Relevant, terrifying and fascinating.

I absolutely adored the plot of this novel and the imagination of Angelo! So relevant and poses some very interesting questions about the internet, the effects of social media and the cost of 'fame'.

The characters are wonderfully vivid. Whether you love them or you hate them. They are sarcastic, moving and hilarious.

It just missed out of 5⭐ because the ending felt a little rushed to me and was wrapped up a bit too perfectly.

Explosive, unsettling and darkly funny debut perfect for fans of Black Mirror and The Circle novel.

Can you believe this was my first B A Paris novel? I know I must have been living in a cave or something! (I shall be sure to read her previous novels immediately!).

Domestic thriller at its finest! I only picked it up to read a few pages and I was hooked! The secrets and suspense kept me guessing until the end, I became totally immersed in the family dynamics - some of those twists I did not see coming.

This is a unique original thiller, totally gripping - perfect escapism to forget these long winter nights!

Villanelle is the perfect ruthless assassin, Eve Polastri is the women trying to stop her and she will stop at nothing now Villanelle has made it personal. This novel has a well balanced mix of action and character detail. The characters themselves were quirky and funny, I loved them both even though I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be rooting for an assassin, ever. It was split into four parts that were brilliant, fast paced and clever, the perfect quick read! It is definitely as good as the TV series, like any adaptation different but its definitely a fair reflection of the novel and the actresses bring the characters to life flawlessly. I can't wait to get stuck into the next book and TV series respectively.

Gripping, fast-paced and full of tension!

I loved the alternating point of view, two very different tales are being told of same events but who is telling the truth in this multi-layered tale? Both are unrealable narrators are manipulative and obsessive, maybe they are both lying? You'll have to read it and find out.

Full of twists and turns, this tangled plot keeps you guessing until the end.

Campbell has done it again another brilliantly plotted psychological thriller - this is her best yet! Perfect for fans of You.
