Ariana is a troubled youth from a bad background who finds herself in the foster care system. She flees her latest family and lucks into finding a job as an au pair for a family with two young children. She gets comfortable not having to worry about a place to live or having food to eat. However, the family has its share of issues. The story unfolds at present day when Ariana is 27 and a decade ago when she was 17. About half way through the book, I was lulled into forgetting this was a thriller. I was just enjoying the story of how the characters evolved. I quite literally yelled out loud... "WAIT! It's a thriller!" Mr Crowe can't fool me for long. This wasn't going to have some sweet, romantic ending. Shortly after, everything started heating up (pun intended) as bad things kept happening. You'll have to read it to learn the rest.

Caleb Crowe is one of my favorite authors, so when I came across his latest book on NetGalley, I jumped on it. I could not put it down. I read it in two days. I got irrationally angry at anyone interrupting me while I was reading it. I really felt invested in the characters and loved how they evolved over time. I especially loved how most of the chapters began with the same (or similar) sentence as they ended. I kept wondering how he was going to pull that off each chapter. I loved all his books, but I think this is his best one yet.

Wow! This was my first book by Caleb Crowe and I loved it! Before I was even done reading it, I went to Amazon and purchased his other two books! I can't wait to read more of his work. Truly a great writer!

This was a 5 star for me, I was a bit confused by some of the lingo because I am from NA, but after some quick googling, it made sense. I highly recommend it, though I knew what happened it the end, I couldn't have predicted the road that was taken to get there!

Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the eARC.
Wow, just wow, what a compelling book, loved it!
It started out with the story of a young girl and 12-year old boy whose house burns down. The boy rescues the girl and 10 years later the girl, now married, loses her husband and the boy and she meet again.
As time goes on, the atmosphere of the book becomes more and more ominous and the ending was as I expected ... very tense, so terrific! I loved the way the book was written: the present and 10 years earlier, so you could really get into the rhythm of the story.
Great psychological mystery!

NEVER LET YOU GO BY THE ONE AND ONLY CALEB CROWE.
Release date set for the 26th of January 2025.
