Loved this one! Forget Me Not by Claire Allan will keep you up late into the night. It did for me.

It’s six in the morning during the hottest summer on record when Elizabeth O’Loughlin, out walking her dog, comes across Clare, a victim of a horrific knife attack, clinging onto life at the side of the road. Clare dies minutes later, but not before whispering her haunting last words to Elizabeth.

When it becomes clear that Clare’s killer has more than one murder on his mind, Elizabeth has to take drastic action or face losing everything. But what if she can’t stop a killer determined never to be forgotten?

There is a connection between the killer and the death of Elizabeth’s daughter but what is it? Clare’s final words keep echoing in Elizabeth’s mind but what can she do? Is someone after her since she is the one who found Clare? Do Clare’s friends know something?

This book is full of secrets, it’s dark and it’s twisty, in other words, it’s a wonderful thriller that keeps you guessing. Due out May 30.

Absolutely perfect genre for Claire Allen. I couldn’t put this down, this is the type of suspense that’s hard to find. The one that forces you to stay up all night to solve the case! I’ll regret it today because I’m exhausted but I also have a serious book hangover! Fantastic, amazing, all of the things!

I’ve just finished this fantastic book after falling asleep with it in my hands I didn’t want to stop reading as it came to a heart stopping end. I have read all of Claire’s books and for me her writing is just getting better and better.

There are so many great characters in this book and the twists and turns are amazing. The writing is flawless and the pace kept me hooked and had me guessing right to the end ( even though I was completely off the mark when the murderer was revealed. ) What a twist................

Warn them we’re the last words spoken by Claire as she lay at the side of the road breathing her last . Elizabeth who made the grim discovery whilst out walking her dog.held her hand and tried to comfort her. But who does Elizabeth need to warn? Who could have inflicted this horror on this young woman.?

I must warn you if you pick up this book you will definitely be hooked. Another gem from this Derry girl. Thank you to Netgalley, Avon Books UK and Claire Allan for my opportunity to read this 5 star book.

I read this In one sitting as I had to know who was responsible for the death of their friend. It’s a thrilling chase of a book which kept me changing my mind from one page to the next over who was responsible and what would happen next.

I LOVED this book!!! The plot was fabulous. The pace was fast and the twists and turns the story took were brilliant. I love all this author’s books and this one definitely did not disappoint. I can’t wait on the next one. Five stars from me. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Claire Allan for the advanced copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Absolutely loved this book. Fast paced plenty of twists I flew through this to find out what happened. An addictive thriller I’d recommend to anyone

Review: I really, really enjoyed this book. I was drawn in immediately. Rachel is despicable in a way, but you almost sympathize with her and understand why she does the things she does. Like the other books I’ve read lately, this book made me think. How would I react if my best friend was murdered and then I was being stalked by her murderer? How would I deal with constant scary news that the main characters had to keep dealing with? This was an awesome thriller with twists and turns and I thought I guessed what would happen and I was completely wrong! All you thriller fans out there will LOVE this book! I can’t wait to read more by Claire Allan!!!

As Clare lies dying, her last words are: "warn them." Who is she warning and why?

Forget Me Not is a psychological thriller with an excellent and intricate plot; it has a gripping storyline which kept me guessing until the end. A great read which I would recommend.

Wow, fab....u...lous, what a brilliant book, loved it from the beginning to the great ending. Great characters with plenty of twists and turns and I found it very hard to put my kindle down. I did read a couple of Claire's previous two books but this is the best by a long way.

I found as I got more into the book it built up the tension and brought this psychological thriller to a satisfactory conclusion which I never guessed. Well done Claire and I look forward to your next.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for giving me the opportunity to read this fantastic book.

Loved this book. Well written, engrossing plot, and excellent characterizations. Had me guessing until the very end (which, by the way, was four a.m.). Couldn't put it down until I found out who the villain was. Shocker! Highly recommend.

Forget Me Not by Claire Allan is was a psychological thriller that kept me guessing.
Elizabeth was out walking her dog when she found a woman dying. The woman had been brutally attacked and it turns out that there was a link to Elizabeth's daughter who had died a few years before.
The woman's friends are now in fear for their lives and the police are trying to find the attacker before he strikes again.
I enjoyed this book and read it in a couple of days. I will be looking out for more from this author.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Claire is such an accomplished writer and has made the switch to psychological fiction seemlessly. Another excellent book, taut and twisty. Well done!

Really enjoyed this book, i love claire's style of writing. This is the first book i have read by her and will certainly be looking up more. Finished it in a couple of days, it will keep you interested right up until the last page.

