A good read. Not one F the best, but I enjoyed it and finished reading it without losing interest, Three stars.

I’ve read all S.E. Lynes previous books and loved them.
I was so looking forward to this latest offering however it didn’t quite capture my attention.
It was a bit of a slow burner and I struggled to complete it. That said I think the apocalypse going on in the world at present may have distracted me.

Can You See Her? By Author S.E. Lynes is an excellent psychological-thriller. The Author does a superb job of story telling, and mood setting to create a book that is both interesting, and thought-provoking

A great book. I do want to read more of this author’s work.

The main character Rachel Ryder Is caught up in wondering what is happening to her, and she has become invisible to those around her – In her home and life.

5 Stars from me!. One of the best books that I have read so far this year!

Thanks to NetGalley, Author S.E. Lynes, and Bookouture for my advanced copy of Can You See Her? for my review

4.5 stars for me

Can You See Her is a book of many aspects.

The story of Rachel who believes she must be invisible as no one sees her, I know we have all felt that way one time or another.

It is a story that draws you in slowly. You will laugh with Rachel, you will cry with Rachel and you will sympathize with her.

Don't worry you can hiss at Ingrid. Nasty she is.

Don't get complacent, there are twists that bring you back to reality.

I know this book will stay with me for awhile as I continue to think about it.

Thanks to Net Galley and Bookouture for an amazing read and as always take the time to read the author's notes at the end of the book.

I just could not get into this book as hard as I tried and I finally had to quit reading it so it is a DNF. Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them.

A heartbreaking story told by Rachel Edwards after handing herself into the police she is giving her version of the last few months of her life and what she believes she has done. It moves between Rachel, and the statements of her friends and family to the police. It’s a compelling psychological thriller I struggled to put down. This is the second book I have read by Susie and I will certainly be looking to read more.

Thus is the first book I read from this author and I love it. The theme is very intriguing and the story didn’t disappointed. Who never felt invisible at least once in our lives? The characters are very well developed and engaging and the plot well wrapped to an unexpected ending. I would definitely recommend this book and looking forward to read another book from this author.

An interesting take on a thriller. Rachel is a wife and mother. She feels, like many mothers, unseen. Her children look past her, her husband ignores her. At the same time, the rise of violence and crime in her area are on the rise, especially with knife crimes. ... Rachel start to suspect herself.

Interspersed with interviews with police, her family and with a psychologist, this book looks at mental health in a different and compelling way.

SE Lynes is an exciting writer and I can't wait to read what's next.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Another great book by this author. She has such a knack of creating real characters and every book is so different. I could completely relate to the main character in this story and read with bated breath while her story unravelled, hoping that I'd got it wrong. Which I had, because there's a great twist or two thrown in to shatter all your theories!

Unfortunately for me, I just could not engage with this story, it may be because of things in the world, but I just couldn’t engage with the characters despite picking this one up and putting it back down then coming back to it.

Apologies, but this story is just not for me.

Can You See Her? is a painstaking story of what we had to face in consequence when we let anger or resentment beat the best of us until it succumbs us down and dominates us entirely.

I will admit it, I had cried really ugly while preparing meals today and had to endure it for a while since my mom looking at my direction and continues went she left. If I don't have my shirt sleeve to shed tears, then I might run out of tissues. All I want is to weep and left my shirt soaking wet. It's incredibly touching.

The story itself makes it unputdownable since page one. Even the language left out a piercing into my soul and touch my every sense. Simply because it was grim and realistic. And believe me, any woman with a motherly heart would felt that with her whole heart, if she has given the book it's chances as the pace slightly slow.

I also loved the dedication and consideration the author inserts into her stories and in every line, making those that still and forever struggle to feel better even a bit, therefore able to take hold of their life and resurrect from their suffering. It's not easy and you are forever strong.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to engross herself into the aftereffect of tragic events, to feel their pain and struggle to cope with their surroundings and know that there's a way to get through.

DNF @ 20% - This book has such good reviews, I might give it an other try in the future, but I just can't follow it. The writing is so jumpy, between past and present, and between different character interviews. I have 3 kids and I feel like this book needs more dedicated focus than I can give at the moment.

