This was so good, I couldn’t put it down! I Know You by Annabel Kantaria kept me glued to the pages and I honestly didn’t figure it out until the author revealed the secrets.

Here’s the premise:

A recent transplant from sunny California, life in the London suburbs is not what Taylor Watson expected. Far from the West End shops and city lights she imagined, she finds herself pregnant and lonely, with a husband frequently away on business and only social media to keep her company. It’s only after Taylor joins a book club and a walking group, that she finally starts to make some real-life friends.

Before long, Taylor’s hanging out with Anna, Sarah, Simon, and Caroline but, as her pregnancy progresses and her friendships blossom, a sense of unease develops. Nothing’s ever quite as it seems on the surface, and it soon becomes clear that Taylor’s new friends have secrets. One appears to be after Taylor’s husband, another’s always putting her down, and then there’s the question of Simon. Could he have feelings for Taylor?

But far more worryingly, one of the group’s not being too careful what they post on social media—and another is watching all too closely. Who’s stalking who . . . and why?

I loved the idea that the person watching Taylor could be one of several shady characters. The writing was tense, you really are on the edge of your seat as the book progresses. Not out until June, I will be reminding you when it is published!

UNPUTDOWNABLE. ADDICTIVE. TWISTY. FULL OF WTF MOMENTS!
All the Stars!

Fast moving story with characters we really got to know. There was nothing in this book that wasn't needed or didnt lend itself to the plot. Everything and everyone were somewhere intertwined.
I absolutely loved every minute of this book. The big twist was an added bonus to an already addicting story!!
I recommend this book with 10 stars!

Thank you #NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my ARC copy in exchange for my honest review! I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to read this book which comes out in June. Will also post to goodreads.

Taylor is new to the UK, having recently moved from America with her husband. Struggling to adjust in a friendless country, and out-of-work, since she is pregnant, she decides to explore and make some friends. Her husband is also away for work most of the times. She joins a local walking group and simultaneously is invited by her neighbor, Sarah, to be part of her book club. This is where she meets Anna, Simon, and Caroline. Has she finally found the friends she craves for or are they not exactly what they seem?

The narrative is mainly from Taylor’s perspective, interspersed with thoughts of another character. You know that Taylor is getting stalked, but you are not able to tell who it is. The author does a good job in keeping the suspense around these main characters, anyone of whom could be the stalker. So who is it? One of her newly-found friends at the walking group or one of the women at her book club? And what do they really want?

Taylor remains completely unaware till her worst nightmare hits her and hits her hard.
This story is born from loneliness. Unless you’ve experienced it, you’ve no idea where it can lead you.
When you crave the human touch, you resort to social media. This book will leave you thinking twice about prolific social media usage – and gives you an inkling to privacy settings, which is so important in today’s day and era; because you can trust no one. Please be careful of what you post online – you don’t know who is using what against you.

I read it in less than a day, I HAD to know what happened, to who and when!!... Superb, one of those books that just grabs your attention and doesn't let go!

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC of #IknowYou
Pub Date: 11 Jun 2019

I couldn’t put the book down! I read the I Know You in a day and a half and loved the fact that it kept me guessing. A very pregnant Taylor moves to England for a fresh start with her husband and uses social media to keep her friends and family in California up to date on her life overseas. While making new friends to keep from being lonely while her husband is gone on business she finds out social media may not be as innocent as she thought it was. While trying to keep her husbands infidelity in the past she finds her new friends Anna, Caroline, Sarah, and Simon all have their own secrets they are struggling with.

The only problem I had with the story told from Taylor's perspective was she is supposed to have to just moved from California but her slang and descriptions even her habit of making tea when something upsetting happened are very British. I loved the fact in addition to Taylor’s point of view there were letters from the stalker throughout the book and the letters left me guessing not only who they were from but who they were written to as well. The ending seemed kind of rushed and left me a little disappointed but that didn’t take away from the page-turning quality of the book.

Overall, I Know You was a great read and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in a psychological thriller with a social media focus. I would also like to thank Crooked Lane Books, NetGalley, and Annabel Kantaria for the opportunity to read a copy of the book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Wow! What a thrilling, absolutely shocking book! It was so taught and thrilling, I found myself ignoring many of the things I should have been doing in order to find out what was going to happen, but most importantly who it was going to be doing all the nasty stuff! I thought I had it figured out, until a chilling turn left me breathless and shocked! Amazing!
Will be highly recommending to the members of Chapter Chatter Pub, as well as using in a challenge!

This book really made me think about how much information we put out on the internet all the time. Social media has become the only way that you keep up with friends and family but you really never know what people can see about you out there.
Also it shows how much someone wants to be liked. Taylor moved to another country with her husband and has no friends there so she is more eager than ever to let people in.
This suspense thriller keeps you guessing about all of the different characters. I think you would enjoy it so give it a try!

I read this in one sitting, and it kept me guessing till the very end. The plot twist does require some willful suspension of disbelief, but it’s a fun, quick read nonetheless.

Thank you to net galley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book it was a great experience I finished it in one day.

Finished this book in one day because I was on the edge of my seat. The author includes, between chapters, letters written by a stalker but does not tell you who is being stalked or doing the stalking. The author leaves it up to the reader to figure out the mystery which was great. The story brought a new meaning to social media. It details how someone is able to stalk you based on all that you share on social media. We often do not realize how much we post about our lives on social media. So much so it may make it easy for someone to figure out all our family members, favorite spots to dine, where we work and who we communicate with. This book made me want to re-evaluate how much I share on social media. This book was different from any that I have read recently because rather than it being set in history it is set in the present social media world.

