Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
This was a heck of a psychological thriller...very tense, especially towards the end; I read way too late!
Darcy Hogan's life is just about perfect: she's a successful business woman, married to her longtime love and heavily pregnant. When she is on a popular tv show being interviewed, a nasty call comes in from a voice of the past. The book features three pov's: Darcy, Gillian and Tina. They all went to the same fancy private school where bullying was one of the sports played. Twenty years later, it seems to be payback time...
This won't be my last Janelle Harris book, I really enjoyed it! Definitely recommended.

A great psychological thriller told from different view points, which keeps the story flowing. Though at times there is an over use of adjectives, which usually is distracting for me, the plot and characters were strong enough that I overlooked it. A great escape!
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

I have just finished reading this book and all I can say is wow what an utterly brilliant read this was. I just love a book that messes with your head, a book that you have no idea what is going to happen next and with this book I got all that. From the first page this book had me hooked and I just wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. For fans of psychological thrillers this book is a must read. 5⭐️

Darcy Hogan is feeling tired and lonely as she tries to make it through a difficult pregnancy all while running a successful business with her husband Luke.
After being interviewed on a local tv station about her food business and answering a strange phone call during the interview by a woman demanding a job strange events begin happening. She hears a lot of noises in her house, finds rats, loose floorboards with hidden papers, her beloved dog is poisoned Darcy wonders if she is again being "stalked" by former fellow student Tina. At the same time another student who went missing 20 something years before moves into the house next door.
This book was an amazing example of a psychological thriller and one that I couldn't put down but keep reading into the night. Written in alternating chapters by Darcey, Tina and Gillian this is a fast paced and frightening book about relationships, jealousy, bullying and mental illness.

Online, Darcy appears to lead the perfect life. Married to her childhood sweetheart, she’s about to become a mother. Behind the scenes, Darcy has been left locked in at home because of her difficult pregnancy, she’s running\ out of money and a troll is making her life a living hell. Alone while her husband is out of town, she begins to get strange phone calls and begins to wonder if the caller may actually be someone she knows. Social media can be fun, but it can also be absolutely terrifying as this book illustrates
