A solid 3.75⭐️ read. I want to rate it higher, but the ending just felt lackluster. Like Victoria just didn’t learn her lesson. I also need to know what happened to Nox.

This definitely felt like a slow-burn thriller to me. It focused a lot on what happened in Victoria’s past 20 years ago, and from the prologue you think you know. But there are quite a few twists and turns along that way that make you question your own guesses. At one point I knew who the true villain was but not who they truly were. That part was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the multiple POV’s. Overall, if you’re looking for a solid thriller and are ok with a lot of non-linear timelines then this is a solid read for you.

Thank you Net Galley and publishers for this arc. I look forward to reading more of Marnie’s work.

I was gripped! The twists and turns felt like whiplash, just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, BOOM, thrown in another direction!
Would recommend this book to all.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC and thank you to Marnie Vinge.

She used to be famous. Now she just wants to survive.

Ex-pop star Victoria London is shocked when she gets an email about her old friend Nikki Stone. Nikki’s been dead for almost twenty years. And Victoria was the one who killed her.

Although Nikki’s death was a tragic accident, it has haunted Victoria ever since and was one of the reasons she turned her back on stardom. The other was an obsessed fan who stalked her and made her life a misery.

When Victoria decided to leave fame behind, she set up a wolf rescue charity. After the snake pit of life as a celebrity, she found the company of wolves safer, and much more rewarding.

But her hard-won peace is shattered by the email from an unknown sender.

It brings up painful memories and emotions she thought she had left behind. It stirs up something deadlier too - a ruthless killer who seems determined to make Victoria pay for her past mistakes.

Can Victoria hold on to her fulfilling life caring for the animals she loves? Or will she finally have to pay a horrifying price for the darkness that came with stardom?

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Crazy For You by Marnie Vinge is a thrilling psychological thriller with some good twists and turns. It starts strong, spikes interest and sucks in quickly but around the middle things kind of slow down and I started to lose interest. It felt like it went circles and circles and headed nowhere, but then some action started and I was back in the story guessing what was going on. Good turns and twists kicked in and I ended up loving the book!

This was a good thriller. I liked the twists and turns. I thought I had some things figured out but I was wrong.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator books for this ARC.

Ex-popstar Victoria left the glam and glitz behind when a tragic accident left a young girl dead. Twenty years later, she runs a struggling wolf sanctuary. In order to get fundraising to prevent the sanctuary being closed, she agrees to a tell-all interview. But now an old stalker has resurfaced, making Victoria fear for her life.
Well, Marnie has done it again. This was a brilliant, fast-paced thriller that had me flying through the pages in just a few hours. This was such a great read, and I highly recommend. Also, if you've not read any of Marnie's other thrillers, what are you waiting for?

I thought I knew where this one was heading. I put it down for two days because I was upset with how predictable the story was feeling.
I was so wrong.
I am so glad I picked it back up.

This will be getting posted to my Goodreads account (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/107165405-nicole) tonight.

I’ll say, right off the back that the characters names were all so similar that they had me confused and scrolling back through chapters to make sure I was understanding. I also figured out the plot of the book very early on, which made it hard for me to continue on. I kind of struggled to get through it after that. I did like the plot, but I feel like the names gave it away for me, even the character though author tried to hide details in plain sight.

When Victorias friend dies in an accident, she decides to leave behind a life of fame to run a wolf sanctuary.

She finds this life of anonymity safer but suddenly she finds herself being stalked by someone.

This is a twisty thriller and one I found quite different from the normal plots of this genre. It is an exciting and moody read.
I loved the story around the wolves they played and integral part of Victorias situation.

Crazy For You is definitely worth a read and I think it's one of those books that would make a fabulous TV drama..

I love the premises of this book, especially the wolves, and I would have liked to read a lot more about them. The main character's story is intriguing. What I did not enjoy was the repetitiveness in the book. I do understand that this is the way people are when they are obsessed about something, but it did just not work that well for me. I felt like only at the very end did the story finally move forward. Don't get discouraged though, because this is a specialty of mine. I do not like to listen to people not getting over things, obsessing about old stuff, not moving forward. Same applies to books.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC. Right away I got sucked into the short prologue. It’s a multi pov in first person and it’s a dual timeline There are also some minor spelling errors in some parts of the novel. Victoria London used to be famous and her best friend fell to her death allegedly. Victoria leaves LA and twenty years later she’s settled down and runs a wolf sanctuary. There’s an interview done for the first time in a long time and with that a lot of memories come back to her and haunt her and the secrets from the past. Jake gives off really creepy vibes.. I can tell right away he is around for trouble. I really feel like Alice is the one who is weird.. This definitely is about jealousy mostly and omg some characters are whacko. I love it, though it’s a slow burn for sure. Lots of drama with jealousy and friendships, blackmail and secrets. One of my fave things of this is the wolf sanctuary. I love animals. The twists in this is good but for me it was somewhat predictable but still love the drama. If you love stalker and obsessiveness you’ll love this.