Thank you to #partner Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Taylor has recently moved to the UK with her husband. He’s gone for work a lot and pregnant Taylor is lonely. She overshares on social media and is constantly finding herself in awkward situations with the new “friends” she is making. Who is monitoring the social media status of these people? And who is actually in danger?
•
What I Loved: The premise of the book. People share a lot on social media (🙋🏻‍♀️ guilty at times) and I like how some of the newer thrillers are using the current technology in their books. I even liked the ending. It was a good twist and it was well played.
•
What I did not love: The plot moved a bit slow. I almost gave up at 30% because I was beginning to wonder if anything was going to happen. But once it moved, it went by faster. Also, the amount of characters was unnecessary. There were two characters— Sarah and Caroline— who both had a little usefulness but it was the same usefulness to the plot. So honestly, only one of them was necessary.
•
Overall, this was more of a slow burn thriller/suspense. Would recommend for those who appreciate the slow 🔥!

The modern world shows how easy it is to find people and monitor their every move, A brilliant story making you want to read to the very end as quick as possible, a brilliant plot and storylines,

Taylor and her husband, Jake, just moved from the USA to the UK for a fresh start. Jake’s busy with work, while Taylor stays at home, nearly 7-months pregnant. She spends her days online, interacting with other soon-to-be moms on Twitter and posting random selfies on Instagram. Jake recommends Taylor make some real friends so she joins a walking group at the local park.

That’s where Taylor meets Anna. She’s convinced Anna and her could be the best of friends. Not only is Anna also a former flight attendant, but she’s also pregnant, like Taylor. Taylor finally feels like she’s found a friend beyond the internet. And better yet, her new neighbor, Sarah, invites Taylor to join her book club. Taylor’s lonely life looks like it’s turning around. Maybe this fresh start will turn out to be a good thing after all.

But there’s someone watching their every moves online. Stalking them, figuring out where they live, who they interact with, their personal details. People like Taylor and Anna share everything online without thinking about the consequences. About who might be looking at their pages. And what they share online might be what puts them in danger.

The story alternates between the perspectives of lonely housewife, Taylor, and our sinister, unknown stalker. We know this story cannot end well, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But we don’t know who to trust. Taylor is clearly desperate for friendship, but are the people she surrounds herself with more harmful than she could’ve ever imagined? Were these people actually her friends or just strangers she made the mistake of trusting?

I Know You by Annabel Kantaria is a paranoia-filled psychological suspense, with a cast of highly flawed, unlikable characters. I kept teetering back and forth about whether or not Taylor is the antagonist, or if she’s innocent after all. This story left me questioning every character and their actions. I love an unreliable narrator and Taylor for the bill to a tee. I think the creepiest aspect of this book is the role of social media. How private are our lives truly when we are posting our personal lives online for everyone to see? Not a fast-paced thriller by any means, but an enjoyable psychological suspense nonetheless—4/5 stars.

Thank you to Net Galley, Crooked Lane Books and Annabel Kantaria for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Whilst this book was a little slow to start it certainly did not continue that way. I was gripped after the first couple of chapters and loved the twists. I really didn't see them coming which is brilliant as i would normally have guessed the twist. I would highly recommend this book and will be keeping an eye on this author.

Totally new fav author! Can’t get over how good it was!! Absolutely fans of B.A. Paris and Ruth Ware will love this!!

I Know You is the story of Taylor. She's a pregnant woman newly moved to England and lonely. She wants to make friends. This story is a lot about social media stalking. Someone could be stalking you right now. How would you know? It's scary how easy it is to learn everything about someone from social media. We get glimpses of the stalker,but most of the story is told by Taylor. It's a creepy thrilling story. It's got surprises in store. The characters are well developed and the story is engaging and well written. Let this story be a warning to be very mindful of what you post. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I Know You was such a great read! Two lonely pregnant women become fast friends, and with the help of social media, let the stalking begin! I really waffled between the characters believing each character in turn was the stalker., based on cleverly written chapters interspersed throughout that tell the story from the stalkers POV. I was seriously surprised at the twist towards the end. I would deduct only 1/2 star if that were allowed, but have to deduct 1 star because although the narrator is supposed to be American, having only recently moved to England with her British husband, all of the dialogue is told in British voice and mannerism. It made it hard to reconcile her talk of the States and her move and was very distracting. One question left unanswered: What ever happened to Simon?

A fast, very addicting read for me. The vivid characters and enticing storyline makes you want to finish this book in one sitting, AND reconsider your social media habits.

This was good! It's told from Taylor's point-of-view, but every now and then we'd get a glimpse into the mind of a stalker. They want to ruin someone's life and they're using this person's social media as a weapon. Who is this person?! The author would feed us a little morsel of information and it drove me crazy, I couldn't stand not knowing what was going on! But to be honest, I enjoyed the book better when I had that suspense. It just wasn't the same when I got to the big reveal. It was clever, but I liked it better when I didn't know. I loved the suspense. Great characters. Definitely a page-turner that will remind you of the dangers of what you post on social media.

The most irritating books are those that aren’t well researched and/or assume the reader is dense. While the story itself is marginally entertaining, I found too many faults to enjoy the little unexpected drama I did find. First off, it is terribly difficult to believe that the narrator is American, as all of her dialogue is rife with British slang, and any “American-ness” is dismally absent. This indicates to me that the writer wasn’t proficient in her structure and research. Secondly, the plot mostly flounders about, with stereotypes for characters. The ending - abrupt, unsatisfying, weak. I was disappointed by this read. I received this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
