A great read which kept me hooked from start to finish. A storyline full of twists and turns. This book is not to be missed.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

I loved this book!!! It kept me wanting more, Teddy such a nasty character and other harbouring their own secrets. Everyone needs a William who will look out for them and protect them when it really matters. Such a good read with the right amount of suspense built

This was a quick read that I enjoyed. I wouldn't classify the book as a thriller but the story kept me interested. The main character is in an abusive marriage which might be triggering for some people. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be reading more. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

wow!!!!! this book was sooooo freaking good. so many unexpected twists and turns!!!!! 5/5 stars without hesitation

I always seek out Theo’s books. Please read his detective series if you haven’t. This book is about a crazy ex, a bit crazy boyfriend and a stalker or two. It’s very much a domestic thriller. His easy writing style makes all of his books a great way to spend an afternoon. While not my favorite, it still held my interest. Do check out Theo’s books. I’ve read almost all of them. Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Firstly thank you for my early access in exchange of a review.
Whilst the premise was good this book had errors which left the last part a challenge to finish .
It felt quite long and clunky .
It did have me gripped to discover the truth and suspecting everyone and it was insightful to the issues of a stalker case .

Well, a few months ago I read a book by this author for the first time and I actually enjoyed it a lot, so I was naturally eager to read a new one.
Sadly, this didn't work for me. I did like the premise of this book but the execution failed to hold my attention.
Some dialogues here were very hard to swallow...
At least it was fast and easy to go through.
I'd recommend to other readers who have read any books by this author before.

Thank you NetGalley! This book had me feeling for the main character and what she went through. I did not think it was going where it went. Very good!

I wanted to love this novel as the premise was strong and full of promise but the plot was over-the-top melodramatic and fell quite flat. The characters are caricatures of goodies and baddies without any depth or nuance. The dialogue is clunky and the court scenes defy even suspended disbelief. A very generous two stars.

This was an incredibly crafted psychological thriller that captivated me from the very first page and held me in its grip until the very end. The authors storytelling skills are on full display as he weaves a complex and intriguing narrative.

The plot centers around a seemingly ordinary individual whose life takes a dramatic turn due to unforeseen circumstances. The authors ability to delve deep into the psyche of his characters is truly remarkable. The protagonist is richly developed, with layers of complexity that make them incredibly relatable and compelling. Their emotional journey is portrayed with such authenticity that I found myself deeply invested in their fate.

One of the standout features of this book is its intricate plot. The author expertly balances multiple storylines and timelines, creating a web of suspense that kept me guessing at every turn. There are so many twists and turns that left me on the edge of my seat. The pacing is perfect, with each chapter ending on a note of anticipation that makes it nearly impossible to put the book down.

The themes explored in this are thought-provoking. The book delves into the complexities of relationships, the impact of past traumas, and the lengths to which people will go to protect their secrets.

In conclusion, If Only You Knew is an exceptional read that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a well-crafted psychological thriller. This book is a testament to Theo’s talent. It's a gripping, emotional, and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you've read the last page.

This started off great, handing out some creepy, stalkery vibes. Then it kind of fell flat for me. I'm still not sure I understand why William an.d his "secret" was a big issue and caused him to act as he did. But that's neither here nor there. It was a quick ready and an okay way to spend a few hours between the pages.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If Only You Knew by Theo Baxter is a nerves-wracking, blood-boiling divorce thriller that wakes up all the violence in your body.
This book was hard for me and I needed to put it down many times just to cool down. I just can't stand narcissists! Sorry to all the narcissistic bastards out there but you don't deserve oxygen on this planet!

Emily, oh dear Emily! Well done for standing up to the bully! It is hard! You are brave. In this case, the villain is not just a narcissist, he is a rich narcissist and we all know what that means: money+conections=power.
Many women would give up, and many would be smarter, many do this or that, but when you are in a situation manipulated by a narcissistic psychopath it is hard to predict how you would actually do it! It isn't very easy!

When Emily said enough is enough she didn't know she just turned her life into a nightmare - harassment, stalking, break-ins, phone calls...
Teddy will not accept No as an answer and he will definitely not accept that his wife will divorce him! He will twist and manipulate everything and if that does not work he will take what he thinks belongs to him!
Both of them said ‘Till death do us part’. One of them meant it.

Thank you, NetGalley and Inkubator Books for this copy!

I’m baffled. I was expecting a sinister thriller, but this was simply an account of Emily and Teddy’s nasty divorce.

A story about a controlling husband who won’t let his wife go and ignores the restraining order. He taunts and terrorises her in hope that will get her back… what?

Emily is on and off dating William, who went from suspect to friend, multiple times and this element of the story was never properly resolved.

There was very little character development, plot holes all over the place and no real twist.

I’m sorry, but I can’t find anything positive to say about this one.

1 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

It was a good thriller but I guessed the twists before the end but would be great for anyone who is just starting with the genre

** Reader discretion - This book didn’t have a content/ trigger warning page, so be advised it contains either graphic to moderate mentions or depictions of the following. Gaslighting, Toxic relationships, Gun Violence, Murder, Infidelity, Death, Domestic & Emotional abuse, Car Accident, & Stabbing.**

This book was not for me. I’m not even sure what I just read honestly? A 200+ page cautionary tale to marriage where the ex-husband rants for 95% percent of the book and to be made out as SUCH an issue for the FMC only to get killed off in the last few pages? And I’m still confused on why William was acting so weird and then all the sudden everything was fine? Did I miss a huge chunk of the book? Was it edited out? No resolution and a ton of plot holes and strings still left. If it’s a series I won’t be continuing it. Feel like I should have DNFd. Don’t recommend. 1.75⭐️ rounded up.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

A bit slow to start, but did pick up speed eventually. The plot was predictable, if a little far fetched. During the divorce proceedings Emily was humiliated, threatened and cyber stalked, which I did find plausible. The courtroom drama dragged on a little too much and became boring. Not my favourite book by this author.

I literally could not put this book down and I stayed up late reading to finish it. It is addictive and thrilling in the best way possible. Highly recommend anything from this author, never disappoints.

This book started off as a 4-5 star for me but went downhill at about 50% of the way in. I couldn’t put it down as it was giving me lifetime movie vibes but it became redundant and over the top ridiculous. The court appearances were so over the top, nobody could ever get away with speaking like that in a court room. It lacked a true twist and the so called twist was just blah. The redundancy in this book really was getting to me. It could have been over in half the time if things weren’t repeated over and over. I was quite shocked that this went downhill . And the ad that is as posted, I mean really?? Unnecessary and just more filler. I really thought I found a new favorite author when I started this but it just fell flat for me. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this.

Quick, decent read. Emily is in the middle of a high profile divorce from her abusive husband, Teddy, who uses his power and family influence to delay proceedings as long as possible, pushing her into more debt and the inability to move on. She rekindles a friendship with an old flame, William, hoping the relationship can move further. Just as Emily thinks she can start living a “normal” life again, someone has broken into her home and she feels someone is watching her wherever she goes. Is William who he says he is or is Teddy somehow seeking revenge?

I found some parts to be repetitive and over the top, however, many of Emily and Teddy’s thoughts and reactions are plausible giving the subject matter. Would recommend for a quick afternoon read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advanced copy. This one had stress from page 1! Emily is going through a vicious divorce with her ex, Teddy. Then she gets a stalker and her email is hacked. She also has a new boyfriend, William who is acting strange. Very fast paced thriller!
