What She Did

I so enjoyed this book this author gets better with each book and I cried book is very twisty and addictive and I never seen that coming Beth thinks she has meet the man of her dreams or so she thinks Victoria has got loads of problems and Lydia likes to take control I wont say no more spoils for readers but a brilliant read with a twist you wont see coming book draws you in from start

This book had me hooked from the beginning. Many twists and turns. I really didn't expect the outcome. I look forward to reading more books from this author.

What She Did is a outstanding psychological thriller that is a must read for the year. I could not put it down. It had me hooked from the first chapter and it has some great twists. I must read more from this author.

This book kept my interest and me turning the pages to see what was happening next. I wasn't familiar with this author, but she has penned a suspenseful story. The character won't be long forgotten and I was still thinking about the book when I finished.

A lovely thriller to get your teeth stuck in.

I was excited to read this after the blurb and I enjoyed it a lot. The story was compelling and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

A good and fast paced psychological thriller. I really enjoyed the writers style and found this an easy read with some twists and thrills along the way x

I received this book from netgally in exchange for honest review.Sent
Great psychological thriller that kept me awake in to the early hours. Full of twists and turns and and ending i didn't see coming.

Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5***** amazing read couldn't put it down

What an amazing thriller! Absolutely loved the storyline and the heroes. The writer spins a beautiful tale abd draws you in slowly but surely.

Can you hear the scary music playing in the background or what? What She Did had me hooked right from page one with a whole host of unanswered questions meaning that I was compelled to keep reading to find out the answers!
The novel switches between the past and present lives of three women, Beth, Victoria and Lydia, the time changes might seem a little bit confusing to start with, but I promise you, stick with it, you will get into the rhythm and find that it all fits in perfectly to this storyline. And what it also does is to create a very real sense of suspense. Lots of little snippets of information are scattered about and they form together to provide a deeply dark and intense picture that worms its way underneath your skin!
And on the subject of intense, these three women were intense and then some! Each of them crawled into my head and refused to leave me. They enthralled me and creeped me out at the same time. I didn't know who to trust. I switched from feeling sorry for each of them to despising them all. At times I wanted to reach into the pages and pull them out of the nightmare they were living in and at others, I wanted to slam the pages shut and leave them trapped in there and out of my head.
Watching the lives of the three women collide in an exploration of control, abuse, lies and toxic relationships was like watching a car crash play out in front of my eyes and I was unable to stop looking no matter how disturbing it became. A perfectly executed plot and well-drawn characters made for a dark and twisted read! This was definitely a "keep you up well past your bedtime" kinda read! Don't miss it! It's brilliant!
My review will be on my blog as part of the blog tour.

Alex Kane is a new author to me, so I didn’t have any idea what to expect. I am very happy to have been given the chance by NetGalley to discover a fantastic author. It’s difficult to describe the story without giving too much away but it’s an excellent suspense thriller with a great plot. The last few chapters are amazing and so well written. At first I didn’t enjoy how the chapters were jumping between characters and past & present, but as the story unfolded it actually worked really well. What She Did is a great read and one of my favourites this year

Best friend and worst enemy.
I started this book as soon as I finished 'No Looking Back' As I finished that book I knew right away I needed to read more by this author.
A great writing style and a story that you are drawn into. A story that keeps you wanting to read on. There were parts of the book I wasn't keen on and parts of the book that I loved and needed to keep going with it.
Another good read overall and I look forward to reading more.

it's told from alternating points of view, going back and forth from past to present, and I have to be honest at times I got a little confuzzled and had to go back a bit.
There are some great twists and in parts it really does hook you and keep you turning those pages.

Thanks for the chance to read and review this book.

Although I agree that characters past and present - switching around - was a bit confusing, this was a great read. A little bit of everything for the suspense/thriller reader.

Three women, Beth, Victoria and Lydia are featured. They intermingle on some levels. Their husbands are either extremely controlling or cheating. Lydia, however, is controlling anyone she can.

The inside look at love, marriage, psychological abuse and heartache of both the past and present.

A good domestic suspense story!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

From the opening of the book it drew me straight in. It promised something very dark and boy did the author deliver.

