While You Slept by R.J. Parker is everything you crave in a top notch thriller; addictive, edge of your seat tension that does not let up, even for a moment, and a conclusion that you will never see coming. You will want to devour this one in a single session.

Lily Russell is at work when she checks the security app on her phone. Staring back at her is someone who is wearing a mask in the likeness of her five year old daughter, Maisie. So begins a chilling nightmare that is endless in its intensity. I could not turn the pages quickly enough. If I have one small quibble, it is that five year old Maisie's words and actions seem to be more characteristic of a fifteen year old than to a young child but, nonetheless, this observation in no way detracts from a spine-tingling read that will grab you from the very first page.

Many thanks to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK and One More Chapter for this ARC.

RJ Parker has done it again after the success of so many psychological thrillers.
When a man wearing a picture mask of her daughter Maisie's face stands tauntingly in her garden, Lily Russell does the smart thing and calls the police. When she and Maisie wake up the following morning in an exact replica of their home, held captive by that same man, the police are no longer an option.
Without further a do, just go for this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and One More Chapter for giving me an advanced copy.

I’ve only read one other book by this author, The Dinner Party, and loved this. But this was just on another level. So frightening and tense it was an amazing story. Highly recommended xxx

This book kept me up all night and made me paranoid, and I meant that as a compliment. The twists and overall story are well written and can make you anxious that you will keep reading and not take a break.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter. for this arc.

This was a wonderful and thrilling novel with characters that draw you right in and don’t let go. The storyline flowed seamlessly and kept me glued to the pages.

While You Slept by R. J. Parker is a twisted, pulse-increasing book that is part thriller, part psychological masterpiece.

There were times that I found myself literally on the edge of my seat....stressful, but in a good way. Definitely a few twists, turns, and surprises and it kept me engrossed until the end. And wow, what an ending.

4/5 stars
