Your son and stepson both fancy the new girl next door. They grow closer to her and apart in their own relationship. Then the incident happens and your son is the main suspect,

This book was a quick listen and kept me intrigued the entire time. At times I felt the writing was moving too fast and there wasn’t enough description.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC audiobook.

This book revolves around every parent’s worst nightmare. One child is seriously hurt & two others are blamed for it. This is an intense & unputdownable psychological suspense. I love a good thriller that gives me an ending I don’t expect. Karen King delivered. Just wait for the epilogue.

I was thrilled to listen to another audiobook narrated by one of my absolute favorites, Tamsin Kennard! She’s amazing!!!

Thank you, Karen King, Bookouture, Bookouture Audio, & Netgalley, for my early copy & audiobook! All opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgally for an ARC of this new novel on audio book!

Definitely a good read. Kept me engaged and wanting to keep the pages turning. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending. The epilogue was an awesome twist!!

A new girl moves in next door and two brothers fight over her attention. She seems into one and then seems into the other one. After her fall from her window, both boys are looked at for possibly pushing her out the window.

I liked the YA feeling of the two boys trying to win over the new girl. Once she falls and is placed into a coma we get a little more back story between everyone. Some of the secrets the people in this book have are shocking!

The ending where we find out all the details from the fall was totally surprising but also kind of out there since we had no clues to that happening EVER! Great read!

I was so fully invested in this from the start. I loved that we got multiple POVs in the book. The way it's written makes you suspicious of everyone. Several times I was so sure I knew who did it only to be left speechless at the end. This narrator is one of my favorites as she just does such a great job capturing how tense thrillers are. I would easily read this one again.

Audiobook review.

This was a great thriller. The narrative was very entertaining and enjoyable.

It was packed with suspence and intense moments. Keeping me on edge throughout.

When a girl falls from a window everyone is searching for answers. Everyone becomes a suspect.

Really enjoyed this and the concept. Quick and easy read that had me hooked. I thought I guessed what was going on but I was wrong! The last couple lines had me shocked! I would recommend reading

I liked this! Lots of twists and possibilities about what actually happened to Rachel, the girl next door. The short, fast paced chapters are told from multiple, clearly identified, POVs. It kept me guessing right to the end.
The narration of the audiobook is clear, well paced and very easy to listen to. I quite enjoyed listening to it.
Thank You to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the opportunity to listen to and enjoy this ARC.

This feels a bit like the writer couldn't decide what the plot should be so wrote all of them and then randomly picked one at the end. Otherwise well written with good pacing and interesting characters.

I was a bit skeptical starting this book because the title is very vanilla and the last few thrillers I have read have been lacking. However I literally made a note to myself how explosive the opening scene was in the book. As I was listening and falling along with the named girl I knew this story would be fantastic.
The ending of the book was unique. King took the "girl next door" trope and really flipped it on its head.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for my advance copy of this audiobook

Girl Next Door is my first Karen King novel and I truly enjoyed it! Most of the books I read or listen to are mysteries / thrillers. The twist isn’t exceptionally shocking, but I enjoyed the red herrings King included to keep the reader off track. The plot of the story wasn’t exactly unique either, however, the dynamic of the main family (Ness, Aaron, Lucas, Jacob) certainly made the store more interesting. This would make a great beach book.

Thank you Netgalley, Karen King and Bookouture for the audio arc of Girl Next door.
Narrated by Tasmin Kennard.

This was my first book of Karen Kings and I really enjoyed it. Girl next door tackles the complexities of a blended family, the secrets we keep and how these secrets can destroy, not only us but other people too. This makes for a great medium to fast paced domestic thriller. I felt like the characters and the plot line had a nice balance and well fleshed out. I felt like this could be any family living down any street. Tasmin Kennard narrated this book and I always love her voice.

