I really enjoyed this one. The cover did draw me to the book along with the blurb however I was unsure to begin with as I’ve not read anything by this author before. On the whole it was a great read. Thrilling and full of suspense. I didn’t love the ending but all in all it was a decent read and I would recommend it.

A less darker one of S E Lynes novels but gripping and hard to put down! Well written characters and twists and turns. An enjoyable read thank you

This book caught my interest from the first chapter and it never wavered. Samantha and Peter have a relationship that unfortunately does happen, and I was interested in reading this version.

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I knew it was going to be good but not how good! Literature pure storytelling I loved every moment hated to finish.

Incredibly well written thriller with great characters that kept me turning the pages! Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an advanced reading copy.

This is a story of relationships, friendships, secrets and manipulation. A book that will have you hooked from the start and one that you will be unable to put down. An excellent read.

Great book, loved the storyline and the journey the main character takes. Would definitely recommend

Nailbiter!! Brilliant read. A must for all. Thank you netgalley. Booked from the beginning again. Made me think for sure.

This is the latest psychological thriller from Susie Lynes, a book of love, danger, deceit and revenge. I was hooked from the first page and could not put it down. The writing is fast paced, never predictable, taking you from joy to terror and much in between. I loved it from start to finish.
Samantha Frayn is a student at UCL reading English and one evening she meets the handsome History of Art Lecturer Peter Bridges. Overnight Samantha's life completely changes as she moves into Peter's home and becomes his partner. In a whirlwind romance this charming, debonair, sophisticated older man sweeps Samantha off her feet and she falls totally in love. But is Peter Bridges all that he seems? Is he really so caring and attentive or is he narcissistic and controlling? Only time and his jilted ex-lovers will tell.

A fabulous read from this great writer.

What appeared to be a little light reading turned into a psychological turn twister. Following the story of a young, impressionable girl lured into the web of a serial womaniser. A well spun tale that started off with a flash forward, which left me wondering where it had begun. You will soon find out.
I am a fan of this author and this book didn’t disappoint. Look forward to reading more.

I had heard so much about this book and I can completely understand why. It was a wonderfully gripping read that I found difficult to out down but also a read that stayed with me long after

This book was gripping from the start. There are so many twists and turns that I had no idea how it could possibly end. I loved it. Highly recommended

This had me hooked from the beginning.

Thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller, complete with plenty of twists to keep the reader guessing.

Looking forward to the next book by SE Lynes.

I liked how the book began. It really grabbed you from the beginning and sometimes that's the worst part to get through. This was definitely a great thriller that was easy to read and had you wondering what was going to happen when you were forced to put it down to go to work. I must say this is absolutely in my top 5 for this yea. Also, love the cover work on this. Beautiful, delicate flower against a dark background, very fore-brooding. Genius.
Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for allowing me to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.

What a great psychological thriller. The characters were believable, the storyline was compelling. You will be asking yourself a lot of questions. The characters are very realistic . This is a book full of lies , revenge, secrets your essential thriller requirements. A little bit of manipulation thrown in too!!

Superb!!! Dark, creepy and uncomfortable... with thrills and spills and reveals along the way. I worked out most of it but absolutely loved the atmospheric writing. Another fine specimen from this talented author!!! #fivestarread

This is a brilliantly tense, slow-burn of a psychological thriller.
With the opening showing us a future moment, we then go back to the start and follow Sam and Peter from the beginning of their relationship to find out how they got to that point. From the moment young, naive Sam meets charasmatic, older man Peter, she is swept off her feet into what she thinks is a whirlwind romance. But she slowly realises that the relationship is not as it seems and Peter is certainly not the person she believed he was.
As well as being a very good read, The Women is also a worryingly believable insight into how sometimes what you are led to believe, is nowhere near the truth.

Another Susie Lynes book which I could NOT put down. Exciting, scary, moments of unease and “Can’t you see what he’d doing to you?” A thoroughly recommended read.

Ok, second book by this author and a good ride...

Samantha, the narrator, is so young and naive. At times it was a bit frustrating and painful to read. Peter, her partner, what a character!

This book keeps you on edge, it’s prickly. There is a decent suspect pool. I thought one thing and I was wrong (and somewhat right?!?).

The writing is very good. The characters are well plotted and decently layered. This makes you want to grab your daughters and talk to them...

I liked this story. It did take a while to get going but it was worth the wait. The conclusion - perfect. I will look forward to the next by this author.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and Bookouture for a copy in exchange for a review.

I have to say – I was stunned by the opening – a real cracker and a ‘killer’ opening. I supposed - not guessed as the author didn’t give it away - that something fishy was going on and all was not as innocent as it seemed. This unnerving feeling just made the opening prologue all the better – How was the author going to make this all make sense? Reading on, I loved the writing and the style, it really is excellent and the author has true talent.
