This was a solid and thrilling ride. It had many twists and turns and it definitely took me on a ride. The final twist was a bit of a let down though and that is what brought my rating down.

A great twisty turny read. This only lost a star for me because I didn’t really connect with the characters and didn’t find them overly likeable. But the story line was fast paced and suspenseful. It kept me guessing. Overall I would recommend this one

This was a great book with intricate characters which at times all had something to hide. It makes you think of so many possible scenarios but the culprit is not who you expect it to be. A lot of drama ensues throughout but at the end justice is served. It was extremely well written and I would enjoy reading another novel by this author.

Watch Your Back by Terri Parlato The narrative weaves together the flawed viewpoints from multiple POVs to create a gripping, action-packed domestic thriller that emphasizes the difficulties of marriage and the fallout from poor communication. The identity of the kidnapper and assailant was a complete surprise.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Another book with Detective Rita Meyers on the case; which I didn’t realize and had some crazy deja vu at first!
It only took me two days to read this; I was hooked… right up until the end. The big reveal felt like a letdown after how intriguing the story had been up to that point. It was a solid 4 stars until the ending, when it finished at a 3.

Eve Thayer and her husband Nathan seem to have drifted apart. Their baby is kidnapped and during the investigation, the fact that Nathan had an affair that recently ended is revealed. The rift between the couple is even wider. The baby is returned, but the investigation hasn't uncovered the kidnapper. Bad things are happening around them, have they been targeted?

I enjoyed this thriller, told in multiple POV's. All the characters are flawed in some way. I would never have guessed the identity of the kidnapper/assailant.

I absolutely loved this book! The way all of the characters are connected left me guessing until the very end.
I really felt for the main character and felt like the author did an awesome job articulating the difficulties in the marriage and what happens when there is a lack of communication.
I would definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read more by Terri Parlato.

Their story takes a harrowing turn when their baby daughter disappears, forcing them to unite in a desperate search. Parallel to their narrative is the story of Rita, the detective on their case. Rita grapples with her personal demons, including a fear of commitment that threatens to impede her investigation. Told through alternating perspectives, this story unfolds into a thrilling, fast-paced journey through the complexities of domestic life and the justice system.

A big fan of Terri Parlato's other books, I was excited to dive into this new one. It was even better than I could have imagined. From the storyline, to the characters, to the setting, (Boston), everything was scripted with much attention to detail. The story is told in multiple POV'S and also has multiple storylines which adds depth to the story.

This is a story about Eve and Nathan and their baby daughter. As is the case with many couples, work and life get in the way of a relationship and the marriage suffers repercussions from this. When their daughter goes missing they must pull together to find her.
It is also a story about Rita, the detective assigned to this case. Rita has her own issues she needs to face including her fear of commitment in a relationship.
Alternating views from these characters weaves a fast paced, suspenseful domestic thriller.

Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington for the advanced copy of this book

I was hooked to Terri Parlato's work after 'All the Dark Places'. Terri does it again with 'Watch Your Back'.

This is a serious page turner as I couldn't keep this down until the last page. It is quite fast paced told in multiple perspectives. Also liked the red herrings and how the multiple storylines tie up together. Recommend!

Thank you Kensington Publishing and NetGalley for this e-arc in exchange of my unbiased review.

On the surface, psychiatrist Eve Thayer seems to have the perfect life. The successful career, a devoted husband, and a lovely home and beautiful child. But just beneath the surface, something is decidedly wrong. A series of incidents, both at work, which is in a creepy, old asylum, and at home where a vacant house in the neighborhood has recently been broken into,, has left, feeling unsettled and afraid for her life. A believably creepy story.
