This reminded me of the book/show "You," as it has that creepy, stalker vibe to it. The story is a reminder that we truly don't know the people we "meet" on social media and the need for caution with what we share and whom we trust. It's told from Taylor's POV, as well as the stalker's. It lagged a bit more than I would've liked, and the characters weren't as developed as I expected, but it was still a solid suspense. I found the ending to be too abrupt and a bit sloppy compared to the rest of the story.

Taylor, who is pregnant, and her husband have moved to London from California and so Taylor joins a walking group and a book club in an effort to make new friends. Her husband is often away for lengthy stretches for work. Their relationship is healing from an affair that Jake had. Her new found friends include Simon, Caroline, Anna and Sarah. But one of them knows a lot about Taylor, much more than Taylor could ever suspect. The plot takes the reader on a creepy trail and keeps the tension tight right from the first page. I devoured this book in a couple of nights. While I had the mystery figured out before the climax I still wanted to find out how it would all pan out. The ending was a little disappointing for me in being too neat to be realistic but well done to the author in keeping me in suspense for most of the book.

This book lays out why putting your daily life on social media can come back to bite you. People often don't think much about putting their daily events out there for anyone to read. And sometimes that person can be a stalker who do not have your best interests in mind. Such is the plot of this wonderful book. Be careful what you put out there, folks.

Well....that was fun!

Taylor Watson is a retired Delta flight attendant who has just relocated from Santa Monica, Ca to London, with her often traveling husband, Jake. Pregnant, and lonely, she joins a 'walking group" and meets Simon and Anna.

Shortly thereafter, she's invited to join a "book club" hosted by her neighbor, Sarah, and her friend Caroline.

As, Taylor's narrative opens, we learn that she is recounting HER STORY to us...…

BUT then the narrative changes, to the voice of a "mystery narrator"...
"I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" (You think you're so discreet, don't you?)

Returning to our main protagonist, Taylor, we continue to learn more about her new life and blossoming friendships.

BUT single chapter "revelations" from our "mystery narrator" interspersed sporadically become more personal, and more menacing...

"I KNOW WHAT YOU READ" (and we're actually friends on GoodReads)

Someone is being stalked.
Someone is the stalker.

And, ANY of the five characters could be either one.

Each character was a master of "barbed comments" AND the more subtle " innuendos", causing me to revise my "guess" every few chapters.

Cleverly written, I was completely engaged in the story from page one!

If you enjoy books that use "social media" accounts as the "weapons" they can be, and psychological thrillers with plenty of viable suspects...….mark your calendars for the U.S. release date of this book-June 11, 2019!

I would like to thank NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books, and Annabel Kantaria for the digital ARC I received in exchange for a candid review!

I look forward to reading more from this author!

A completely twisted thriller that makes you second guess new people in your life. The story was interesting and the characters engaging but Taylor’s character should not have been from California. She spoke using very British slang and phrases which made it hard to believe that she came from California. Otherwise a good read.

I’m giving this book 4 stars based on the build up and the intriguing ideas it had. It really makes you think about social media and the implications of posting everything about your life online.
I liked the twist in the last third of the book. The characters were OK, although I didn’t really connect with any of them.
But the ending... I was not a fan. I felt like down. The build up was amazing, I thought it was going to have an explosive conclusion. But instead everything... just... ended. Really disappointed.
I won’t let this stop me from reading her other books though, as the tension building was amazing.

I received an ARC through Netgalley and all opinions in this review are my own.

Bravo to this creatively written mystery! The author deserves all five stars I have given for this doozy of thriller.

Taylor is a lonely, pregnant, recently relocated wife, who has found herself re-homed in London. On the advice of her always traveling husband, she joins a walking group to meet some friends. She quickly takes to another young pregnant woman named Anna. They soon hit it off and even join a neighborhood book club together. As the story unfolds, it is stunning to read all of the red herrings that the author so brilliantly placed throughout the plot. The character development, as well as the deception that is hidden amongst the most obvious places, engages the reader and really kept me feverishly turning the pages trying to get to the last sentence because I needed to know how it ended up!
This book is well written and has very topical content. Anyone who is lucky enough to read this will surely experience the pulse racing drama that leads to the ultimate discovery.
Author Annabel Kantaria wrote this book. with the intention of misleading her readers. She couldn’t make it too easy to figure out because she “ knows you”, and she will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Someone is always watching. Nowadays, being tirelessly active on social media makes it very easy to become a cyberstalking victim. People often feel flattered to be "popular" person around their cyber "friends" that they do not notice how close the danger has come. And the best example is provided to us in Annabel Kantaria's new novel "I Know You".

When Taylor moves with her husband Jack to the suburbs of London from sunny California, her only friends are Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. After being mocked by her husband, Taylor decides to join local groups to find new friends. And this is the way she meets her new mates: Anna, Caroline, Sarah, and Simon. As Taylor gets to know each of her new friends, she also finds out their personal secrets. How well do you think you know people you call your friends... and family?