Amazing story and read! From the very first page this book captured my attention. It weaves so many tales of death, murder and despair that you can barely catch your breath. Each page reveals another shocking revelation, with a superb twist at the end. Absolutely must read!

Special thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with ARC.
This is the first novel to me by S.E.Lynes but it's so boring and not fit for me. I take too much time to get into it but really I didn't enjoy it at all.
The cover is good and I love it.

Wow Susie Lynes, you are one heck of a storyteller! Regular readers of her books will know how clever her stories are and how real her characters are. With Can You See Her? You will get this all and more. A twisty and shocking psychological thriller that kept me up reading way past my bedtime. Thank you Susie, I really needed this book 🤗

I do not want to go into too much detail about the plot, you really need to read it and see for yourself. Basically it the story of Rachel Edwards, a mother and wife who is feeling under appreciated. She feels like her family don’t see her unless she doesn’t do something for them. Her kids are grown up and don’t need her as much anymore and her husband is spending more time with the new neighbour than her. It is her struggle to find her way in life as it is now. We hear from Rachel as well as police interviews with the other key characters. What happened??

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased

As soon as I saw there was a new S.E. Lynes book- well I had to have it! She always delivers a twisted thriller that I can't get out of my mind. This one was a bit of a slow build however, it did deliver in the end!

Rachel is struggling...she seems well a bit...umm disgruntled, perhaps unstable. Or is it just menopause?! HAHA as a nurse I really was trying to dig deep to see what was going on with Rachel. Her internal feelings of anger would boil up as she felt her husband and kids paid her no attention. Hey Rach girl- I feel ya! I know we all feel like that from time to time- yet Rachel had it bad.

I must admit I began to question Rachel's sanity as she was convinced that her husband Mark was cheating on her with ...well everyone. Her new neighbor, her BFF. Was Mark really this low or was Rachel just delusional? Or was it just a matter of getting older and feeling less self worth?

As we found out Rachel had an obsession with crimes...dark, twisted crimes...hmmm things got interesting. Even more so when I began to wonder if Rachel had a hand in these crimes.

In typical S.E. Lynes fashion, we get a big, twisted end with this one- that I never saw coming. Even though I enjoyed this one, The Proposal is still hands down my favorite!

This was another book I just couldn’t get into. I felt like it took a long time to really get into the story & the only part of the story that I actually found interesting was the very end when everything started to come together. I did enjoy the ending & I was surprised by it. I did like how the story switched between telling Rachel’s side of the story, & the testimony from Rachel’s husband & daughter, their neighbor Ingrid, & Rachel’s friend Lisa. I also liked the whole mental health stand point of this book. As somebody who works with psych patients, it truly is amazing to see how the human brain works & how things such as grief can have an effect on someone. For anybody who is interested in mental health, I definitely think you should check out this book!

This is a psychological thriller in a different way. For the first one third I couldn’t get a grasp of the plot. There is a lot of rambling and details, the plot actually picks up after about 60%. The story line is very good, the take home message is excellent and need of the day, for which I am giving 4.5 stars. The blurb is nowhere near the plot. I have mixed feelings about this book.

Excellent thriller about a grief stricken woman dealing with mental illness. Covering a variety of important topics, this book is original and a great read. When grief stricken Rachel begins to have large gaps in her memory she begins to fear she has committed some horrific crimes that have occurred in her small neighborhood. As she has started to feel invisible, and is barely talking to her family she becomes more and more depressed. I have read several books by S.E. Lyons and this has been my favorite by far. Intriguing, heart wrenching and an excellent mystery. I would give more than five stars if possible. One of my favorites this year. Highly recommend.

I hoped to enjoy this book more, but I thought it rambled on a lot, and it took me some time to finish it. This was not a read I couldn’t put down or read in one or two sittings. Good plot line, interesting characters, but I wished events had moved on a little faster. Rachel has confessed to some neighborhood murders, and takes her sweet time explaining things. After about 60% through the story, things became much more interesting, and there were a couple of very unexpected revelations, especially one right at the end. I have a great deal of sympathy for people, especially women, with MH issues. I didn’t find it very clear at the beginning, and that kept me a little frustrated while reading. It was like watching a spool unwinding, albeit very slowly, Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
