pickRecommend if you like twists and turns and an unexpected ending!
“When Ella Longfield overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train, she thinks nothing of it—until she realises they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. But just as she‘s decided to call for help, something stops her. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls—beautiful, green-eyed Anna Ballard—has disappeared.” #thriller #audiobooksrock #mystery #guilt #danger
so-soI am trying to read books that have been on my Kindle for years, so pulled up this one. Ella, a florist from Devon, is on a train to London when she notices 2 young girls talking to some older guys. When she finds out a few days later that one of the girls is missing, she is wracked with guilt for not saying anything. This was an interesting premise, but the reveal of who took the girl was fairly lackluster, almost out of left field. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickWhen I started this audible at first I wasn‘t for sure I would be into this book. It took a little bit to get use to the narrator. But, as the story went on there where shocking turns to the story. Different characters had an important part that related to the story. The story keeps drawing you in. It all came around to the end with a heartfelt ending. 😢
Oh my gosh!! @Endowarrior21 you completely spoiled me! I love everything so much from both books, to the art prints, lots of bath bombs, candy, lemonade, the windchime kit, notebook, sticky notes,, and necklace! You truly went above and beyond and I'm so blown away and grateful. No need to send me more lemonade as you already gave me so much! I love it!!! Thank YOU!

My new favorite author. I absolutely love psychological thrillers.
so-soI was not a big fan of this book. I felt as if the author didn‘t have any idea of what she wanted the story to be and was just gradually piecing her ideas together.
There were a lot of characters that I felt were unnecessary to the entire story and I felt that it could have been better without them.
The bases of the story would have been good if the author would have spent more time on the actual details instead of creating new characters.
⭐️⭐️
On to the next 😊 reading this with a couple of coworkers. They had a couple days head start cause they said it was only fair since I read too fast for them 😂
pickElla observes two teenage girls flirting with two young men fresh out of prison. She contemplates warning the girls‘ parents and decides against it. The next day one of the girls goes missing. A year later, the disappearance has not been solved. As tensions run high, everyone affected has secrets they can no longer hide. #MountTBR
pickThis was an enjoyable mystery/thriller. I had great sympathy for some of the flawed characters. I did not guess the ending. I listened to the audio version and the narrator was really pleasant. Then again, I just find British accents to be soothing no matter the topic.
And of course I already had my next one picked out and ready to go. A thriller that looks promising. 🤓📖
so-soIt's a fast read, the organization of the chapters keeps you interested, you want to know who did what. I really liked how Teresa Driscoll describes how the family is impacted by this disappearance, by the inquiry, and also by the media.
However, I didn't find the story realistic... I thought it was a little too much (convicts, sexual abuse, suicide attempt, pregnant teen, etc.) And of course the end was a big disappointment...
pickBrilliantly written, I loved this, plenty of twists and turns.. 😊
pickNice read - told from the perspective of several characters - couldn‘t figure out who “did it” so decent twist at the end
pickI love love loved it. The end should‘ve been hinted at more throughout in my opinion, but thoroughly entertaining read.
So this one was free on kindle and seemed interesting. I thought it'd be good to listen to while cooking and doing dishes and whatnot. And it was, but it left me a little disappointed. I'm not sure why. Each chapter ended in such a way that I HAD to know what was next but then felt like the payoff never really matched the buildup. Oh well. It was a fun distraction during chores!
pickBook received from @Q84 #CozySwap I enjoyed this book. You will know what happened mostly through character's interviews made by the police or investigators. Some parts reminded me the novel You. Many secrets will be revealed. I can't say much because in that first chapter the suspense starts. The end was ok but still I enjoyed the novel very much. 3.85⭐️Last tea bag received also from @Q84 so spicy and delicious😋
pickI Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll is an intense tale centering around the disappearance of a young woman and told through the eyes of various characters that were involved. If you‘re looking for a thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the very end, then this is a book for you!

