I have not read a book by Emma Rogers before, however, that’s going to change after reading Night Shift.

This book grabbed me from the start and kept me up late reading so I could find out how it ended. I loved the pacing, how this all happens within 12 hours… I couldn’t put it down! There were a few repetitive moments but easy to look over as a whole. Not very many books make me want to willingly lose out on sleep, but this is definitely one of them!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc copy in exchange for a honest review.

At first, I was slightly sceptical how a 12-hour night shift with one member of staff in a storage facility could possibly fill a whole book, but it definitely can.

Nina is a medical student with a part-time job doing the night shift at a local storage warehouse. It’s ideal because it’s very quiet and she can get on with her studies. Nina is also T1 diabetic and wears a continuous blood sugar monitor which sends warning notifications through her phone.

Users of the storage units can only get in between 6pm and 6am by using the door code that’s given only to them. But Nina has to do regular physical checks of the three floors of the facility through the night, and what if someone lets themselves into the building whilst she’s away from reception?

A brilliant storyline with lots of twists and turns.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC copy.
I loved it! Very fast paced. Read this book until early morning because I had to find out what happens.

I’m a big fan of Gemma Roger’s so was extremely excited when I saw this one.
Did this live up to my expectations? Absolutely it did!
I myself, have worked the night shift for years, so was able to relate to a lot of it. ( Mine was in a completely different environment ), but there were still only minimal people on duty.
The author has a real way of building tension, anxiety, nerves and fear whilst telling her stories, making them engaging and immersive.
I really did enjoy this book, it’s another 5 star read from Gemma Rogers.
Would recommend this happily to everyone.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC of The Night Shift by Gemma Rogers published by Boldwood Books
Gemma is one of my favorite authors. I'll drop what I'm doing to read her next book. And of course she doesn't disappoint with this novel.

She has weaved a story that keeps you locked in and that takes place over less than a 24 hour period. Action packed and full of interesting characters. Amazing description of the events that take place.
The story is told primarily by the main character Nina, but we also get insights by a few other characters throughout the novel. Nina is one tough cookie to say the least. I loved reading this story. The author had done an incredible job at using one location and a short period of time and turned it into a full length novel. It is fast paced, with twists and turns that I didn't see coming, a real page turner.
The story also bring some awareness to Diabetes, specifically Type 1
Thank you Gemma for writing amazing novels. I'm looking forward to the next🤩

I have worked the night shift too and I understand our main character Nina, when she says she loves to do it because of the peace and quiet, but I would not want to trade places with her. I loved to have some co workers around in case... 

Nina should be in a safe environment, surrounded by security camera's and so on, but when someone wants to harm you and they are inside the 'safe' space with you, that's when it all becomes very, very dangerous. 

Lots of shadowy places to hide in are an advantage, but on the other hand it also means the baddies can be lurking everywhere without you noticing them...

I loved the fierceness and braveness Nina showed us and I did not see the outcome coming. I utterly enjoyed this thrilling book. 5 stars

Thank you

Wow. This has got to be made into a movie! Talk about edge of your seat suspense. I felt like I was in the storage building right alongside her. Love the tension with the killer and this is only heightened with the addition of her diabetes and the drama that ensues- yikes I don't think I took a breath reading this! Very well done.

If you’re a fan of Gemma Rogers you will enjoy this one
The story got me right from the second I started it. It had a decent pace, but I did find it became a bit repetitive in some parts of trying to find a way out of the building. The twist in it were good and you don’t see them coming or at least I didn’t.
It’s always scary working a night shift. Especially when having to deal with the public. You never know what the night will bring and this night brought a lot more then Nina could have expected
A good quick read for a raining day. If you like locked door thrillers then you need to pick this one up.

I could not put The Night Shift by Gemma Rogers down. I was hooked from page one. The pacing was intense, and the storyline was intriguing. The twists and turns kept me reading well into the night.

I liked the main character, Nina. She was strong and tenacious. I didn't see the many twists coming.

I would recommend this book and this author. The story was original and the descriptions had you feeling right in the action.

Never thought this thriller would kept me up all night reading it.

Pulseracing, thriving, sooo much twists and drama I did not see coming.

Wow I have only just discovered Gemma Rogers books and this one did not disappoint.

It was really fast paced with a really good story line that kept you wanting to turn the page. The characters in it were great.

Thank you Netgallery for letting me read an early copy and another 5star book highly recommended.