Forget Me Not by Claire Allen 🖤

This was just another fantastic psychological mystery thriller. I literally couldn’t put this down. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
‘Warn them’. Those the last words of a dying woman found in a ditch. This is the beginning of the new book by Northern Irish author Claire Allan. This book was an absolute rollercoaster, the writing is brilliant and the characters were so well written. I particularly loved Elizabeth the elderly lady who found the body at the beginning. I thought I guessed who the murderer was but wow what an absolute fantastic revelation at the end. I will say no more. Please go read this. Highly highly recommended xx

Another wonderful thriller by this author. Full of shocking twists and turns and compelling characters. This is a book that I couldn’t put down.
The ending of this was a final chilling twist to the story

Elizabeth is taking an early walk with her dog when she discovers Clare who has been murdered. As she does in her arms she whispers something to Elizabeth. Clare’s friends Rachel and Julie are besides themselves with grief but they also appear to be in danger and how are they linked to Elizabeth?

This was a good read and I really enjoyed it. I know my book club will like this one!

I received the book from netgalley. Absolutely adored it and finished it in one day. I was completely gripped throughout and had no idea how it would end! Highly recommend it

"Warn them." These were the last words spoken by Claire as she lay dying in a ditch at the side of the road. Elizabeth O'Loughlin, the poor old woman who sat beside her holding her hand. But who was Elizabeth supposed to warn and who had inflicted the horrifying injuries to Claire's body.

This is the beginning of the latest crime novel from Northern Ireland author, Claire Allan, and oh my god, what a story it is.

The writing is flawless, the characters are so real, and I was hooked from the first page. The story is told in dual point of view so we have Elizabeth and Rachel (one of Claire's best friends). Elizabeth has her own story and is out walking her dog when she comes across Claire. Elizabeth is struggling to come to terms with her own daughter's death two years previous and coming across the murder has a deep impact on her.

Rachel is struggling with her own grief too - her mother passed away from cancer - so Claire's death hits her hard. She's also struggling with her marriage.

The story unfolds with some fantastic character building and I really felt like I knew these people personally. I tried guessing who the murderer was but I had to keep reading and boy did I get a shock when all was revealed. I wasn't expecting the twists. I wasn't expecting the darkness or the cruelty of the murderer or his tormenting behaviour.

I have to say, I devoured this book. In fact, I ended up staying in the bath for well over an hour just to finish it because I had to know how it ended. Shrivelled and cold, I closed my kindle and thought, wow, that was bloody brilliant. I've loved all of Claire Allan's book so far, but I think this one has just pipped the post and become my favourite. I'm sure this will be another bestseller for the author and make it on to numerous best of 2019 book lists. I can't wait to see what she brings out next.

First book that I have written by Claire, and I'm glad I was successful in having a chance to review. Brilliant read, a real page turner...a must read!

Thank you so much to Claire Allan and Avon Books for this ARC in return for an honest review.

Elizabeth O’Loughlin lives alone in her farm house with her dog. One early morning when out on a walk, she unfortunately finds Clare, fighting for her life following a brutal attack. Clare doesn’t hold on for long, but manages to whisper her frightening last words to Elizabeth before she slips away. Elizabeth is burdened with this message and knows that she must take action in order to stop anyone else being hurt or worse.

I have become ever so slightly obsessed with Claire Allan after reading Her Name was Rose and Apple of My Eye so I was so excited to get the opportunity to read her new work. I was not disappointed! This woman knows how to build some serious tension and to get you gripped on a story right from the beginning. I could have easily read this book in one sitting, if it wasn’t for life getting in the way. Instead i hurtled through it as fast as I could, absolutely dying to get to the end, gobbling every single word up.

There’s no beating about the bush with this book and the drama kicks off right from the prologue. The story is told from the perspectives of two of the characters and I really enjoyed that although there were plenty of other main characters, we got to hear the story from only two of them. Both different characters that wouldn’t have thought they would become linked, but end up living through the same nightmare.

I’d like to say that I was totally on the ball and saw the ending coming, but I would be lying. I had my suspicions about a possible ending, and there was a while where I was certain I’d nailed it. But that clever little twist came in and knocked me for six, making myself question how on earth I didn’t see it coming all along.

My only criticism for this book is that I want more. I want to know more about some of the characters aside from Rachel and Elizabeth, but I think that is me being the Claire Allan geek I seem to be turning into. I could easily see this story as a televised drama, I think it would translate really well.

Another awesome thriller from this author that has you hooked, emotional, on edge and absolutely addicted. I cannot wait for more.