The story alternates between three women flicking between past and present. The author skilfully plays with her readers minds, feeding us bits of information and glimpses of what is to come but not just quite what and I sure was not ready for how it all comes together at the end.

Beth and Victoria are women that due to their past have issues in their present life. They are both trying to move on with their lives and overcome their past fears but as we all know, life sure does throw a curve ball and wow what a curve ball.

As the story moves a long, it just gets darker and almost eerie. I had a feeling of trepidation that I just couldn’t shift and didn’t no why. When all become clear, well you could have knocked me over with a feather. I even had to go back and read a part again as my brain couldn’t quite comprehend what I had just read as I just hadn’t seen what was before my eyes, coming.

What She Did is a dark, at times disturbing but riveting read that I couldn’t devour quick enough. It’s definitely one of those, just one more chapter kind of reads that you won’t be able to put down. The story line left me feeling like someone had walked over my grave as it certainly will give you chills. What a great novel by the author, really enjoyed it and has to be my personal favourite of her books.

I really enjoyed this book. It was not what I was expecting at all, and kept me guessing throughout. I would highly recommend this book as the author handles a delicate subject honestly and diplomatically. I would definitely read another of her books.

One of the best books I've read year. Lots of twists and turns and the ending is one you will never be able to figure out. There are three main characters and each gives's last and present situations. The back and forth between them and also from last to present gets a little confusing at times but is well worth the effort.I highly recommend this book it is definitely 5 stars for me.

This book was such a thrill ride from the beginning - I was definitely anxious to find out what was coming next, and I did not see that ending coming!

The story is divided into three points of view, which take us through both past events and the present day. While that may sound like a lot, the author does a great job of tying everything together and slowly building up the tension to an amazing climax that really will take your breath away. There were points I even peeked ahead to see what was going to happen next in a particular storyline because I felt like I just couldn’t wait to see how it would play out.

The author also did a really good jump of really just showing all the emotions the main characters were going through; you could almost feel the anxiety of the main female characters, who are each dealing with some major issues in their lives. The emotions and situations felt very real and the way the story plays out is brilliant.

I don’t know what else to say without revealing too much, so suffice it to say that if you love suspense and female-driven stories, you will absolutely love this book! I highly recommend it!

I absolutely LOVED this book. Based around three women Beth, Lydia and Victoria all of whom have their own pasts and all of them trying to move on with their life. I didn’t favour one character over another and at first they are all very separate as you learn about each of their lives.

Before long their stories intertwine and slowly things begin to emerge. As the book progresses I found myself more and more drawn into the story and I ended up reading the last three quarters of the book in one sitting. There was a particular part of the story I totally didn’t see coming which threw me. This also had a quite dark side to it and made it seem quite sinister but I truth it just made the book even more engaging. A truly fantastic read and one of highly recommend

What She Did by Alex Kane's was a brilliant. book. I just Loved it. I was hooked from the first few pages and OMG what an explosive ending to this book! Wow I had to pick myself off of the floor.......Just Brilliant!

This book is a gripping, tense psychological thriller about three strong women, Victoria, Beth and Lydia. It flicks between the past and the present of these characters and each chapter is clearly named with their names so you don't get confused. Plus, its very cleverly written with short chapters which I love.

It's a dark and can be disturbing read about domestic violence and women are often found struggling in a world dominated by men.

I highly recommend this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author Alex Kane and Hera Books for the ARC of this book. This is my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Oh wow!! Alex Kane is a completely new writer to me, but when I saw that What She Did was set in my hometown of Glasgow I just jumped at the chance to read it, and boy am I happy that I did!! Alternating between three women, Beth, Victoria and Lydia, What She Did is a suspenseful tale of abuse, betrayal, fear and friendships.

Alex Kane presents a storyline carved out so intricately with a stream of twists and turns. They just keep coming. The eyes tend to deceive in this one. I mean, really deceive. The author haven’t just written a story, they have created a mind-bending, kaleidoscopic psychological suspense that will make you question everything you’ve read. Yes, it really is that good. I read so many psychological thrillers or mystery-suspense novels that my senses subconsciously pick up even the slightest of clues, I can normally tell how the book will end before the author does, but What She Did messed with my head so badly I was all over the place with this one.

