This is the first novel by CL Taylor that I've ever read... it's so good!! I can't wait to read more from this author now!!!

I really enjoyed this book. The writing was tightly plotted, pacy and made for gripping reading. I always enjoy CL Taylor's books and this is one of the best I have read to date.

A cracking page turner of a book
From the prospect of the four main characters the story is full of twists as each of them try to come to terms with their own well being and that of the group.
But who is the puppet master pulling the strings. Are they all really the victim of stalkers or is one of them just ingratiating themselves into the group to get to one or all of the others.
Brilliantly written

I had a feeling when downloading this book that it might make for some uncomfortable ad creepy reading and I wasn't wrong!
I was definitely looking over my shoulder the whole walk home!
Told from multiple POV's (which is my favourite!), I continuously found myself changing my mind and second-guessing my assumptions.
It was such a gripping read and I found myself constantly retracing my steps to make sure I had all the facts.
It's full of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat throughout!

I absolutely love C.L Taylors books, so I was super excited to read this. It's based on four strangers who are being stalked, so they form a WhatsApp group to support each other.

I found this book to be quite slow to begin with the story switching between the victims. As the story progressed, I found myself completely invested and wanted to know who was after them all. I really thought I had it all figured out, but then I had a plot twist. This book is filled with twists and turns. Overall, I really loved this book. Yes, some parts were a bit slow, but then it kept me on edge, a solid four stars.

Wow…..I was a bit out of my comfort zone with this book as the idea of a stalker is so terrifying. So yes….it dint cure my fears. But it’s fine, it was such a good book and I was so engrossed, that I read it in 2 days.Fast paced, exciting and the story pulls you so much so, that you can’t stop.
I rather like the short chapters as it keeps the narrative moving quickly.
A great ending and highly recommended

Super intense and chilling!

Five people who are being stalked get together to support each other and try and get one over on their stalkers. When one of them is murdered, they receive a note telling them that another one will die in 10 days time!

Some of the plot was convoluted and some of the things that happened were a bit too convenient, but the red herrings and twists saved the day!

The character development was really well done and there were some entertaining parts to the story, despite the serious and chilling undertones.

4 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, C. L. Taylor and Avon for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Every Move You Make follows a group of stalking victims (River, Alex, Bridget and Lucy) who form a support group. After the death of one of their members and an anonymous threat directed at one of them, the remaining four decide to take matters into their own hands.

This book is a psychological thriller and really lives up to that promise. After reading so many thrillers they can become a bit samey but this one felt really different. The characters felt like believable flawed real people. Their emotional reactions to the circumstances they find themselves in feel realistic. There is a good build and release of tension in waves throughout the book keeping you reading and wanting more.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

I am a bit undecided on how I feel about this book.
It was different from other thrillers, so for that I’m appreciative. I always love a unique narrative.
This story follows a collection of people who have stalkers, and have formed a support group. When one of their own is murdered by her stalker, the group receives a wreath at the funeral with a warning. This book has some quick paced moments but also some lulls in the story. 3.5⭐️ for this one.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Alexandra, Lucy, Bridget, River, and Natalie. Five friends who wish they had never met. Because one thing they have in common is the worst thing in their lives: they are all being stalked. When one of the group is murdered, days after her stalker is released from prison, time stands still for them all. They know their lives could end just as brutally at any moment - all it takes is for the people they fear the most to catch up with them. When the group receives a threat that one of them will die in ten days time, the terror that stalks their daily lives becomes all-consuming. But they know they don't want to be victims anymore - it's time to turn the tables and finally get their revenge.

There are quite a few characters to keep track of. It's action-packed and filled with red herrings and twists. Five friends develop a unique WhatsApp support group for people who have been stalked. I was suspicious of everyone, even the group members. This story is so real for many people on many levels. The panic of the person being stalked was heightened. The characters are well portrayed. Ensure you read the author's note at the end of the book, and her personal experience with stalking.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #AvonBooksUK and the author #CLTaylor for my ARC of #EveryMoveYOuMake in exchange for an honest review.

Five very different people who are tormented by a stalker meet through a support group online. When one of them gets killed by their stalker things suddenly get intense. They get a thread that one of them gets killed in ten days. They decide to fight back. But that is easier said than done.

The story unfolds from the remaining five characters POV’s. There is a kind of countdown until the day someone is supposed to die. The story is intense and you can feel the dread of the characters being stalked, to always live in fear of your stalker being there watching you, interfere with your life. What an awful feeling. There are some twists and some action and yes, not everything sounds believable and some things are a bit over the top but I was fortunately never stalked so what do I know. The author explains in her acknowledgement that she has been a victim of a stalker herself so she knows what she is talking about.

