It was very fast paced but wasn’t really a triller to me. It was pretty hilarious so I’d probably call it a comedy mystery? I very much enjoyed the book I just wouldn’t consider it a psychological thriller because the main character was way too stupid.

Such a good read. Keeps you on your toes the whole time!! I could not put this book down!!! Can’t wait to read more by this author !!

This was definitely a fast-paced so-called psychological thriller. In all honesty, I thought the entire thing was humorous and rather than psychological I felt it was more satire. Had I been expecting Satire this would have been a 5-star read.

The entire thing was unbelievable, I never felt that it was suspenseful and guessed each thing as it happened. I didn't really like any of the characters I felt they were all FAKE. I think it is because I really hated the MC (Megan) She was gullible and not really likeable. If I would have been Danielle, or Sarah at the hen party I would have probably punched her myself. She was an entitled "witch". I think if I would have liked her a little more and this would not have been deemed a psychological thriller I would have liked it a lot more.

Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood Books for an advanced readers copy of this book!

Twists, turns, and so, so much suspense. This is my first read from Ruby Speechley and I must say that I am already craving more! Must-read!

The book started out interesting, however very unbelievable. Far fetched how easy it was for everyone to manipulate Megan. I would have given this book a higher rating because it did hold my attention, until the end. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book.

So, this book def held my attention and I liked it, but I find it hard to believe ANYONE that just that DUMB! These grandparents have to be the worst babysitters in the world. Megan is extremely gullible and kind of stupid to believe Beth and everything everyone else tells her. Why would you keep people around after they basically assault you and put it on social media? I love her books, but it is soooo far fetched! What are the odds that this one person would find all the psycho people in the world that wanted to get to her; people with no connections to each other? And the ending....ruined the book for me. I dropped my rating just by the last couple of chapters.

I was dizzy with the twists and turns in this book, to the point I wasn’t sure I cared who Brooke really was or what her intentions towards Megan and Jamie were right up until the end, when the truth was more shocking and interesting than I imagined!

Megan and her friends are very unlikeable and Megan is pretty thick at times but this is well worth reading!! It’s a chavvy Dallas meets Dynasty type story with scandals all round, totally worth it!

A twisty tale about love, obsession and revenge. Megan and Jamie are about to be married but things start to go wrong at the hen party. As the story unfolds, it seems the past cannot be forgotten.

The Uninvited Guest by Ruby Speechley is a suspenseful read! Megan is finally marrying her partner even if they have a few problems. She has secrets though and during her hen (bachelorette) party, her boyfriend's cousin shows up uninvited. Megan and her friends are welcoming to this woman but mischief begins to ensure. Is cousin Beth a new friend connection or the bringer of trouble into Megan's life? Will she prove to be an ally in keeping Megan's secrets or exposing them for all of her family and friends to see?

I really liked the characters, the setting, the trouble-making, and craziness in this book!

Anything by Ruby Speechley is an auto read for me. I have really enjoyed everything I have read of hers so far. This one started out a little off for me but then halfway through it picked up with twist after twist.

The book is not for me. The main character is absolutely unbearable, someone is very simple minded and having to read every single thought that crosses her mind is extremely painful. I could not pass 5%. Also the book (or the main character) tends to focus on details and things that add nothing to the story.

If the main character lacks intelligence and it is intentional, can we at least read it from the third point of view so we can skip her insane inner chatter?

Nevertheless, I will try to read other books to see if I like their characters better. The author seems promising for a fast type of thriller. Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange of an honest review.

This is a fast paced thriller, with so many twists and turns, i was dizzy! That being said, the character of Megan irritated me, she was so guillible! I did enjoy it on the whole though.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I was not dissapointed!

Overall was a well-written book, with a good storyline and interesting characters. The twists definitely kept the reader guessing, with each page changing the feeling as to who the antagonist was.

Would recommend if you enjoy a twisty mystery-thriller, with fast paced chapters to keep you engaged!

This was my first read by Ruby Speechley. Though it had good pace and the premise was good, it was only a 3 star read for me. The main character bought in to everything she was told, no matter how far fetched. The storyline had too many “twists” and back and forths that it got a bit muddy.

I would give this author another try, but this book just wasn’t a favorite for me.

Thank you to Ruby Speechley, NetGalley, and Boldwood books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I have followed this author since her first book a few years ago and this was just as good.

It was an interesting storyline, well written, plenty of twists and turns with a great ending, I was hooked from the very beginning.

Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC which I can thoroughly recommend.

Megan is only days away from her wedding to Jamie and about to head off on her hen weekend when the first of several unexplained, un-nerving events happen. Things continue to take a strange turn when someone Megan doesn't recognise turns up at her hen weekend claiming to be Jamie's cousin from Australia.

The book held my attention really well and I read it in two days; its the first book I've read by Ruby Speechley and I would be interested in trying some of her other thrillers. The pacing was good and the short chapters helped to keep me engrossed.

What made this a three-star read for me was that I really struggled to root for Megan, I really wanted to but I found her to not be particularly likeable. I also found it irritating that nobody was taking the events from the hen party more seriously, the general theme seemed to be brushing things off so as not to ruin the weekend when it was already pretty ruined. I also found it ridiculous that she continued to refuse to involve the police even once her toddler was clearly being brought into things.

The Uninvited Guest was as twisty and fast paced as described and it was quite a thrilling start in the first half of the book.

Unfortunately once we get past that and the reveals start coming, it was a mix of excitement and sheer confusion. The thrill aspect at the start was lost and the reveals started to make less and less sense as the main antagonist seemed to keep switching between personas that made the whole story less believable.

By the time we got to the actual reveal, it felt rushed and hurried to get the story over and done with.

This book! I think I had it figured out, and then it make a turn .. again and again! I read it in 2 days and was shocked at the ending! Great book!

I loved this book and all the drama. It was fast paced and it kept me wanting to read it and figure out what was going on and who was behind it all! The characters are like able so that made me like the book even more.

The Uninvited Guest is a fast paced psychological thriller packed with secrets, lies, twists and surprises. I really enjoyed this book and flew through it. The main character, Megan, was a bit gullible and naive, but i liked her. The story was believable for the most part and interesting.

Megan is about to marry Jamie, the love of her life and father of her daughter. Before the wedding is the Hen party and the stag party. At the hen party, strange things start happening and a stranger crashes the party and claims to be Jamie's cousin. Megan isn't sure who to trust but decides to confide in "the cousin" and winds up revealing a very personal secret. Massive chaos ensues leading up to the wedding day and a sinister plot is revealed.

The writing was smooth and the short chapters made it an easy read. Aside from Megan, the other characters were quite unlikeable and some were downright evil.
