I received an advance review copy of the audiobook You’ll Never Know I’m Here by Kiersten Modglin from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media in exchange for feedback. Thank you!

This is a pretty short thriller, and I was surprised when I realized I was halfway through. I enjoyed the characters and didn’t mind the strong romance elements. 

While I found the narrator to be overly expressive, it didn’t take away from the story. The writing also seemed very preachy at times, but not so often it was a dealbreaker. 

Things went downhill for me at the end of the book. The conclusion felt abrupt and left some plot points unaddressed. I like a crazy ending as much as anyone for a thriller, but this was absurdly unbelievable. 

For readers looking for a thriller about a group of friends on vacation uncovering secrets and danger, I would recommend In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware or The Guest List by Lucy Foley.