The first chapter definitely hooks you in from the get go. I’ll even admit I was one of those people while reading this book that thought “I know what’s going to happen. I have this all figured out.” No. No I did not. How naive of me to think that it could really be all out there, being quite so obvious. Even when I did think I had this book figured out, I loved. Every. Single. Second. And then I got to those twists! And I literally had to reread whole pages because I’m the dumbass who though it was so simple. That last page did have me screaming though. I mean come on, honey. Really? After all that and we make the same mistake? 🤔 great book. Had a great time reading it. Overall great.

The tag line reads a gripping thriller with a spectacular twist. Well it ticked all the right boxes.

It kept me gripped from the beginning of the book to the end. What an enjoyable read.

Thank you for the opportunity to review

This is a fun and captivating read. It starts strongly with the death of Nikki, falling from a balcony and Victoria London's part in it. Victoria is a pop star who after the tragedy becomes the founder of sanctuary for wolves. The story continues with an interview Victoria has set up with a view to raising funds for the struggling charity. Other main characters are introduced, Allie, the interviewer and You tube contributor who Victoria hopes will help but finds herself thrown by a strange coincide. Allie is also a fan of the old Victoria life as a popstar. As is her best friend Joey, a split and intertwined timeline plays out delving deeper into hidden secrets that when revealed are a bit of a shocker. Cleverly woven and played out this is a suspenseful mystery and thriller that has you battling the threads in confusion as it all stunningly falls into place.

It was hard for me to put down. I was on a rollercoaster of guesses and in the end my guesses still were not all correct . Definitely a book I appreciate and a writer who writes so intriguing. Highly recommend.

The book started and ended strong. The ending in particular will be very memorable to me. I did not guess the twist at all. I also appreciated how everything tied together. I had certain questions throughout the book, but they were all answered by the end. I enjoyed reading three POVs from two different timelines. It is always fun to read from multiple perspectives, especially when it’s a story like this and I don’t know who to trust.

That said, I got bored in the middle of the book. I was slightly confused as to why the interview with Victoria and Allie had to take multiple days. I also did not feel particularly drawn to the characters, so there were times that I lost interest. I’m glad I finished it, though.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

I received this book from NetGalley.

The book sounded good, and the cover drew me in. However I'm 21% of the way in and nothing has happened. Someone died, we know that. We also know that Jake is a bad man...and that's it. It's very slow going and taking a long time to get through so far.

Another thing that I find odd is that this is an interview taking place over several days. But there's so little actual interviewing happening, so why does it need to take so long? It seems unnecessary to have someone in your home for that long, especially with all of the secrets.

It's obvious that Alice is crazy, however I did not see the anti-freeze twist coming! And I like how that part was written.

It becomes obvious later in the book that Joey is actually Alice, pretending. But the twists and turns just start there! These made the book more interesting for me to read! When Victoria realises who Joey really is, she allows herself to get corners. Isn't there an event? Couldn't she have gone inside to it? Or waited with the waitress for the police? Annoying when this happens.

Overall the book was decent and I loved the twists and turns. But it took too long for the book to get going and there was too much time where nothing happened.

Marnie Vinage's novel was my introduction to her work, and it left an indelible impression. The book was nothing short of phenomenal! True to its cover's promise, it delivered a gripping psychological journey with a twist that was nothing short of shocking. Throughout the read, I found myself playing detective, trying to outguess the narrative, but Vinage's crafty storytelling had me second-guessing every clue. The moment of revelation, delivered through a seemingly innocuous email, flipped everything on its head, compelling me to pause and reconsider the entire narrative thread. The experience was so profound that I'm compelled to dive back in for a second read, eager to unearth any elusive hints I might have initially overlooked. For aficionados of thrillers that tantalize the mind and keep you on edge, this is a must-read!

This book was absolutely amazing! The cover didn’t lie when it said it was a gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist. I found myself constantly trying to guess what the twist might be, but Marnie Vinge kept me on my toes the entire time. When we read that last email, it was like everything I thought I knew was turned upside down. I had to set the book down and rethink everything I'd read up until that point. I’m already planning a reread to see if I can catch any of the subtle hints that might have slipped by before that jaw-dropping reveal. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a thriller that keeps you guessing!

I liked the idea of the book but this one is just not for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator Books. ~I was given this book and made no commitments to leave my opinions, favorable or otherwise~

I really liked the premise of this book but it was hard to stay engaged with it until towards the very end when it started to get really good. I liked the ending and the twist was good, although I did guess it.
