A group of five friends have one thing in common - they're all being stalked. When one member is murdered by her stalker, the group is thrown into further turmoil when a threat is made professing another will die in ten days time. Can the group stay vigilant and outsmart their stalkers?

Can I just say how scary it would be to have a stalker? This book gave me goosebumps in certain parts, picturing how the stalkers would prey on their obsession. Towards the start of the book, it was a bit difficult to keep track of all the names - people, their stalkers, their partners - however as the book flowed on, it started to make sense and my fingers began pointing to those that seemed suspicious. This book was fantastic. It was twisted, kept me fully entertained and so fast paced. Don't forget to read the author's note at the end too if you pick this one up!

This book had me HOOKED. I didn’t want to stop reading for a single minute. If you see a book by C.L. Taylor, grab it! Every Move You Make is her latest, and wow was it fantastic. I went into this one not knowing much, sometimes I just want to jump and be surprised with a book and yes, I was!

Synopsis:

The only way to stop a stalker is to become one yourself…

Alex, Lucy, River and Bridget.

Four people with one thing in common: they are all being stalked. Their lives are filled with daily terror. Always watching. Always waiting. And never knowing what – or who – is hiding in the shadows.

But this group of four used to be five, until the terrible day their friend Nat was followed home by her stalker…

Coming together for Nat’s funeral, they are handed a wreath saying RIP. However, this isn’t a wreath in memory of Nat – it’s for them, with a card dated in ten days’ time.

It’s a clear message: in ten days, one of them will die. And the only way to stop the killer is to get closer than they ever dared to their stalkers. The very people who want them dead…

This is out now!

Great book once I got into it, slow burner but it's worth it! I also loved the authors note at the end

I'm actually surprised I didn't finish this title. It all started fine, with a group of victims of stalking finding help and understanding with each other. They all have their reasons not to just rely on what the police can do so they come up with a plan - especially wThen one of the group gets actually murdered and there is a real threat hanging over the others.
What bothered me was mainly that after a while I was starting to lose the different stories. I had to keep going back to see who was who, who the stalker was and why. It all became very muddled for me so around the 50% mark so I skipped to the 80% mark to try and pick up the story. No such luck.
I also just couldn't understand why they al most all seem to have a lot of social media accounts, but they don't use them in the usual way - the accounts are in fake names or set to private. Well, in real life I personally don't see what someone makes to want to live their life on the internet instead of having a real life, with real friends so this added to my confusion.
The story is sort of a 'Strangers on a Train' but then with more people - which sadly for me it didn't make it more interesting.

Thanks to Avon Books and Netgalley for this review copy.

3.5 rounded down
Quick and easy read, hard to put down. Didn't figure things out, which is a plus, but some of thd story was just too much. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

What a page-turner! Yet another 5 star book by CL Taylor. "Every Move You Make" is jam-packed with thriller plot upon thriller plot. Not content with the storyline of one stalker/stalker victim, we have multiple ones here that overlap. I would have read it in one go but sadly I had to go to work. Highly recommend!

A tense and bumpy ride that had me on the edge of my seat. I had no idea at all which way this story would take me. The thought that someone watches your every move would fill you with dread but this is the scenario that faces Natalie, Lucy, Alex, Bridget and River. Each of them in a private whatsapp group only for victims of stalkers. Danger is maybe closer than they expect.
This is a fabulous read, very tense and suspenseful and there was very little to give clues as to who the perpetrators were

EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE

Thank You #NetGalley and #AvonBooksUK for my e-Arc copy of #EveryMoveYouMake in exchange for my honest review.

Another sensational book by C.L.Taylor.

You really need to read the authors notes at the end of this novel, to be able to fully appreciate and understand where the whole premise for this story came from.

Drawing in from her own experience of stalkingTaylor does a great job at creating high levels of tension within this book.

You’re pulled into this intense story from the start.

But unfortunately for me I found the vast amount of characters difficult to keep up with who was who.
I also found the idea of sticking trackers on suspected stalkers, as well as dangerous to be implausible.

Still I did enjoy this novel and think it’s brave of Taylor to write a book based upon her own stalking experience.

3.5 stars rounded up to four.

River, Bridget Alex and Lucy- which one of them will die in 10 days? This is a nicely twisty and complex page turner about four people who are in a race to identify the person who is stalking them and threatening their lives. No spoilers from me Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. It's a page turner!