The book held my interest and I was very invested in the story. This was my fifth book from this author and I had very different opinions about them. But I liked this one and I will surely look out for her next book.

I was excited to read this book, as I've read others by C.L. Taylor and really enjoyed them.

I think I was really ready for a good, twisty turn-y thriller, because I couldn't put this one down and read it very quickly. I was quickly caught up in the story, and all the different characters. Even though I didn't like all of them, and kept feeling suspicious of each one in turn, I was engrossed in their stories and so it became a real page-turner for me as I was increasingly baffled as to how things would play out.
I had maybe a couple of small 'what?' moments towards the end where things perhaps seemed a little too convenient or unbelievable, but still I raced to read it and just sort of let them pass me by because I just really wanted to know what would happen. The author note at the end is also definitely worth reading.

Imagine this, just for a minute…

You are in a whatsapp group. A one of a kind group… you don’t want to be in the position you are in to be in the group…. You speak regularly,. You all check in for safety then one evening one of the members stops replying…..

The group is for people who are being stalked… you find what’s happened to your friend the next day….. the group decide to take action.

This book was gripping. It had twists and turns all over. Well worth a read!

I was thrilled to receive C.L. Taylor’s new book Every Move You Make, an insight into how dangerous stalking is when victims are left to fend for themselves.

Set in four points of view, Lucy, River, Bridget and Alex are terrified when a mutual friend is killed by a stalker. Realising they too are at risk, each with their own stalkers, they decide to make a plan. With the use of a small group chat they have set up themselves, they are able to monitor each other frequently. With backstories and dangerous exes, this makes for a propulsive read, but also a triggering one. If you have suffered intense stalking, this might not be the book for you. But for me, it was a huge learning curve into the hows and whys of stalking, and the red flags to avoid in relationships, where obsessive, compulsive personalities may abound.

The plot is intricate and well thought out. With so many twists and turns, it was hard – at times – to keep up. The chapters headings: Four days until someone dies… made it a page-turner for me and the ending was one I had considered, but I enjoyed it all the same.

Thank you NetGalley, Avon Books UK and C.L. Taylor for the privilege of reading an advance copy of this book.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. This was a gripping, chilling, twisty read. The plot was realistic and well-written, and Taylor's author's note provided its own insight into the topic.

This is my top read of 2024! Five people being stalked have become a their own WhatsApp support group. Always in contact with each other, panic sets in when one member goes silent...

CL Taylor really is the master of the twist 5/5 stars

This was a fast read for me. I have read lots of books by this author so was very excited to start reading this.

The story is about five people, each person is being stalked by someone so they join a being stalked group and then the story begins. One of them is murdered and at her funeral they learn that another one will die very soon. They need to find a way to protect themselves.

We learn about each character and feel their fears when they are faced with their stalker. The story build and builds with each chapter, leaving me wanting to read a little more. I enjoyed the way it all came together at the end and found it to be a satisfying ending.

On reading the authors note I found that this was something the author had been through and that was why the book was written so well with so much detail in.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I have read a few books by this author and have found them all to be good books with interesting stories.

I found this one to be quite slow in places, however I was invested in the book and wanted to know the outcome. It was a good storyline and I didn't guess the ending which was an added bonus.

What an absolute page turner this was. I was reading at breakneck speed as I just had to find out what was happening.
River, Bridget, Alex, Lucy, and Natalie all have stalkers. They have formed a WhatsApp group to support each other. Nat doesn't reply to a message sent to make sure she got home safe.
After the funeral, River comes up with a plan to turn the tables on their stalkers.
For the most part, it's absolutely terrifying to think someone could be tracking your every move. I can't imagine how the victims deal with this.
I felt most for Lucy as her stalker, Marcus seemed totally obsessed, but I guess that's what they are like.
I did guess some of the outcome, but not the ending. It was very cleverly written.
There were some parts which I had to suspend disbelief but then you have to ramp up the tension to see the outcome.
Overall, I did enjoy it.
There is a note from the author at the rnd about her own experience. Terrifying.
Thanks to Netgalley and Avon Books for the ARC in return for an honest review.

An intense thriller made all the more chilling when you learn the author experienced stalking.
I like how the main characters came together through being stalked. It worked well that nothing was as it seemed. Everyone had an element of suspicion over them.
I kind of guessed the ending to a degree but it didn't detract from.the story.
