A fast paced read from this wonderful author.
Creepy and unnerving with well written characters. I willed our main character to do certain things many times. Stockholm syndrome springs to mind?
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
A fabulous not to be missed read.

The Guilty Girl is a one sitting fast paced bingeable action packed psychological thriller. I read this one in an afternoon, it was the perfect escape. From the start I was engrossed in the story and refused to put the book down until the end.

Although some parts could be found to be a little repetitive, it was still an intensely enjoyable read. The premise was unsettling and creepy, wondering what truly is happened and is happening? Who did what? Why are they running? I loved how the secrets were all uncovered piece by piece until the final twist.

Harrow has some great storytelling skills, she was able to keep me hooked and engaged without ever having a dull moment. I was glued to my kindle. Highly entertaining read !

✨️ Thank you to @netgalley, @inkubatorbooks & @ruthharrow for my gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.

For the past 12 years, Chloe has believed her father has been keeping her safe. Everything he does is for her safety- even if it means keeping her locked in a cottage, with no friends, no internet, and no school. All Chloe knows is that house and her father, nothing more. It's not until Chloe meets her new neighbor that she starts questioning her father's real motive and reason for keeping her locked inside and isolated from the rest of the world. When Chloe does confront her father about it, he reveals a dark secret, leading her to believe she is the reason they're forced to live their lives that way. As time goes by, Chloe has more questions as things start seeming more and more suspicious. Her father appears to be hiding much more than he leads on. Chloe learn her father is not the caring, nurturing person she always thought him to be.
As a newcomer to Ruth Harrow books, I had no idea what to expect but I am truly blown away! She has an amazing and captivating style of writing, one that made me not want to put this book down! This psychological thriller is filled with twists and turns, and just when you think things can't get more shocking they do! I was completely immersed in this book from start to finish!

Thank you NetGalley, Inkubator Books, and Ruth Harrow for such an amazing ARC!

Occasionally, I crave a fast-paced read that I can devour in one sitting, and today I indulged in just that with this book.

While I found the beginning somewhat repetitive, and despite foreseeing every major plot twist, I still immensely enjoyed this book and couldn't tear myself away from it! Surprisingly, there were still moments that caught me off guard. The premise was unsettling, keeping me engaged throughout. As the story progressed, all the secrets were unveiled, fitting together like pieces of a puzzle.

An entertaining, twisted, and addictive read!

Chloe is serving a life sentence. In her own home. Ever since the horrific day her mother died, Chloe's life has been anything but normal - more like a carefully constructed prison. Her father hasn’t let her go to school, have friends or leave the house alone. As she grows up, Chloe begins to question the motives behind her dad's obsessive control. What would happen if she broke one of his many rules? And what exactly is he hiding under the overgrown grass in the back garden? When new neighbors arrive next door, they trigger a chain of events that causes Chloe to suspect her father's motives are far darker than she knew. Now she faces the terrifying consequences of defying the man who controls her every waking moment. Will she risk everything to win her freedom or will her father’s dark secrets keep her captive forever?

This is my first time reading Ruth Harrow and I loved it! This story was so well written and had me hooked pretty much from the start.

Sometimes, I love a fast-faced book that I can binge in one sitting and that is exactly what I did with this book today.

I found the beginning of the book quite repetitive and even though I predicted every single major plot twist, I still reallllllly liked this book and couldn’t put it down! There were still parts that surprised me, though. The premise was quite unsettling, keeping you on your toes. Towards the end, all of the truths are revealed and the pieces of the puzzle fall into place nicely.

A fun, twisted, binge-worthy read!

Thank you Netgalley and Inkubator books for the ARC edition of this book.

Rule number one: stay inside. Chloe is a teenager locked in the house by her controlling father except for a trip outside once a month. She is the narrator of the book. As a child, she remembers seeing blood in the bathtub and then never seeing her again. Her father has hidden her away from the outside world. I thought the book was predictable, but it had a surprising twist! I finished it in one day.

Thank you Inkubator Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
