Oh how I enjoyed this book. I don't want to give away the ending but throughout the book I seriously wondered if that was what happened- ah! I have always been interested in the bond between twins and this book dug a little into that for me. I also loved the fun aspect of the podcast, something I have gotten into the past year so it was fun to see how one may work and get an idea for. Great read!

Innocent or guilty by am Taylor. Unfortunately I did not connect with this book, I liked the idea of it but was not fond of the writing style

Had it not been for the last chapter I would have given this book a solid 5 stars. There was plenty of intrigue and tension and I loved the way the chapters alternated between then and now. As Olivia began to realise that maybe not everyone at high school saw her the way she saw herself I even found myself thinking about my own high school days and wondering if my memories were accurate. Then came the ending and I have to say I was so disappointed, I actually felt cheated. Sorry.

Ethan has been jailed for the murder of his school peer but did he do it? A decade on his twin Olivia is doing her best to get him freed. Signing up for a podcast series to uncover the truth, the story is set both in the present and a decade ago as the truth is uncovered. In a town where everyone has secrets where does the truth lie? A twist at the end that I saw coming but I didn't see the path that the author would take to get us there. A good solid read. Recommended.

I just could not get into this book and had to give up about a quarter of the way through. Good premise, but not what I was interested in reading.

In present day she enlists the help of popular podcast Shadow Of A Doubt to dig deep into Ethan Hall’s case and soon realizes not everything is as it seems...
This book kept me on my toes and wanting to know what was coming next! It has great twists and turns and the chapters alternate between “Then” and “Now” which I love because it keeps my interested and intrigued! I would definitely recommend this book!
Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins for the e-ARC of this book!

Liv has always believed in her twins innocence, Ethan has been convicted of murder, she becomes a lawyer to overturn the conviction.

Kat and Ray, true crime reporters, run a padcast, interviews from those who knew the victims, takes you back to murder.

This book was a fantastic read. It took a few chapters to get into, but definitely worth the wait!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I also need a sequel.

Thank you to Harper Impulse and Killer Reads for a free digital copy of this book via NetGalley. The galley was called "Innocent or Guilty?"

The Killer You Know by A.M. Taylor, now called Innocent or Guilty, did not dissappoint. The writing style was fluid in a now and then plot. The storyline sucked me right in and I demolished this thriller in no time. The characters were very realistic and well thought our. With a bomb shell ending that had my mouth gaping open, I really didn't see that coming. This is one you should add to your list if you are looking for a fast paced thriller.

Olivia Hall, Ethans twin sister has always believed Ethan was innocent for the murder of friend Tyler. Tyler was found dead in the woods after a final summer party that would be the last before everyone went off to college. Now nearly 10 years later Olivia brings a teue crime podcast to town to cover the murder of Tyler. Olivia wants to try and bring the truth to light and get to the bottom of what really happened to Tyler. New information keeps coming to light, deceit and lies from the police department, hidden key evidence. Will Olivia regret putting the v town bank through all the turmoil and memories of the murder? Will they find the killer? Will Ethan finally be exonerated? Remember things aren't always as they seem.




I would like to thank Harper Impulse and Killer reads, One more Chapter and netgally for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I lost interest a few times throughout this, but I think part of that was me not being in the right headspace rather than the book being bad. The ending was odd though, and while I did want to find out what happened enough to finish it, I felt it dragged a bit. Not the worst I've read, but not the best.

This book was excellent! Totally kept my attention and I wanted to find out what would become of the main characters. Highly reccomended.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. I felt emotionally drained by the time I had finished it. Innocent or Guilty takes you on a rollercoaster ride as you try to work out what happened and "who's guilty". There are a fair few twists and turns, so strap yourself in, and prepare for an immersive ride! I was taken right back to my own teenage days and found myself feeling uncomfortable at times, as I heard what this bunch of kids were getting up to. This book is definitely one I will recommend.

Compulsive reading, this is an addictive suspenseful psychological thriller like no other.

The plot is unpredictable with lots of twists and turns along with solid engaging characters.
There is also a sense of dread as the story deals with the deep and dark corners of the human psych.

I very much enjoyed this and would recommend it to anyone!

I loved this book! It was so addictive and so easy to read that I raced through it! I loved the idea of the storyline and the characters, especially Ethan and Kat were brilliant. I loved the drama....the build up....the twists....and the end! I had been wondering all the way through whether I would be right at the end, and I was but the book leads you everywhere but there! It took no enjoyment out of the book for me, it was still brilliant and I would recommend to all crime and thriller fans. Will be reading more by this author :)

This book has come just at the right time as more and more people are enjoying true crime podcasts. There is a definite feel that the author themselves have listened to and become well acquainted with podcasts such as Serial, Criminal, My Favorite Murder, etc. Interesting concept, less interesting plot. All in all, pretty enjoyable.

