If Something Happens to Me is a great binge-worthy thriller. Multiple POVs keep it hopping, and in multiple locations, but the way it all comes together is beautiful.
Ryans gf was taken and presumed dead back in high school, and her car has just recently been found submerged in a nearby lake. The twist - it's not her in the car.

This book has mob-boss feels, detective thrills, and twists that will make you squeal!

Narration was FANTASTIC, as always.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this early release in return for my honest review.

This was a very well written story. The plot was tightly developed with no dragging throughout the story. Character development was well done. I enjoyed the story and have already ordered the print and audio versions for my library.

Many things happen in "If Something Happens to Me".

Yes, this fast-paced thriller is jam-packed with non-stop action.

A young couple is attacked on "Lover's Lane".

The female is abducted, never to be seen again.

Her car is also nowhere to be found.

What happened to this woman?

After being disappointed with Alex Finlay's recent releases, he has restored my faith with this newest release.

I listened to the full-cast audiobook read by Helen Laser, John Pirhalla, and Paul Dateh. All narrators did a superb job with the narration.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars from me! A quick, intriguing read (or listen, as I received an advanced listening copy of the audiobook)! Multiple POVs narrated by three different narrators, which I appreciated! The narrators felt a little stiff or distant to me at first, but they all grew on me quickly. The mystery and twists kept me hooked, though I can’t say I gasped out loud at any point. Overall, it was a fun read and easy to follow along while still being creative!

I D E V O U R E D this latest from Alex Finlay...like, drank it, ate it, bathed in it for the 2 days it took me to finish.

Cleverly crafted, Finlay takes us on a wickedly sinister dive into the mysterious night that ended with the disappearance of a teenage girl.
The intricacies woven throughout left me speechless, I had to rewind a couple of times to make sure I was following each detail to its core- WOWZA.

Excellent narration by Helen Laser, John Pirhalla & Paul Dateh that allowed me to gear up in my wetsuit, take that deep dive into the lake and retrieve the missing car to start the ball rolling...

4 stars

Five years ago Ryan Richardson was hit on the head and his girlfriend was grabbed out of her car and never seen again. Ryan's life was turned upside down with the suspicion he was responsible. During a summer trip in Italy with his law school friends, he finds out Ali's car was found with two dead men inside.

Ryan and a local sheriff deputy work to unravel the mystery.

Enjoyable mystery with excellent narration by Helen Laser, John Pirhalla, and Paul Dateh.

Buckle your seatbelts because Alex Finlay is about to take you on a quite a wild ride. Told st breakneck speed and through three distinct points of view, If Something Happens to Me is an action packed. Suspense filled thriller. Finlay merges the three stories in dramatic fashion and I was so there for it.

This book has it all - murder, revenge, bullying, grief, romance, and a cast of characters whose actions will have you on the edge of your seat. The narration by Helen Laser, John Pirhalla, and Paul Dateh is phenomenal with each providing a distinct voice for their characters’ story lines. I binge listened and reset the auto timer nearly every time it expired; promising myself to listen to just one more chapter until one more chapter turned into the entire book.

This book will have your pulse racing until the final reveal. Alex Finlay delivers another knockout punch.

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the opportunity to listen to an advance copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

Yes! Alex Finlay is back at it and his new novel packs a punch!! I literally binged this whole audiobook in one evening because I just couldn't put it down! The narration is great, the story is easy to follow, and it's so captivating! While the twists weren't incredibly hard to figure out, it was so good!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this audiobook!

If Something Happens To Me is a fast paced, non stop action packed bingeable thriller. There are multiple storylines that truly don't quite connect together, until they all do and let me tell you it was explosive. It was such a fun ride, it kept me hooked, intrigued from start to finish.

I thought the storyline was super interesting. It truly keeps the reader interested. All the chapters were super short and snappy, that makes for a read that you can't put down and just keep flipping those pages until the end.

Was it the WOW thriller factor I was expecting.. no.. that first twist truly got me, I wasn't expecting it so when the ending just neatly wrapped up in a bow, I just wanted a final blow. Nonetheless, it's a super fun thriller that is definitely worth the hype and the read.

🎧 The narration by Helen Laser, John Pirhalla & Paul Dateh was really good. I loved the multiple voices for each POV, I loved how unique each of them were. I really felt like I was watching a movie without the visuals. I highly recommend the audio performance.

✨️ Thank you to @netgalley, @macmillanaudio & @alexfinlay for my gifted ALC in exchange for an honest review.