A locked room thriller set in a storage warehouse at night? The lone attendant is a female, and she's also a diabetic? This one had all the right things to be a five star read.

Nina is about to start a 12-hour shift at Storage Queen. She was hoping for a quiet night, but she and her boyfriend had a huge fight right before her shift, her boss was annoyed by her slight tardiness, and soon after her boss leaves, a man rolls a suitcase into the facility that seems to be unusually heavy.

The first 30% of the book was on point. The action was intense, the fear was real, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. However, things started to drag, and it felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again. Luckily, the twist was surprising enough to redeem the slow spots, and this ended up being a pretty good read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the early copy. This title is expected to publish March 6, 2025.

I had forgotten how good Gemma Rogers books are. I colder put this book down was absolutely brilliant. Really recommend this book.

The Night Shift is a medium to fast paced story that switches gears very early from the get go. We are introduced to Nina, a night shift worker/medical student working at a storage facility who has just discovered a shady character lurking around.

Along with her Type 1 diabetes, it is hard to watch Nina struggle to stay healthy as she tries to figure out and outwit a criminal in the small storage building with no one responds to her alarms for help.

Although everything takes place in the storage unit building, there are a number of twists and characters that keep popping up with every turn.

It did seem to lull around 3/4 through the book and the plot started to feel a little dragged out - was anyone coming even after all that commotion? After the lull, a few more twists were thrown in to wrap up the main story of the plot and why things happened the way they did.

The added singular chapters from the POV of several side characters felt a little bit redundant and didn't add much to the plot as it felt more like an overexplanation.

Gemma Rodgers is a great writer.have read all of her books but in my opinion this is her best one yet. The night shift is a thrilling book that keep you thinking you know what is going to happen but something totally different happens and the female lead character nina is a type one diabetic and everything that concerns a type 1 diabetic happens no way of tracking blood sugars ect .and you are wondering if you will survive your 12 hour shift and two dangerous men want you dead brilliant book highly recommended.

I love Gemma Rogers’ books and this new thriller was no exception. Her writing conveys all of the emotions of Nina and her determination on her night shift at a storage facility. It’s fast-paced and action-packed. Readers are in for a real thrill ride!

Nina is a young college student working a solo overnight 12-hr shift at an indoor storage facility. When a suspicious customer comes and goes throughout the night her suspicion leads to a cat & mouse chase throughout the night with Nina fearing for her life. Will she escape the night alive?

A super slow start and then the next 80% of this novel felt like a really bad, low budget horror film. Nina was absolutely so dumb that it made me want to just get through the book as quickly as possible because it was just so unbelievable that someone could be that stupid, especially someone top of her class in medical school. I respect the diabetes aspect of the book, but she made some super dumb calls as a diabetic who knew her blood sugar would cause her issues throughout the night. How many times did you complain you were getting hypoglycemic and passed your snack drawer but didn't stop to grab something? Over and over and over and over again, she made really poor judgement calls. Hide or fight were her options and she just couldn't make up her mind. She would hide, but then when emerging from her hiding place she failed to obtain a weapon (numerous items were available to use as a weapon). When she did obtain a weapon, she would take like one swing and drop it and run. Like come on girl, you never drop your weapon, and you never stop hitting until they're unconscious or dead! Overall, this 80% portion of the book kind of felt like I was watching that Geico horror movie commercial that makes fun of the poor decisions of horror movie characters.

On a positive note, I did enjoy the ending and learning what these antagonists were really up to. That was a breath of fresh air from the never ending cat & mouse. Although, there were some random aspects to the conclusion that felt like an over-forced "twist" that just wasn't necessary.

I received a free copy via net galley of this book on exchange for an honest review.

This book was exhausting! The first 30% maybe - scared me, lol! Was like my worst nightmare coming true.

I found the middle part a little repetitive and slow and then things started to unravel. Loved the ending, not drawn out, summed everything up and I wasn’t left with unanswered questions.

This was the first book by this author I've read and I loved it! It was actually really creepy and tense and I couldn't put it down wondering what would happen next! A great plot and brilliant ending. Can't wait to read more from this author!

The Night Shift by new to me author Gemma Rogers, published by Boldwood Books, is a literally unputdownable read. I just wanted to take a peek, but hours later I read the last page, couldn't believe what I was reading, loved every minute.
An unputdonable pageeturner, a mystery/thriller of its finest, brilliantly written, twisty and full of unexpctd turns that had me guessing till the last page. I recommend the book, 5 stars.
