Elizabeth is shocked when reading her student’s essays. Why? Well, because one of them seems to be the story of her early life. A life that she left in the rearview mirror.
The things that this person knows… Let’s just say unless Elizabeth has a split personality and is writing this herself, someone knows about her past
She goes home to Minton Parish. A place she swore she would never return to. But she has to find out who knows her biggest secret. That is all I’m going to divulge about the plot.
I read my first book by this author, The Unraveling, and it was the first thriller mixed with romance that I ever enjoyed. I thought I had this book worked out, but of course there was a final twist that changed everything.
This publishes in June, and in my opinion, it would make a very good beach read.

I received this ARC from netgalley for a honest review.

Vi keeland I have loved her books over the years both romance and smut. When I saw this book cover on netgalley I knew I immediately had to review this book, and was so happy when I was approved.

The main character is a professor and she starts to receive chapters off who she thinks is a student and as she begins to read each chapter. She realises she knows the events of the story because she has lived them. She heads back to her home town to find answers to whom the sender is. With lots of twists and turns throughout. And the ending I didn't see coming at all. Great story flowed brilliantly and kept you hooked from the start

5 stars 🌟

I will definitely be recommending this book to the members of the plot thickens book club group on facebook.

Vi writing suspense is my new favorite! I need a follow up to this story. I can imagine how your brain would be exhausted reading book a book two wondering “why”.

This book hooked me from the beginning, it was a fun read. I enjoyed the storyline and characters, the fast pace, and how short the book was. This was my first read by this author but won’t be my last.

• Vi Keeland’s latest is out of this world amazing and my head is still spinning!!!!
😳🤯🫨

•Elizabeth, an English professor, is enjoying reading her students’ essays until she stumbles upon one titled The Reckoning. Initially intrigued by the title, she quickly realizes this is not just any story, but the story of her sordid past.

•I couldn’t put this book down. It was captivating and I truly couldn’t get enough. It will become available on June 17, 2025. Thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Vi Keeland for this ARC

3.5 Stars
I would say one of my best qualities is that I am not easily influenced. So, I am confused at the bewilderment I am feeling right now. This is the second time this author has managed to garner complete control over my mind, leading me to believe whatever she wants.
Let the mind games begin.
It took me longer to figure out who was responsible for the haunting things that happened in this story than it did with her first book in the genre.
The first book had me assuming, changing my mind, reevaluating my assumptions and then having my mind completely blown, not once, not twice but three times.
With this story I had read well over half of the novel until I had a little inkling as to what the truth really was. Who it was who could have demonized the lead character in their own unique, chilling, and compelling way.
Hooray for me, I had it all figured out and a glimmer of hope for the lead character brought a sense of closure, until it did not.
Once again, Vi Keeland has spread her wings and has written an intensely twisted story which I found impossible to figure out.
Her brilliant ability to create well-rounded, intriguing, and realistic characters shines brightly in this story along with her creative talent for knowing when to lay low and when to strike with the unexpected.
I would be remiss if I did not mention her extreme talent at providing descriptions of locations that burst open before my eyes with brilliant, vivid colors and details.
From constantly feeling a slight edge of what’s next, to being lulled into the different scenarios of sexual situations, some harsh, some tempting and some downright dirty, all underlined with vision of the church, confessions, and sins, your mind will be spinning with what ifs.
Someone Knows is a well thought out, intriguing and enticing story. One that had me hooked, shocked, and blindsided by the ending.
I truly hope that Vi continues to thrill us with many more books in the genre. She is a force to be reckoned with and I cannot wait to get my hands on her next release.

I missed way too much sleep last night staying up in the middle of the night reading this. I could not put it down and needed to find out what happened. Someone Knows is dark and twisted with tons of suspense. There are some pretty big trigger warnings so please check before starting. The ending caught me so off guard, I had to read it twice to make sure. One of my favorite thrillers that I've read this year so far!

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books | Atria/Emily Bestler Books for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

While I haven't read anything from this author before, I am going to go back and read through her catalogue. I really enjoyed the unreliable narrator, as well as the marrying of the past and present. This felt like the perfect mix of family drama as well as thriller.