so-soThis book was kind of slow. I found my self skipping sections to try and get to a better part. The ending was interesting though, never expected it.
so-soNot a bad book, but not a great one, either. I typically enjoy books with multiple POV, but it didn't work for me this time. The shifts in perspective were abrupt and jarring. Also, the characters seemed pretty flat to me, and several of them were just plain annoying.
I was interested enough to keep reading, so it's not a complete pan; but I doubt it will have a lasting impression on me.
pickI really enjoyed this book! So many points of view with so many pieces to the puzzle that you are constantly trying to put together only to be dead wrong.
pickIt's been a long time since I've read any kind of thriller, but I really enjoyed this one. The twist at the end was believable, and it was a very quick read.
"How she hasn‘t told the police the truth about what happened with Anna in the club. And she hasn‘t told anyone about the text from her dad that night."
Whattttttt!!! ????
Reading at the Doctor. Today is my last set of corticosteroid injections before I'm referred to a surgeon for a sacroiliac fusion.
I have scoliosis & sacroiliac joint dysfunction. I have been getting injections for years but over time they work less & less. So now we have exhausted all treatments options. Believe me, I've tried them all. Chronic pain is no joke. Everyday I am in pain, everyday is a struggle to do the simplest of tasks. ⬇️ (More)
panI almost did not finish reading this book. The majority of it was boring and stale, but I kept reading because the author strategically placed enough hints throughout to want you to keep reading. You couldn‘t actually GUESS what was going to happen..the hints weren‘t enough. But would I recommend this book as a thriller? No
I lied about man in the high castle and decided to get something quick and easy out of the way. I‘m wishing I didn‘t... Currently struggling to get through this book 😔
pickI enjoyed it. I was surprised with the ending and it‘s free on kindle unlimited.
pickSolid mystery, I guessed the ending but not until very close to the end. I listened on audio and really enjoyed the narrator. Went back and forth between a pick and so-so, but the pacing and character development pushed me to a pick!
Quite a bit of #audiobooking to day while I clean house, refinish a bookcase, and walk the dog. Nearly finished with this one, very suspenseful! #24in48 #24byMonday @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid @24in48

pickWhen I first started this, I found the ultra formal tone of the first narrator really annoying (even though it was part of the character development) and almost set it aside for another day. I pushed on, and found myself pleasantly surprised. I liked the differing perspectives, the plot was fresh and intriguing, and I didn't guess the ending! Score! I'd definitely read more by this author.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.⭐️I really enjoyed this one! It kept me guessing and I was definitely surprised! It‘s available on kindle unlimited right now as well for those who subscribe!!
pickReally good suspenseful book. Lots of twists. Could not figure out who did it. A girl disappears and the witnesses who seen her last is getting weird postcards. I give it 4 stars.
Me when I realize amazon prime offers more free books for kindle apps. I mean at least they don‘t take up space on my shelf that I don‘t have 🤷♀️
pickThe story was heart wrenching and kept me guessing the entire duration of the book. Definitely a page turner. It took me a while to really start getting into the book though. I believe that may be due to the lack of character development. Anna and Sarah seem to be the most under developed. I continued to mix the two of them up. “is it Anna or Sarah that is missing again?🤔”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1. Hippo (favorite animal) and let me say ET was going to be mine until I saw what it was 😡

3. Mystery/thriller (tagged)
4. Probably 2 weeks ago for breakfast

pickA great suspense novel about a missing girl told in three perspectives: the friend, the witness, the father.
Ella is on a train & witnesses 2 girls flirting with 2 young men who were recently released from prison. After ignoring her maternal instincts to contact the girls‘ parents, Ella finds out the next morning that one of the girls, Anna, has gone missing.
Someone knows where Anna is, but who is it?
Just started this now 🙏🏼 it sounds interesting. Intro is a little clunky so far, but maybe it‘ll pick up. It‘s hit or miss with Kindle Unlimited 😂
so-soThis book was okay. I was disappointed in the ending because I didn‘t feel that the author gave enough clues to the identity of the perpetrator. Part of the thrill of a thriller for me is to look back and see all the clues I missed. There is certainly a lot going on. Everyone has a secret. I‘m not sorry I read it but am rethinking my plan to read Driscoll‘s “The Friend” next.
pick4 stars.
I listened to this book in two days. I enjoyed it a lot. I was guessing the whole time, what the heck happened & who done it, but I never had it right. The betrayal in this book was shocking and sad to me.
pickWhat an excellent plot twist! I really enjoyed that there were characters who were endearing, those that annoyed me, those who were peripheral enough to not take up too much space but still played a role. Driscoll has a wonderful talent for developing the appropriate characters in the right ways to keep a story interesting, give it some plausible emotion, and distract her reader in the right places. Loved it!
I Am Watching You is a Crime Thriller. Go home, Goodreads Recommendations. You're drunk.
Unless Cow, Pig, and Duck brutally murder Mrs. Wishy-Washy and attempt to cover it up. Then sign me up.🐄🗡🐖🔧🦆💉⚰
so-soI was really looking forward to this but it left me feeling disappointed. The premise was a good one but parts of the book were repetitive and the characters unlikeable. Meh.
