A great thriller - I would recommend it!

An addictive read that was suspenseful, creepy, dark and amazing!! I loved the authors writing style and found myself devouring one more chapter at times throughout the day when I really shouldn't have been reading. Loved it!

A chilling read that was fast paced with a creepy and claustrophobic atmosphere. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through

This book held my interest. I love being gripped from the first page and this certainly did. So many gasp moments.

Well...I'm not sure what to say. I was confused through a lot of this book. In the end, it explained most of what I was confused about. It too me a lot longer to read this book than most. I couldn't give up though, and I was pleasantly surprised at the ending. That's my advice, if you are having a tough time with this book, keep going.
Thanks to netgalley, the publisher and author for the chance to read this advanced copy.

This story was a twisty psychological thriller that I really enjoyed! I've read a few books by this author & have enjoyed them all!!!

Very fast paced exciting book to get your teeth into. I was hooked from the beginning. I do enjoy a psychological thriller. Loved the authors writing style

What a twisty, deranged read! Beverley Digby is a diabolical woman with a disturbing past. She has a tendency to stalk which goes into overdrive when her boyfriend Scott dumps her for Danielle, and then she learns Danielle is pregnant, even though Scott talked Beverley into getting an abortion. Danielle falls down the stairs and loses the baby and Scott blames Beverley, who was nearby. She receives compulsory counseling and seems to have her therapist wrapped around her finger. She is also dating a new man Trevor and the fact that he is married doesn't stop her from planning their future together. Then Beverley herself acquires a stalker. Looney tunes! This thriller had so much going on and I constantly felt flat-footed trying to figure out what was going on. Loved it!

Sipping thoughts: Wooh! Can you say crazy? Deranged? That is the tone of this book and the characters within. This is the first Diana Wilkinson book and won’t be my last. I enjoyed following this story of the stalkers and the reason for wanting revenge. The story pulled me in right until the very last chapter.

Wow wow oh my heart. Fast pace and hooked in the beginning and haven’t left my seat. Some triggers. Definitely would recommend this.

First, thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Beverley is ordered into therapy for stalking her ex-boyfriend, Scott. She feels Scott needs to pay for what he's done. She then meets Travis. You would think that she would be done with Scott, but of course that doesn't happen.
Beverley then realizes that she now has a stalker. What ensues is a crafty game of cat and mouse; the hunter becomes the hunted. Beverley is one cunning individual; I will tell you that. I found this book interesting; it held my curiosity of how events in the past (an individual who murdered a pedophile 25 years earlier) tied to the present. However, this book didn't grab me to where I couldn't put it down. I didn't mind reading it however, and I liked the stalking aspect. One thing I did notice was the word "aplomb" was used several times, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but how about using "confidence", "poise", "surety", or "coolness"? Overall, this is a pretty good book; but I probably won't need read again, at least for a long while.

Another gripping thriller from Diana Wilkinson!

Beverley Digby is a stalker - so the law says. She, however, is not so sure. However, she now has to complete a series of visits to a therapist who will need to sign her off before she can get her life back. So who to believe? Beverley, or the ex who has made claims against her?

This is a stunning read. I see-sawed between liking Beverley and loathing her due to the very clever writing. I was never really quite sure but, boy, did this one keep me reading! I'm not going to give away anything but, trust me, this is as full of twists and turns as it gets! I've read this author's work for quite some time now, and she never fails to produce something that little bit different to keep her readers guessing. Highly recommended and so easily meriting all five glowing stars!

My thanks to the publisher for my copy via NetGalley; this is - as always - my honest, original and unbiased review.

There is nothing like being in the mind of a psychopath/sociopath/whatever kinda path you want to call it! And I love me some good stalking. I'm probably going to have to explore these things about myself in therapy, but first this review! I very much enjoyed this story. It had some good stalker-y moments, a character you're not supposed to love but kind of do, and a few twisted elements. Nothing earth shatteringly new to the genre, but good nonetheless. Now where is my therapists phone number?

**TRIGGER WARNING** This book is not for the faint hearted due to some disturbing content - stalking and child abuse.

I have no idea why he thinks I had anything to do with Danielle's accident. My only crime was being in the vicinity when she fell down the stairs. Being forced into therapy for stalking, though, is well over the top. But my therapist, Justine, is quite the character. I know what she wants to hear, and I'm also master at playing the system. When she twigs what's really on my mind, she might not be so cool.

what a dark and disturbing read. Based around child abuse and how events that happen in the past can affect people as they get older. Beverley is quite a character. She is attending therapy as she had been stalking her ex-boyfriend Scott and accused of pushing his girlfriend Danielle down the stairs. Justine is Beverley's therapist, and she knew all the answers Justine wanted to hear. But things take a different turn when someone starts stalking Beverley. Even though the pace is on the slow side, this thrilling read enters a whole new form of craziness. It can be quite difficult to read due to some of the contents. I was pulled in from the first page.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #BoldwoodBooks and the author ##DianaWiolkinson for my ARC of #RightBehindYou in exchange for an honest review.

