After a convenience store robbery goes wrong, the villains take a family hostage in their own home. Unfortunately, the family has secrets that will create a nightmare for all involved. The twist on the hostage drama started out good, but it fell apart in the end when it got completely unbelievable.

Really enjoyed this book. It had a good flow to it and the switches between the three main characters was done well. It was an easy read and from the start I was intrigued to find out how the story was going to play out and how the main characters stories were going to join up. When they do, it doesn't disappoint and the twist made me gasp!!

Much better than the film
Having read this and the alternate version of twilight I can definitely say both are better than the film. The character description and story flow are much smoother and in depth. Not the best writing mind you but a lot better than some and it's a new twist on an old tale.
Really enjoyable book with some pretty memorable scenes and one liners.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I thought these book was great! I really enjoyed Sukey and her friendship with Vicky.

The description of the bloviatibg Jennifer in the beginning was really great stuff.

The mystery was pretty solid with a twist that you would have to be paying pretty close attention to get.

I really loved this book!

Who do you trust?
I really enjoyed this first season, the characters and acting was fantastic. The writing was brilliant, you don't know who to trust and you are drip fed information.

The new season has just started and highly recommend catching up with this first season as the from the trailers season 2 looks like it could be amazing.

I generally find thrillers slightly disappointing and somewhat predictable but I found Before I Go To Sleep an enjoyable exception.

It is a creative, innovative plot and you are really drawn into Christine's world living day by day with her.

I found the ending built in suspense spectacularly and found the novel as a whole compelling.

 A good page-turner, intelligently written with a good twist at the end.
