Boy, does Watching You start out with the most delicious bang…a dead body!!! When I was 16 years old I had a crush on the man I babysat for so I for sure can relate to being infatuated with an older man…I just wasn’t obsessed. I enjoyed the police interview and am hoping that it continues on throughout the book…and am sure that it must. I have read several of Lisa Jewell’s books and she has never disappointed me. I want to know what happens soooo bad!

Thank you, Atria and Netgalley for allowing me to read the first 4-chapters of Lisa Jewell’s, Watching You.

Lisa Jewell's ability to grab her readers from the very first page is phenomenal and her newest release Watching You does just that . This book will suck you in and keep you turning pages.
Thanks to the Author, publisher ( Atria Books ) and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an excerpt of this exciting mystery thriller.
I can't wait to read the whole thing. Pre-Ordering it now =)

This is a 4 chapter excerpt that looks like a terrific book! Lisa Jewell is one of my favorite authors and haven't been disappointed yet. I'm excited for this read!

It starts with a finding of a dead body, the identity a mystery. Right from the start, it's packed of action that wants you to keep turning the pages. From what we could read in the first chapters, it looks promising and I'm looking forward to what's going to happen next. I have been approved for the whole book here on NetGalley so my review will be posted on Instagram and Goodreads once I am finished reading. I've included the links to my profiles.

This is an excerpt, so this review is based on the first few chapters. I cannot wait to read the rest of the book. This one is suspenseful and intense. It’s one of those books you can’t put down until the end. It’s filled with twists and turns you won’t see coming! I highly recommend this book. The ARC of this excerpt was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars!

A tense, secretive and twisty story that had me guessing until the end.

This is my third Lisa Jewell book and she continues to impress me. I love how addictive, fast paced and gripping her novels are. I just can’t seem to put them down once I start the first chapter. Her storylines are current, suspenseful and highly intriguing.

There are several characters in this book, all are well developed with perfectly timed introductions, leaving no room for confusion. The plot largely focuses on Josephine (Joey) Mullen who lives with her new husband in her brother and sister-in-laws’ house in a well-respected neighbourhood. They are trying to find steady jobs and get settled before finding a place of their own. We meet several of their neighbours, with chapters alternating between many of their perspectives. Each perspective brought a new layer of suspense and allure, each with a hint of secrecy that could possibly connect the intricate pieces of this puzzle together. The title says it all – “Watching You” – this applies to many scenarios throughout this fast paced and highly addictive novel.

This was a Traveling Sister read that was a hit for everyone! I recommend getting your hands on a copy of this title along with any others you can find by this author. I look forward to reading more from her.

Thank you to NetGalley, Atria and Lisa Jewell for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Expected Date of Publication: December 26, 2018.

A row of colorful houses in Melvin Heights where wealthy career oriented couples live. An unexpected murder takes place in one of the colored homes. An investigation ensues.

I received a sample of this book from NetGalley. The sample was brief and really hard to pinpoint which direction I want to go. It sounds promising. I’m not sure about the wordiness of the writing. I’m not sure about the delivery of information. It’s hard to decipher this early on if this very be a page turner.

I was provided an excerpt for Watching You, so I have not read the novel in entirety yet. Based on the first few chapters, I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the book. Lisa Jewell has delivered another page-turning thriller that had me hooked in just a few short chapters.

I will update my review once I read the entire book.

Thank you to the publisher @atriabooks and @netgalley for an advance reader copy of this amazing book ! Although it started a bit slow , and it was hard keeping track of the many narratives and the various characters at first, once it got going, I couldn’t put it down

Reading this preview was like watching a trailer for a new released movie. You can only guess what is going on in there. Great.

I loved the first four chapters. Hooked from page one and looking forward to reading the book in its entirety! (Hoping to receive an ARC of the book as have a feeling this one will be on my Top 50 Books of 2018). Love Lisa Jewell's writing style - she knows how to grab you and hold you. Thus far am reminded of A. J. Finn's The Woman in the Window which I loved!

I'm relatively new to Lisa Jewell as an author, having recently read Then She Was Gone. My goodness can she tell a story. I was so sad when I finished this excerpt because I wanted to know what happened next! Can't wait for this release.

Psychologica suspense with twists and surprises in a picturesque setting. The ending was unexpected. Exceptional writing. Great read.