The writing is solid and I sunk easily into the flow that moved along at a moderate pace. The characters were all well-developed and multi-layered, in fact they had so many layers they were like an onion, it took a lot of peeling to get to the mysterious heart of them. Short punchy chapters held my attention and made the storyline engrossing and addictive. What She Did was one of those books that once I started I refused to put down, and managed to read in one sitting.

5☆ A Chilling, Highly Compelling Psychological Thriller, I Couldn't Put Down!


What She Did is a chilling, psychological thriller that got under my skin and I loved it!!

This is my second book I have read by Alex Kane and her books keep getting better and better!

This is a story of three very different women. All hurt in their past, yet things spiral as the story weaves between them, from past to present and things start to become dark and a lil sinister!
Who can you Trust?

The three women are Beth, Victoria and Lydia.
All three are very very Complex Characters, bound together unknowingly.

Eek I so want to write about the plot, but if I do it might give things away and it's just way to good!

There are some sensitive subjects such as domestic violence, manipulation, grief, suicidal thoughts and adultry but Kane handles them with the right amount of sensitivity to still make an impact which is keeping in relevant to the story.

The chapters go from past to present each chapter in a different characters Point of View, but it flows perfectly.

What She Did is a dark and perfectly twisty and thrilling psychological thriller, that I devoured in one night I just couldn't put it down!
All the cleverly plotted connections/links are perfect some I really didn't see coming!, the back stories are chilling and at times a little disturbing.
I loved each Character in their own way, they were twisted, complex, desperately flawed and really well written.

Overall another Gem of a book by Alex Kane!

Would I recommend reading this Highly Compelling book..... Without a Doubt.... 100%..... Yes!

Alex Kane has become one of my favourite Authors!

Thank you to Book On The Bright Side Tours for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Oh my god not what I expected at all.
She was a bloody nutter!
I wouldn't want her anywhere near me.
Brilliantly scariest ever.
I honestly wouldn't want to read one like to much x

Another brilliant read by Alex , mandasue Heller fans will enjoy Alex's books and I look forward to the next one.

A great chilling thriller which made me questions actions of people I know and put me straight into panic mode. I never want to meet someone like that in real life!

This was a great read for me. It kept me guessing. I really enjoyed it and will be looking for more books by this author. This isn't what I usually read and I really love when I find a book outside of my "comfort zone" that intrigues me.

Three and a half star rating.
Three women, Beth, Victoria and Lydia, all with problematic histories, whose lives suddenly are on a collision course. It was engrossing from the start and for once I didn’t see what turned out to be the reveal. The ladies weren’t particularly enchanting, bossy, needy, naive and irritating in turns. Not a very long book, but works well that way. I liked how it was written and that the twist didn’t come too soon, which would have spoilt it, for me anyway.

In this book we meet three close friends, Beth, Victoria and Lydia. Each have such a profound influence on the other's lives, and that sets the tone of the whole book. All is however not what it seems, and I really, honestly, without a doubt, did NOT see the ending coming.... wow!

Read in about 4 hours...it was THAT gripping! I didn't want to put it down. The book has so many twists and turns, every time I thought I had it figured out I didn't! This psychological thriller weaves the lives of three women, Beth, Lydia, and Victoria. The story delves into the past and present of these three women's lives, as they live out domestic abuse and adultery in their marriages and relationships. It is a sinister tale that will leave you saying to yourself "Wait...what? Did I just read that right?" I even had to get a notebook and take notes!
#WhatSheDid #NetGalley

This is the first book that I have read by Alex Kane. This book was a twisty psychological thriller that I really enjoyed. The story is told by three different women. It is told by alternating between the past and the present.

The pace of the story is perfect and the characters easy to connect with. The ending is something that I did not see coming. If you are looking for a good thriller then I recommend this one!!

Wow! This was great. Had a hard time putting it down. Involves three woman in abusive situations. Goes back in forth in time flawlessly. Highly recommend. Thanks Netgalley for this arc. Really good read.

I absolutely LOVED this book. Based around three women Beth, Lydia and Victoria all of whom have their own pasts and all of them trying to move on with their life. I didn’t favour one character over another and at first they are all very separate as you learn about each of their lives.