Wow. This book was tense and suspenseful. Full of emotions and mystery. There are so many twists and surprises right to the very end. Someone Knows is a fantastic thriller. I really enjoyed this book.

This was gripping form the start. It was well written, the characters were well developed. I highly recommend.

Vi Keeland has written another unputdownable thriller! I read The Unraveling last year and I still think about it, so when I saw this one on Netgalley I had to request it!
Someone Knows is about college English professor, Elizabeth. While teaching a creative writing class, she gets a submission that sounds too much like her own personal experience. An experience from high school where she kills her high school teacher after he sexually manipulates and abuses her best friend.
The writing and the quick chapters had me hooked. I was not sure who to trust. There were so many twists in this story. I really thought I figured it out, but Keeland kept throwing out surprises.
loved Someone Knows! I hope Keeland keeps writing thrillers because she is a master of
suspense. Thank you to Netgalley, Vi Keeland, and Atria Books for this ARC. Someone Knows will be available in the US on June 17th.
Trust me, you don't want to miss this one!

Wow!!! I have come to love Vi Keeland and her suspense/thrillers!!! I didn’t see that ending coming for sure, this was a great read! Kept me turning the pages!! 4 stars!!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this early copy!

I loved this book! The characters were amazing, I loved the setting changes between New York and Louisiana. I loved the mysterious aspect of it and that it was thrilling but also included some romance! This read was fast-paced and interesting! This is definitely a must read for fans of domestic thrillers! Highly recommend!

Wow! This read was fire! The plot twists. The suspects. The angst. The questions. The manuscript. The letter. Gah! So much here to dissect. In this latest read, professor Elizabeth is teaching a writing class and receives some stranger first draft chapter from a student. The content of the chapters hits a little too close to home for this professor. Meanwhile, her estranged mother is suffering from an illness that brings Elizabeth back home. All the feels. All the questions. All the unknowns from forgotten moments and new discoveries will keep readers turning pages and devouring this read.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley!!!

Someone knows is an espectacular novel. It's packed with unexpected and twisted plot twists that you definitely don't see coming. From the very beginning, I immediately connected with the protagonist; I empathized with her deeply and found myself going a little crazy alongside her.

The story is incredibly addictive and never loses momentum. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly making you question everyone and everything around you.

What I love most is how the author masterfully uses psychological games to manipulate the reader into believing one thing and then presenting completely outrageous hypotheses. It's a thrilling experience from start to finish!

This was a fun thriller with a lot of twists. A few I saw coming, but there were definitely some surprises. Great book for fans of the teacher.

This book grabbed my attention immediately. The twists were so good. The ending of the book had my mouth dropping.
Vi Keeland didn’t disappoint with this thriller.

If you’re in the mood for a fast paced, gripping thriller, with just a sprinkle of unbelievability then this would be it. Someone. Knows tells the story of Elizabeth. She’s currently an English professor in New York City whose past comes back to haunt her. One of her students submits the beginnings of a novel for their creative writing class that very closely resembles Elizabeth’s childhood. Who is the student and what is it that she knows? Elizabeth makes the trek to Louisiana to find out

This book definitely had me turning pages. It moved just slow enough for me to continuously want more. The pacing was perfect. As an example, Elizabeth receives a note and as opposed to reading that note right away, she discards it for later. I just wanted to know what was in the note. It was those kind of things that kept making me want to read more. There is a little bit of suspending your disbelief, but not to the point of unbelievable, which is great, especially in this genre.

I would definitely recommend this and look forward to reading more from this author.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

Wow! Wow! Wow! This may very well be my favorite book I've read so far this year! I've always been a fan of the author but this book was something very different.

I was hooked the minute I read the blurb, and knew I had to read it ASAP! And I wasn't disappointed, it even exceeded my expectations by so much.

Once I started reading, I found it impossible to put it down. I was kept on the edge of my seat right up to the end. And OMG! That ending I never saw coming!

I’ve read a lot of Vi Keeland books and was excited that she started writing thrillers, which is my favorite genre. This book did not disappoint. Kept me engaged through the entire book. I did figure out one of the twists, but that did not take away from how much I enjoyed the book. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC.
