This thriller with a spicy twist is the definition of bingeable! Short chapters, keeps you guessing, twist after twist, and less than 350 pages. I audibly GASPED at a couple of the twists and the end was definitely a SHOCK. My only gripe is that I wanted a little more, there were some storylines/characters that seemed to be left hanging and would have really added to the story and main character. But overall I still thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend!

Note: there are some trigger warnings that may be difficult for some.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria for my advanced copy! Vi Keeland is becoming a quick favorite for her twisty, sexy thrillers!

I have been a huge Vi Keeland fan for years and I am loving the fact she has branched into new genres. I enjoyed this book very much and had a few surprises I was not expecting at all. Excited for others to read this book this summer.

Wow. Didn't know what to expect going in but I read this in one sitting. New fave for sure. I know Vi is new to this genre but she smashed it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really really enjoyed this one! It had me guessing until the end and while I guessed some of the twists, there was still a shocker or two! After loving The Unraveling, I knew I would love this one too and I'm so glad to be able to say I did. This was definitely a page turner and I loved how the chapters were structured with being in the present and having chapters from the book being written by a character.

Wow wow wow. She knocks it out of the park again.

I thought the beginning was a little slow but it picks up quick. Once it picks up, I couldn’t put it down. So many twists.

My one word for this book would be: engaging. I was so intrigued and excited to keep going. I will also say that I'm typically a person who is pretty good at guessing the end? And this one got me good. I had no idea!

English college professor gives students a creative writing assignment. Once they’ve turned in their first chapter she read one from the bunch that terrified her.

4.5 ⭐️This is the first thriller I’ve read by Vi Keeland and I loved it. This was so suspenseful I was at the edge of my seat. There were some parts of the story where I truly felt scared and worried for the characters. I will say I am a horrible guesser and truly didn’t see the ending coming. 😂

If you’re in the mood for a psychological thriller you may want to give this book a try. 🖤

I loved this so much! I binged the whole thing in one sitting and it literally had be mindblown by the end 🤯

4.25⭐️ {ARC}
(ARC review) — Thank you to author Vi Keeland and publisher Atria Books. I received an Advanced Reader Copy for the June 2025 release of SOMEONE KNOWS in exchange for my honest review.

I needed a distraction and I was hooked on this book right out of the gate. Gripping & Addictive. Good characters. Great twists. Big ending. I like being kept guessing, even more when you fool me!

You’ll hit points that are over the top but didn’t care cause you were just enjoying the twisty ride. Trust. No one. This one is perfect if you’re big on psychological thrillers with just a touch of romance. Definitely grab this one June 17th!!

Trigger ⚠️- may want to look up triggers on this one. There’s a ton.

I’m a big fan of Vi Keeland, and love that she’s branched out into a mystery, whodunit category! I found this book had just enough twists to keep me guessing right until the end. Highly recommend it to any fan of the author.

First I want to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book before publication.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect with this book. The cover and title drew me in and I was excited to read it. I ended up reading it all in less than 24 hours as I didn’t want to put it down. The book was written great and I loved every bit of it. However the only thing that I feel would make the book better would be the ending as it felt rushed. I would’ve like another chapter or so just to understand a little more since it felt like so much information was dropped so fast and I didn’t have time to process it all. However this book kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn’t want to put it down. So if you like mysteries I do have to recommend this one.

I simply tore through this thriller.

Elizabeth is a college creative writing professor teaching a summer seminar in New York City. She starts receiving chapters from a student outlining her dark past growing up in Louisiana.

This had the perfect equation of a thriller for me. Short chapters, fast paced and twisty! When I wasn’t reading this book, I was thinking about when I could read it next. I can’t believe this is the author’s first thriller!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC - all opinions are my own.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this thriller, except that I was going to get caught up in it and end up not knowing what was coming next. Elizabeth is a college professor, with a very interesting past. When she was in high school, there were issues with Jocelyn and one of their teachers. Leaving her hometown for New York, teaching was her main goal, as well as advancing in her chosen career. However, being an English teacher, a student submits a story that is eerily similar to Elizabeth's past. This sets Elizabeth on a journey to find out who knows her secrets, and what they are planning to do with them. Tons of twists and turns have you thinking one thing, and the story going in another. A must read for thriller lovers!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. This book will be released June 17, 2025.

I really enjoyed Someone Knows! It’s an excellent suspenseful and twisty thriller. I mean, that plot twist a little over halfway through was so UNEXPECTED even though a few little bread crumbs were there!! I did not see that coming!!! The twists and turns in this novel are top tier and the writing is fantastic. I had to keep turning the pages and get all the answers. I devoured this book in one sitting! I definitely recommend this one!

Wow!

This was my first book from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed. The beginning really grabbed my attention, and it continued to do so throughout the story. I was on edge while reading this.

I loved the dual timeline, which intertwined the present day with the emailed chapters from an anonymous person. As the chapters were dropped throughout the book, it became more thrilling and built a lot of suspense. There were also multiple twists that had me questioning everyone’s motives. You couldn’t trust anyone in this town. Even though it was a thrilling read, it was also very sad given the circumstances.

Overall, I thought this thriller was absolutely wild!

Thank you, Atriabooks and NetGalley, for this ARC.

Vi Keeland is known for her romance novels, but her shift into thrillers with Someone Knows is exciting. This book blends suspense with a touch of romance!
The story follows Elizabeth, a professor who begins receiving chapters of a book from a student-except the story is eerily familiar. It details events from her own teenage years, specifically the secret she shares with only two people about their senior year. The book reveals the truth about her friend's affair with a teacher and how they ultimately murdered him-something no one else should know. As Elizabeth returns to her hometown, the suspense intensifies, and she fears her secret will finally come to light.
While some twists were predictable, others genuinely caught me off guard. I love a good thriller, and Vi Keeland delivered a gripping, fast-paced story that kept me up all night reading! If you're a fan of her romance novels, you might enjoy how she blends her signature style with this darker, more suspenseful genre.

Thanks to Atria/Emily Bestler Books for the gifted ARC!

About the book: Elizabeth Davis teaches English at Pace University, where her creative writing seminar just started. One student's assignments catch her eye - because they contain WAY too many details about her past and a teacher who ended up dead.

My review: Okay, this one is honestly hard to review! I absolutely blew through it - it's such a page turner and had some great twists to keep the plot moving, much like Vi's last thriller, THE UNRAVELING. But it's definitely more sinister than what I usually read. There's an abusive relationship between a teacher and a student at the center, and since *someone knows* that the teacher ended up dead and a few too many details, the story pops back up 20 years later. The ending shook me, which is exactly what I want from a thriller, and I definitely recommend this if you like fast-paced thrillers with a romance element... just know that you should check the triggers on this one!

Quick, engaging mystery but it did not keep me on the edge of my seat like the author's (Vi Keeland) first thriller The Unraveling.

Trigger warnings: child abuse, sexual abuse, death, pedophilia.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC to review

First of all, this book was insanely bingeable and easy to read; I read it almost all in one evening and overall I enjoyed my time with it. But the ending fell really flat for me, I spent the whole book hoping that wasn’t what the big reveal would be so when it did I was kinda disappointed. Besides that though it was a good thriller, fast paced and entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down. Thank you netgalley for the early copy!!

If you're looking for a fast paced, gripping, easy read, then I highly suggest you pick this up! Right when I thought I had the plot twists figured out, something unexpected would happen. Vi Keeland leaves the readers wanting more.

Thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced digital copy!
