I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This one was only OK.. There’s not really anything I could say about it that was awful but there was nothing really great either. The description in the blurb is pretty much what the book is, not a lot of nuance or twist. Just an Ok nothing special hypnosis thriller. 2.5 stars round up.

Nick Drake desperately wants to get his life back on track and tries hypnosis, which he is skeptical about at first. He's terrified by what he sees as he closes his eyes. A man, a woman and a little girl. An horrific event. Past life or a reality of his? He's scared and trying to find answers.

Michelle Carlin is Nick’s girlfriend. She wants to stay with Nick but feels he is hiding something dangerous.
Caitlin Davis is still deeply affected by the disapppearance of her husband. Could she end up losing everything?

Three people. Long-buried secrets, lies and betrayals. will anyone escape unscathed?

When Your Eyes Close is an amazing thriller that had me hooked from beginning to end and I was drawn in by the alternating POV chapters and quickly-moving pace. The chapters were short, so I whizzed through the book in a matter of hours. I was swept along by the characters' lives and felt for what each of them had been through and eager to see where the story led. The book has so many twists and turns and I did not want it to end.

Thanks to Tanya Farrelly and Harper Collins for my ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review. The book is gripping and gets 5 stars from me. I'll definitely be looking out for more books by Tanya Ferrelly. Her writing style makes for an engrossing thriller.

Really enjoyed the premise of this book and the idea of living past lives. It may be a bit hard for other people to get their head around but I was able to suspend my belief on this and really got immersed in the story. I was really keen to find out what had happened to David and how Caitlyn would react to Nick's role in her past. A really good read that I finished in less than a day, which is definitely a measure of how much I enjoyed it.

When Your Eyes Close, an intriguing title that turns out to have many meanings and implications, is, at its core, a mystery well told. Strangers brought together by fate, it seems, are suddenly enmeshed in each other’s drama, with important details undiscovered until the dramatic conclusion.

While past life regression, an important element in the book, may be difficult to swallow for some readers (it turned me off to the book at the beginning), if you suspend disbelief and allow the story to wrap itself around you, insidiously, you will not be able to put this book down.

A thoroughly enjoyable read.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley..
