happenings. But finding out it was her jealous sister was anticlimatic and then the house fire just didn't feel right. Plus, I would of liked to know more of the aftermath such as how her and Flynn got back together, what did they tell people that happened? However, I did like the very last page about her sisters manuscript being moulded between them both and their mum, plus the extra "for my sister" dig. But ultimately, I'd of liked a more dramatic ending.

Really enjoyed this book, I wasn’t expecting the twists at the end and it kept me guessing throughout.

Voyeurism - Someone always watching you does creep you out! The red herrings were very red and very ... fishy ... and just when you thought you knew the answer there was another change. And each little 'Previously' chapter laid another path to travel upon, only to change direction on you. @lucyclarke_author has done an exceptional job with this book and it is coming to you, from me, highly recommended.
I was glad it ended the way it did. Not that I am into spoiling things for you, but sometimes the result you get is what is meant to be.
