This book will not be for everyone, and has a lot of triggers that might upset readers. There is some parts of the book I had to skip over, but the rest was readable, and makes it a solid read. I will however in future make sure if I read the author, first check for the plot lines. Recommended.

Wow what an awesome bumpy ride of a read. The twists and turns were non stop. Told from main protagonists point of view. This book not for the faint of heart as it is dark and disturbing with trigger warnings of animal & sexual abuse. Great ending that I did not see coming.
My first read from this Author and won't be my last, already added her other books to my TBR.
Thank you to Netgalley, Burbank books and the Author for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so scary , but I couldnt stop reading it. Written from 3 perspectives, it kept me guessing right up until the last page. The characters were compelling and I was connected to them all.

Would you ever go on a holiday and be completely off the grid?

This one was quite a terrifying one cause it really can happen to anyone especially if you are someone who are constantly sharing your life on social media. Before you pick this up, please be aware this story comes with multiple trigger warnings - brutal animal abuse, graphic rape and deep humiliation involving children.

This story follows a lifestyle mommy influencer, Jennifer, who is recently divorced, has three kids and living with her boyfriend, Tyler. Tyler decided that it was a good idea for them to go on a weekend trip so he can bond with Jennifer and the kids. He picked a secluded holiday home in the woods with no phone service or internet. That’s where things start going horribly wrong. A stalker fan thought it would be a great idea to play out his deranged fantasies with Jennifer and hold them hostages. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into fear and survival. What lengths would Jennifer go in order to protect her kids?

If this taught me anything, it’s to be wary about information you share on social media. There is nothing wrong with being an influencer but you should also be able to protect yourself and your loved ones. Personally, I would never go on a holiday anywhere where I don’t have access to phone service because I would be too anxious and scared.

This is a really disturbing read for me. It really kept me on the edge and I was constantly hoping that Jennifer and the kids will be okay. Because of the actions of one sick person, it changed the lives of Jennifer and her family forever. Although this wasn’t Jennifer’s fault, she has to live with the guilt of what her kids went through.

Thank you Netgalley and Burbank Books for the arc.

First I need to say this book needs trigger warnings for graphic animal abuse, violence, and sexual abuse. I often avoid things with animal abuse, and would have liked to at least been warned before picking this up. I found some of the characters awkward which made getting into the story more difficult. I really hated Tyler which made the first half of the book hard to get into. The main character Jennifer is an influencer who is divorced and dating a new person,. Tyler, who suggested they take the kids and go to a yurt in Montana and be completely cut off from phones or technology (clearly nothing bad will happen with this idea). The alternating perspective took me a second to figure to out but was an interesting contrast. It’s a decently twisty story and it is definitely dark which I liked.

No One Can Hear You Scream is a dark thriller that was hard to read at times. It is very well written and fast paced. Thanks Netgalley for this arc.

This book has more twists and turns than any thriller I have read in a very long time! There is so much going on here! It is a great story with characters to love and hate. The suspense just builds and builds and then comes the unexpected ending. I highly recommend this extremely well written book to anyone who enjoys this genre.

WOW !! There are so many reasons why you should read this book. Suffice to say it’s what thrillers are supposed to be ! It’s darkly disturbing with non stop thrills from beginning to the climatic ending. One family vacation turns into a living hell with a madman at the helm.
They’re are triggers warning to be aware of, rape, kidnapping and animal abuse.
This is one hell of a ride !!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book !! The author is definitely on my radar.

OMG!!!! This book was way better than I expected!!! I remember ready A.B. Whelan books years ago and was so happy when a friend recommended this book to me.

It has everything from stalking, murder, rape, revenge, and a twist you will not see coming! Lots of action-packed page turning and that did not just happen moments.

If you haven't read any of A.B. Whelan's books I suggest you start with this one!

Trigger warnings for animal cruelty, kidnap/hostage and sexual assault.

It was a good thing I had seen the warning about animal abuse from another reviewer before I started No One Can Hear You Scream, it would have been nice to know it was going to hit you between the eyes in the opening pages!! I normally don’t have such a mental reaction but the event was so descriptive that it was like I was actually watching it rather than just reading words, so I was already struggling with those first pages and actually considering to DNF, when I saw happen to see an explanation from the author on what – inspired – her to write that. So yh, figured I had invested enough to read on and find out if justice is ever given to the abuser, so I put on my big girl panties, got myself an extra strong coffee and a couple of Lindt truffles and took an afternoon to power through.

The segment depicting the animal cruelty aside, the story still takes a while to get going as there are two plotlines being weaved. The first, is told primarily by Jennifer - a popular vlogger who is persuaded by her boyfriend Tyler to escape for a couple days on a secluded mountain camping trip. There’s no modern comforts - no electricity, no cell signal, no indoor plumbing - not the getaway anyone would expect for either Jen or Tyler to do and definitely not her three kids! and all this is made worse when a *stan* of Jennifer turns up and takes over their vacation.
The second plotline is from the viewpoint of “Alex”, basically a Truman Capote type character interviewing a convicted murderer with the intention of showing his human side in a book.

The two plots weave together towards the end of the book, and as they do the reader can kind of predict/guess certain things, but there was also a couple things that were added as a twist in the closing chapters that gave a satisfactory full stop to the story and made me glad that I did not DNF.

Totally recommended to readers who like physiological thrillers that have opposing mental twists as well as the expected plot twists.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the arc of No One Can Hear You Scream in return for an honest review.