I Know You is a fast read novel that will keep you on your toes. The mystery of the book hits the reader from the very first pages, it grips your attention and does not disappoint, as with every new chapter new details come emerging that glue you to the pages of the book till the very end. And what a tremendous ending it is! Thank you, NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books publisher for an advanced free copy of the book, and Annabel Kantaria for a phenomenal phycological thriller.

This is one of the best books I have read all year! It has all the elements of a good psychological mystery. I felt that the tension built at just the right place and there is a lot of misdirection. I have re read other reviews that complained about the ending, but in my opinion it wrapped everything up nicely. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC for my honest review.

I couldn't stop reading I Know You and at the same time, I did not want it to end! My heart was racing the whole time and I kept trying to guess who the stalker was. Even after the target of the stalker was revealed, I still couldn't figure out who the stalker was from the remaining four characters. And even when the stalker was revealed, my guess to the stalker's motivation was totally wrong. By the time I reached the end, I was mentally exhausted but in the best way! As I reflected on the end, I realized that Annabel Kantaria had sprinkled clues to the identity of the stalker and his/her motivations throughout the book but those clues were so clever and subtle that I hadn't been able to piece them together! I thought the stalker's "weapon" of social media was brilliant. As someone who uses Instagram regularly, it totally freaked me out to think of how someone can ruin another person's life by simply following their every post.

I really enjoyed this book! Annabel Kantaria created a thrilling, creepy plot with characters that were unique, secretive, and all capable of being the stalker. The twists were shocking, the reveals were unexpected and the ending was crazy. I definitely need to check out Kantaria's other books because I loved this one!

Thank you to Netgalley, Crooked Lane Books and Annabel Kantaria for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

5 stars! Wow - this book was just a roller coaster ride! This book captured my interest from the first page and didn't let go until the final page. If you like books with twists, turns, secrets and lies then this one is for you! Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

Unreliable characters, new city, pregnant and social media creeps? Great, count me in. Great combination of events in this debut novel. More and more psychological novels involve social media given our stalking tendencies, but really? do people go this far. Indeed, they do. Thrilling and compelling read right to the end.

“I Know You” is a reminder that we do not really know who is looking at our social media feeds and can we trust what we see what others share?
Taylor has moved to England in an attempt to save her marriage to Jake after his infidelity. They are expecting a child after years of trying. Taylor misses her home in CA and her job as an airline stewardess and lonely since Jake is gone for days at a time for his job.
She is like many of us addicted to social media and learns of a walking group that meets nearby and she joins hoping to make friends.
The book is told from Taylor’s POV alternating with a creepy, spiteful stalker who knows everything about Taylor and Jake. The author does a great job with red herrings and keeps the reader off guard just enough to keep you turning pages.
This is a good suspense story though it does lag in parts. I liked the story but none of the characters were without fault. Taylor was a victim of social media stalking but was guilty of it herself. I absolutely hated the abrupt ending!
I would give this 3.75 Stars ⭐️
Thank you to #netgalley #crookedlanebooks #anbabelkantaria for the ARC in return for my honest opinion.

Lots of twists and turns. I great domestic thriller!! A hold on to your seat ride. Throughly enjoyed!! Definitely would recommend.
Thank you for a chance to read this great arc.

A fantastic domestic thriller that once you start the first page it doesn’t let you go, Taylor who is pregnant after relocating joins a walking group to keep her busy while her husband works away and makes a bunch of quirky friends, however Taylor starts to realise they are not all what they seem and all have secrets to hide. Some secrets can be dangerous.

A good suspenseful read with a few twists
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Wow! What a totally gripping and absolutely thriller! I flew through this one! Just goes to show you the true dark side to social media. You really never know who is watching you online and that is definitely shown through this book. Also it shows you the consequences of what that knowledge can do once its in the wrong hands! Its hard to look at social media the same way after reading this one...

In today's public media society, what you post is key to how people see you. What you share let's others into your home indiscriminately. Annabel Kantaria took a thriller and added the sometimes eerie things that people post and follow to make it unique. How well do you know your friends? How well do they know you? In this story, a young pregnant woman must sort through these questions to find who she can trust before her world turns ugly. It will definitely make you think!

Wow! This book makes me want to shut down all my social media accounts. I had to go to all of mine after I was done and see what was available to the public to see. Creepy! I was not expecting the twist ending to this book and that was what I loved about this book- you didn’t know who was being stalked OR who was doing the stalking to the end. I had a pretty good idea of who was being stalked but how it all came together in the end was insane. Definitely recommend this one! Thank you HQ publishing and Netgalley for the ARC in return for my honest opinion of the book

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an Advance Readers Copy of I Know You. The following review is based solely on my own opinion.

3 stars

The story centers around married couple Taylor and Jake and Taylor's friend, Anna. The bit players are Simon, Sarah and Caroline.
I could not connect with the characters in this book. They did not have depth and I didn't feel that any of them belonged together.

A sticking point for me was that the author was not able to write Taylor as an American. Taylor did not speak or have thoughts that were phrased as someone who is from the United States. It wasn't even necessary for Taylor to be American. It added nothing to the story.

I kept reading, hoping that the characters would develop, but they never did. I finished it because I had to know the "who."