This book was kind of slow during some parts but it was interesting and I definitely wanted to read the ending to see what was happening.

A brilliant read. Another thrilling story from C L Taylor they get better and better really enjoyed the four main characters in this novel as they set up a group to try and find their stalker's and the way it affects them all .Spine chilling with lots of twists that will have you hooked from the beginning but also knowing that this happens to lots of people in reality it highlights this important subject.

The beginning was promising, but I found I was bored very quickly. It was a struggle to finish the book. It seemed to be an important topic and the author was also a victim of stalking. However, this just didn't do it for me.

Clever, atmospheric and sharp, the only thing letting this down was the pace.

I’m sorry to say this just dragged a bit too much for me.

C L Taylor is truly at the top of her game. Each book, in my view, is different to and better than the last and this one covers totally new ground. A group of five have a stalker; one of them is murdered and at her funeral, there’s a chilling message to say there’s more to come. I’ve never experienced being stalked and the thought fills me with terror. Taylor manages to capture that sense of unease and mounting fear as the countdown to the next murder begins. The ordinary becomes extraordinary and everything is enhanced and magnified when filled with suspicion.

The plotting is carefully crafted with surprises and twists along the way and a blistering end. I think this is her best yet.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

➡️synopsis

This was a really interesting but also quite a disturbing and uncomfortable read. Just thinking about stalking gives me a serious case of heebie-jeebies.

As a fictional piece this is an excellent who done it mystery; mistrust is rife, characters a likeable enough for you to relate to themt but kept distant enough for the trust issues to fester.

I loved the multiple point of view narration and how the clues were given at just the right time to be effective. I was constantly changing my mind about who I thought was guilty.

There was a point where there were so many twists and turns that it became hard to keep focus on who and what and occasionally edged towards the unbelievable but mostly it was fast paced, suspenseful and an enjoyable read.

With thanks to author #cltaylor #avonbooks and @netgalley for allowing us to read this one early!

In this latest book Ms Taylor takes us into the world of stalkers, and what a journey!

A small group of Londoners, Lucy, River, Bridget and Alex find themselves at a mutual friend's funeral who was the victim pf a stalker. The book then gives an insight into this terrifying world as each of them has their own stalker. Intimate details, of how these awful stalking people control, intimidate and indeed terrorise their victims, are set out from each of the group's individual perspective..

Ms Taylor leaves no stone unturned in her views on stalkers and each story, for instance Lucy's, is brilliant and yet, sad.

Social media is, seemingly, one easy way to stalk people and I wonder how this can be controlled?

An exciting end to the book which I devoured in two days. I really enjoyed it and certainly learned a lot!

Thanks to Net Galley and Avon Books UK for the chance to read and review.

Hooked from the very start of this book.
Its about victims / survivors of stalking. The description of how they're made to feel made me feel nervous & on edge. It chilled me.
All of the way through I thought the author had done thorough research, I was shocked to see she had been a victim of stalking herself. The way she transferred some of the things that happened to her, to the characters was interesting.
I like it how the important subject of stalking wasn't lost in an unbelievable fictional story - well written, so it was believable and made me think of victims of stalking, and how horrendous it must be.
All in all, a good, chilling read.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy.

Another great read by this author
Five friends being stalked and one is murdered
One of them will die in the next 10 days
The book will have you hooked and turning the pages to get to the end to see what happens
Thanks NetGalley

I am a huge fan of CL Taylor, and was delighted to be approved for the ARC. Thank you Netgalley and the publishers.

Every Move You Make is everything you want in a novel. It has strong characters, stalkers, red herrings and a race to get to the end to find out who it was.

Four strangers come together on whatsapp to with one common theme. They all have a stalker. The plot weaves through how they all try to deal with their stalkers; but are they all who they say they are. As this is a CL Taylor novel you know that someone is not telling the truth and I played the guessing game all the way through. Did I get it right? On one of my guesses I did but I did go through all of them.

Parts of this novel are terrifying and difficult to read. Including the authors note at the end where she explains her own stalking experience. But its this feeling of unease that grabs you early, and you are constantly looking over their shoulder thinking: “he’s behind your”. When I got to the end I was just relieved that it was over and they characters could hopefully move on with their life.

I enjoyed this book on the whole but i think in parts the plot was a bit messy, clunky and i think too much was going on. There were so many characters introduced so early without really getting to know them so i found it hard to connect with them.