Liv Hall was your typical popular cheerleader type girl growing up in Twin Rivers. She had it all. She had a great boyfriend, a wonderful family, all the friends you could ask for or did she? What lies under the surface?

We have a novel that starts out in the present when Liv is all grown up and has become a lawyer. She is working on a case that hits too close to home. As she tries to move forward, Kat and Ray, true crime podcasters, approach Liv because they want to feature the murder of teenager Tyler Washington on their show. A crime that took place in Twin Rivers just after Liv’s high school graduation. The convicted murderer is her twin brother, Ethan, who is sitting in prison for the crime. But is he guilty?

I enjoyed Innocent or Guilty. The murder, the mystery, and the podcast dimension were all well-done.

I admire this author for going in that direction. Jumping back and forth from present-day to ten years ago in the narrative was a wonderful touch. Taylor’s characters have wonderful personalities, the good and the evil alike. There are some characters that I hated, but this is a powerful emotion to elicit from a reader. Great love, and/or exceptional hate are marks of great characters written by a powerful author.

Unfortunately, I must say that the story did drag in some parts. There is only so much we need to know about a few aspects of the book. The whole mystery was somewhat lackluster until the very end when there was some real excitement, and let me tell you, there was some real excitement! My pulse was racing and I was sweating profusely during the last several chapters of the novel!

Consequently, even though the book did move a bit slow, I still urge you to read it. Anyone who loves a good murder mystery/thriller should give this book a try. I award Innocent or Guilty 4 stars out of 5, mostly due to the dragging and the overlap of some points. Otherwise, great book and a fascinating way to spend a weekend.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The murderer might be closer than you think…


One morning ten years ago, the town of Twin Rivers changed forever when the body of Tyler Washington was found in the woods. Son of the mayor, star of the high school basketball team – his death struck right at the heart of this tight-knit community.


For Olivia Hall, Tyler’s death heralded the start of her own personal nightmare – her twin brother, Ethan, was arrested for Tyler’s murder. Ten years later, Ethan is still in jail. Olivia is convinced he is innocent, and now, a true crime podcast has taken up his case.


As the podcast digs deeper, secrets, lies and shocking revelations are all uncovered. For the first time, Olivia dares to hope that Ethan may be set free. But if he didn’t kill Tyler, who did? And how far will they go to keep their secrets safe?


My thoughts:

Rating :5

Would I recommend it?Yes

Would I read anything else by this author?Yes

This is the second book of her's that I've read and loved , and this one I liked a lot more then Don't Forget me.I liked how it was told in the past and the present, as well as how the author used the podcast as part of the story , loved how the more people wanting the truth to stay hidden , it came out anyway, this is one of those that once you start to read you can't stop you have to read it to the last page and see if Ethan is Innocent or guilty . It also makes you wounded yours telling the truth and who's not. With that said I want to say thanks to Netgalley for letting me read and review it exchange for my honest opinion and I can't wait to read more of her stuff.

Wow a definite page turner. I couldn’t put this down twice I thought I had guessed but then the end was a real shocker. Well wrote and love the characters especially Olivia

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review.
This story is told from two different timelines that converge at the end. The story is told from the main character Olivia Hall's perspective from the night Tyler Washington is found dead to the current day. Overall I found this book to be a good, quick read. The characters were well developed and you get to "know" them throughout the story. I enjoyed the then and now perspectives and I was not expecting the ending. If you enjoy a little mystery in your stories then this is a good choice.

When I originally requested this book, it was under the title The Killer You Know, and was set to be released on July 12, 2019. But at time of this posting, it appears the publishing company has not only changed the name to Innocent or Guilty, but the publication date has also been pushed back to September.

Hopefully, the pushed back publication date means that this book is in the process of getting an overhaul. This book was almost painfully predictable with characters that seemed one dimensional, and a plot that was frankly, full of holes. Honestly, I am all for a well written novel with believable police cover-ups, but this contained none of that.

Witnesses withholding important information, evidence that was hearsay and circumstantial at best, entire chunks of pertinent information withheld - and it took someone a decade to realize it? I just wasn't buying this. Nor did I care for the sudden way that the book ended. There was no closure, and as a reader I was left with more questions than answers.

DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This has not affected my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.