Vanessa and Aaron are thrilled to finally have new next-door neighbors who have children their own kids' age. Both families instantly hit it off, especially Vanessa and Aaron's two sons, Jacob and Lukas, and the new neighbor's daughter, Rachel. But paradise does not last long for the two families and soon there is trouble brewing between the teenagers. And then tragedy strikes, and Rachel's life is in danger. Many point fingers at Jacob, but was it actually him who threatened Rachel's life?

Thank you Karen King and Bookouture Audio for the complimentary audiobook in exchange for my honest and true thoughts. All opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone.

I initially enjoyed this story and plot line and was sucked in, but the ending fell a little flat in my opinion. The buildup and mystery was definitely intriguing and I really liked the multiple points-of-view from the different characters. It gave the story more suspense and inklings that lots of characters had secrets and pasts that they wanted to keep hidden.

I am glad that I received an audiobook version of this book as I loved how the narrator brought life to the story. For thrillers in particular, I typically enjoy audiobooks more since the narrator can give it an air of suspicion and guilt and intrigue. Even though the ending disappointed me, this was still a fun audiobook adventure and I recommend it for those who are looking for a quick summer suspenseful read.

was not given enough time to listen to this one and review it. Thank you to publisher for giving me access but please allow more time for people to finish listening/reading before making it expire. thank you!

Girl Next Door by Karen King and narrated by Tamsin Kennard was an excellent psychological suspense audiobook/book. This audiobook was full of great twists and turns throughout, that
was very addictive from start to finish and I ended up listening to it all day.

The narrator Tamsin Kennard was excellent and bought this book alive.

I highly recommend this book. Excellent!

This book kept me guessing the entire time! Was it Jacob? Was it Aaron or Lucas?! Maybe it was even Carl! I never guessed who the real culprit was! The end was such a twist I couldn't believe it! Such a good read!!

Girl Next Door by Karen King is an outstanding domestic thriller narrated by the highly talented Tamsin Kennard. This is a powerhouse duo for an audiobook and every minute was enjoyable

The plot had a good pace, well matched to the storyline and dialogue, reflecting the dynamic nature of the interconnectedness between the families. A great listen and one that I now have on my audible to buy list to listen to again

Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture, the author Karen King and Narrator Tamsin Kennard for this brilliant ALC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own

Vanessa and her son Jacob live with her partner Aaron and his son Lucas - they are leading a peaceful life until Rachel moves next door - she goes to the same school as the boys, and over time they both start fighting for her.
One morning when Rachel falls from her balcony window leading to coma, Vanessa's son Jacob is accused of pushing her - everyone is saying he was jealous and wanted her all to himself. This causes a lot of familial tension leading to one boy running away from home! He is adamant that he will not come home until Rachel tells the truth once she is out of her coma.
When all the suspicion points towards one more man, more past comes out making Vanessa never to believe in anyone!

All the elders are forced to believe Jacob's innocence when the real attacker decides to make an appearance!
This was a great thriller - got hooked on from the start of it!

Thanks to Netgalley, Bookouture Audio and Karen King for the audio ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

listened to on audio.

A story of a modern nuclear family, with step siblings viying for attention and the parents struggling to support each step child. Many families today will relate to Aaron & Vanessas struggles to keep the trust and faith whilst supporting each others children.

Who pushed Rachael? or did she jump?

This was an interesting story with a good twist - i am not sure that the book title reflects the storyline though.

its worth a read but it left me a little flat at the end.

4 stars.

I couldn't put this book down! It tells the story of neighbors and how quickly they can go from best friends to enemies. The neighbors become friends, and then one of their teenagers is found unconscious after seemingly falling out of a window. Rachel is in a coma and the two neighbor boys are the prime suspects. The parents are no longer speaking and the boys are fighting with each other. I thought I figured it out, only to be mistaken.

It kept me listening and intrigued, I couldn't wait to be able to hear it again! The plot had me hooked! The narrator was great and I was able to tell each character apart. I highly recommend it!
