Thank You NetGalley and HarperCollins Uk One More Chapter
I just reviewed After the Party by Georgina Lees. #NetGalley

This was such a mysterious story, I had no idea what had happened and who by.

It was a brilliant story of different characters which I didn’t particularly enjoy reading about but that just added to the mystery.

A brilliant ending and one which I never would have guessed. Fantastic. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for the ARC and chance to review.

I’d highly recommend this book. It’s a fabulous psychological thriller. The writing is excellent and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing. The characters develop well during the book and are dislikable but relatable.

You don’t have to like the characters to love the book. Well written and lots of avenues and threads that lead back in each other. Really enjoyed it and thought it would be a great film. Great characters but I didn’t like them. 😀

Superb psychological thriller! One heck of a plot! Right from the prologue its intriguing, as I just couldn't forsee what direction it was going to take and as the suspense builds, its got to be something devastating and gripping. The drama is non stop and there are plenty of surprises as events dramatically unfold. I loved Lizzie's naivety and I gasped aloud at the end. Georgina Lees is definitely one of my favourite authors. Highly recommended.

This one hit all the right spots! I was captivated throughout - a truly stunning read. highly recommended!

I found this book addictive and compelling. Every time I set it down I found myself wondering WTF happened to Rebecca. Did Lizzy know more than she was saying?

Gahhhh, I was so invested!!

One of the better books I've read this year. I can't recommend enough.

Thank you to the publisher for gifting me a copy. It is my pleasure to write an honest review.

Yeah, I was DEFINITELY not expecting that.

First and foremost, I didn’t want to stop reading. It was so hard to put down! I just wanted to know what happened to Rebecca. At first, I did suspect what happened, but otherwise, the ending was a complete shock. Without spoilers, I wasn’t expecting Lizzie’s life to end up the way it did!

Truthfully, most of the characters were extremely unlikeable. Marie was rude, Lizzie was naive and obsessive, Lizzie’s mom was obsessive, and Dean was a liar. What a bunch! However, it was still so entertaining! The writing was great. I could truly picture the settings, like a movie was playing as I read.

I would most definitely recommend this book! Definitely a great psychological thriller!

Great plot line. Really enjoyable. Great twist and turns to keep you engaged.
Will recommend to many

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this author.
I was a little confused in the beginning which character was talking and what the main character's name was as it wasn't initially clear. However I soon got into this story and three quarters of the way through I was still wondering if a murder had been committed. I still am.

At times I thought Lizzie was going to get into hot water with her investigations and even to a point where I thought surely she can't trust her neighbour she's too nice, what is she hiding.

Her undying love for Dean never wavers though clearly it should.

You never hear much from her dad, her mum being the pivotal person in her life who seemingly acts irrationally several times throughout.

At 60% into the book, yes I was reading on a kindle, I couldn't put it down, so keen to know where the missing character was and why still no murder. The story raced along but with no clear clues or motive it kept me gripped for hours whilst I tried to find out more.
The ending left me with more questions than answers, characters I didn't expect to be instrumental to the missing character and Lizzie to my mind with the wrong person.
This book left me with unfinished endings which made a refreshing change to a story being neatly tied up.
The ultimate question is "How far would you go to protect your family"?

Wow just wow. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop. I wasn’t expecting to like this book as much as I did.

I was captivated from start to finish. The storyline was very well written and the characters I really enjoyed reading about. So engaging and such a good read.

Full of twists and turns and keeps you wanting to turn the page. I loved this book and it kept me wanting more. I look forward to what the author next brings out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my arc in exchange of an honest review.

I really, really enjoyed this book! It was captivating and it hooked me from the very first chapter! I was glued to my seat!

A book full of suspense with the plot. Including the twists.
Characters that's are keeping secrets,acting very strange! They made the reader want to no more it was so inviting to read and not put down.

One More Chapter,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review to my platforms, blog, B&N and Waterstone closer to pub date.

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

This one was really enjoyable. A wide range of realistic, complicated characters with well-motivated actions and plot-turns. Twists are unexpected without being unbelievable. A solid thriller

Desolate, Foreboding…
With a heavy and almost desolate sense of foreboding from the off, mirroring the feelings of Lizzie, a frustrated artist in love with one of her work colleagues but not with her work. Dean seemingly knows nothing of Lizzie’s feelings for him. There are others in the workplace, however, that do. When Rebecca, another colleague, goes missing following the works Christmas party a catalogue of tragic events is let loose. A compelling tale with an immersive and atmospheric plot and narrative and with a well crafted cast of characters. A one sit read which is never as predictable as you may at first imagine.

Fast pace thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire book. Everyone will recognize the characters from their life and the plot is incredibly interesting and picked up from the start of the novel.

After the Party by G. Lees, published by Harper Collins UK/ One More Chapter, is a book that stays with you. I literally just finished the book and I can't even say how the story threw me. A thriller of it's finest, a story that quietly, sneakily grows on you, then grips you with both hands and doesn't let you go anymore.
Twisty full of unexpected turns gives all the feels books like this are the best reads ever. I loved connecting with the characters, sitting on the edge of my seat reading this unputdownable book.

Lizzie has been in love with Dean for years, but he has never tried to take things further with her. Then one day, at the office party, he tells her that he is in love with her friend Rebecca. Lizzie goes home upset, and is shocked afterwards to find out that Rebecca went missing after the party. What happened to her?

A thrilling read that keeps you turning the pages and guessing until the end. A good range of characters and you are kept wondering how each of them could be involved. Recommended!