Due to tragic circumstances in her childhood with her parents and uncle chuckles Beverly Digby isn’t working with full deck. When her ex boyfriend insist it’s her fault his girlfriend Danielle lost the baby Beverly is sentenced to counseling. It’s something she definitely believes she doesn’t need because it’s just a coincidence she happens to be everywhere Scott and his new girlfriend are. Things are looking up for Beverly however she starts dating married Trevor and quickly becomes just as obsessed so much so she renovates her home and makes rooms just for his children for when they all move in. Despite the fact he told her he wasn’t leaving his wife Queenie and their relationship was over. Beverly thinks it’s just a matter of time before they whined up together. She also befriend Scott’s new girlfriend who “coincidentally“ she goes to the same language school with. His girlfriend finds the stories Scott tells her hard to believe because she really likes Beverly and can’t imagine her being the crazy ex Scott makes her out to be. Things take a turn though because in the middle of Beverly stalking all her targets someone starts stocking her. We find out many sad things about poor Beverly‘s life and I really did feel bad for her despite the fact she’s a predator of sorts but can I just say this book is OMG good!!! Diana Wilkinson has a devious devious mind and she has treated us to such a crazy deep dive into madness that we can all sit and read from the comfort and safety of our home. What a thrilling ride it is. Every now and then you run across a book that grabs you in the beginning and doesn’t let go until the end and that is Right Behind You by Diana Wilkinson this is a book I definitely highly recommend if you love fun thrillers then read this awesome book! I received this book from NetGalley and BoldWoodBooks but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Right Behind You by Diana Wilkinson is dark, chilling and sinister. It is not for the fainthearted as it has multiple trigger warnings of stalking, miscarriage and child abuse. Diana Wilkinson has done an excellent job of delivering a psychological thriller with effective and well-placed twists and turns. Beverly Digby's stance of taking matters into her own hands has a tragic and painful beginning. However, she doesn't understand why she needs to attend mandated therapy for one event when she happens to be in the same area as her ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend. And his girlfriend happens to lose their unborn baby. Things take on a downward spiral when Beverly is, in turn, stalked. Beverly is a queen of deception who is highly skilled at covering her tracks and stringing the right words together. There were certain sections of the book where I felt deep sorrow for her. The parallels between the past and present, Beverly's relationship with her therapist, Queenie and the supporting characters are well fleshed out. The only minor flag for me was that the last few chapters appeared slightly drawn out. Diana Wilkinson is a talented and skilful writer, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Thank you NetGally & Boldwook Books, for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.

This was weird AF. We have a woman who enjoys some light stalking as a hobby, some childhood abuse amongst a few people, and a few men who enjoy cheating.
It is messy as it could ever possibly be.
I read it all the way through. That's a good sign.

I like mess.

Well this is certainly dark! It has a few topics that may trigger some and it wasn't always a pleasant experience to read about but I also don't think it was used for shock value or exploited and it is a fact that these things can and do happen sadly enough. It's intense and suspense filled. The characters are deep and complex. I found it a bit slow in places and it's very character based but it's certainly a very original storyline which was great! It did keep me hooked throughout but as I said, just be warned its pretty dark at times so might get you out the vibe if your looking for something to read by the pool lol

Crazily dark thriller here!

The main character Beverly has a dark character, not only character, even her past was too dark to unravel. She was regularly attending the therapy due to stalking her ex-boyfriend. Beverly was accused of her ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend Danielle fell down the stairs.

Beverly’s therapist Justine thought herself was doing a great job in helping and saving Bev.

However, Beverly was too good in playing this game. She knew exactly what answer you wanted to hear.

Until Beverly was stalked…

This contents included stalking, child abuse and honestly it’s quite dark for some people. What Beverly has experienced in her childhood shaped her current behavior. It’s not easy to complete the whole story, but still this slow-burnt thriller had few unexpected plots.

A dark, sinister and strangely comic psychological thriller about a woman in therapy for stalking her ex-boyfriend. Beverley, the stalker, remains obsessed with her ex and seems hell-bent on scuppering his new relationships. The story explores her new relationship with a married man, her therapy and a terrible secret from her past. The author has successfully created a sympathetic monster in Beverley and the reader’s support shifts throughout the story depending on who the perceived victim is. A very clever and well-crafted storyline, with compelling characters.

Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an opportunity to read and review the novel in advance of publication.
