Trying to make a concerted effort to clear out my backlog of Netgalley proofs.

This one was great! I am a sucker for thrillers so you’ll find me requesting those the most usually.

Great characters and great twists! I love being taken for a ride and I want more!

I was excited to read The New Girl. Thrillers are basically my favorites now and this looked to fit right on in. It was entertaining enough but there were more twists and turns in this book than I bargained for.

There are references to abuse and mental health in this which may be triggers for some, however they do relate very much to the start. The story is a good one and the plot is very good.

The characters were well developed.

Sharing a home with someone isn’t always easy, even if they are family or friends.

In this instant these two need to be together in order to have affordable rent. Mary is odd though, the reader can sense this themselves although it’s not us living with her!

It’s a fascinating plot that was good and held my attention

The New Girl by Ingrid Alexandra

Definitely a must read especially for single women living with roommates. It certainly makes you wonder who can you trust. Mary has a roommate named Rachel and for some reason Mary’s friends don’t really like her that much. However Mary really feels sorry for her after all of the bad things that has happened to her. Rachel does seem to know a lot about Mary. More than anyone will actually know. The only downside to this book was the ending. I will not give it away On the hopes that if you read it, you will have a different opinion. The writer does a great job at holding the readers interest but I was really hoping for something more at the end.

This was a good, fast-paced psychological thriller, and it kept me interested. I was a bit disappointed in the ending. However, it was still a good read.

The New Girl by Ingrid Alexandra is a book about the main character, Mary, on the run from an abusive relationship. This is the first Ingrid Alexandra book I've read and I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the format of this book with its short chapters. The story is interesting and the characters and fully fleshed out. I did have some issues with consistency in this book but I was able to overlook it.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I wasnt sure of this book to start with but actually i really enjoyed it.

There were so many twists and turns to the story. You think you have managed to work it out but you haven't.

It is an easy read which is good as you can fly through it in a couple of days.

Keeps you guessing till the end.

This was a great solid debut novel by an author that must be watched in future. The book started out reminding you of Single White Female, but was even better with every twist and turn!

I wanted to love this and I was interested in the beginning but I lost that interest and somehow couldn't really get back into the story.
Just wasn't for me.
Thank you to the author, Netgalley and the publisher for my free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I wish you success with this book.

Very interesting story. Mary is renting a place with two other roommates, they decide to get one more and Mary meets Rachel. Although the other roommmates aren’t crazy about Rachel, Mary is drawn to her, thinking that Rachel - like herself - is recovering from an abusive relationship. There is so much more to this story with the disappearance of Mary’s parents, Mary’s past abusive relationship & mental health, a murder, and who exactly is Rachel? Compelling read!

I just finished this book. Hold on one second while I catch my breath…
Ok, so if you’re looking for a book that has an incredible twist that you won’t see coming until the end? Yep… you found it. “The New Girl” is an incredibly fast paced read.
Cat, Mary, and Ben are looking for a new roommate to share a big apartment on the seaside. When Mary greets Rachel after she knocks on the door one afternoon, it’s clear that she’s the perfect tenant to share the apartment. She relates to Mary more than Mary realizes it at first.
I will not spoil the crazy ass plot of this story any further but will tell you… seasoned readers of psychological thrillers will love the unpredictable twist that will leave you gasping aloud! So we highly recommend this book and we look forward to reading more of Ingrid Alexandra’s books!
Thank you Ingrid for the ARC copy of your amazing book in exchange for an honest review! Truly our pleasure!

Great Read! It made me stay up past my bedtime for sure. I was very surprised by the ending and wasn't expecting it. I love when a book proves me wrong!

Thank you Netgalley for letting me read this ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

A decent psychological thriller set in Australia. Mary, the main character is interesting enough for me to keep reading and see where her story will take me. Though, I find it hard to connect with her most of the time. I appreciate the twist and turn of the story but I wished there's more to it, especially the bits about her parents, than the repetitive back story about her ex-boyfriend. Still, it was a good read overall.
