2.5 stars. This is a book that could have benefitted from an updated description and a better marketing plan. Anyone expecting a thriller will be disappointed. This is a domestic drama that can feel like a soap opera at times. There was also a heavy dose of romance - which I never would have requested the book if I was expecting that.

This was really great! Kept me on my toes and I didn’t want to put it down. The end!!! Jesus Christ! This author has a way with words to
Keep you engaged and guessing!

When I read the description, I thought this would be a great read. When I started this story, I wasn’t so sure but was pleasantly surprised.

Twists, turns, and red herrings, this story is very entertaining. Things play out and wrap up as they should.

I have to say I'm a little perplexed at why this was marked as a mystery thriller. I do see that it had some mysterious type parts in the plot, such as where Sabrina came from and who she is but I really don't think that this qualified as a thriller. that being said, I felt that there was a lot of drama and good pacing of the story that made me want to keep turning the pages. I was invested in Molly and her story and how her story with Jake would turn out. I wanted to know more about Sabrina and how she intertwined with the story. I did really enjoy this and will read more by Carola Lovering.

A novel of domestic suspense that was entertaining from start to finish. We follow Sabrina, Molly, and Jake as their mysterious love triangle unfolds over the course of adulthood. While some elements to the plot may have been predictable, the writing kept me interested in seeing how everyone's life stories would end up.

Being my first Carola Lovering book, I am eager to read Too Good To Be True after finishing this one. The writing was great and kept the pages turning. Molly and even Jake were likeable enough characters that I was invested in their relationship and seeing what would become of them. Sabrina was awful but I believe she was supposed to be from the start.

Would definitely recommend to lovers of the next domestic suspense novel.

SO Good!! Devoured in one day. I think there was an element of it that was pretty unrealistic but it was still believable and not totally out there. I found it to be less psycho-thriller and more domestic drama - there wasnt a lot of heart pounding thriller type moments. I liked the romantic drama sprinkled in.

This is the second book that I have read by this author and I liked it! I love sexy suspense novels, and this one had me guessing all the way until the end. It wasn't too long, and perfect.

Didn’t like the characters. Just couldn’t get into it. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for review

This was a good book with a strong plot. I liked the character development and the whole rock star relationship vibe. I expected more of a plot twist, but this was still and excellent book and I enjoyed the ending. IT annoys me when characters are portrayed in stark black and white and this book did not do that. There was plenty of gray area. I recommend it!

Went into this book blind and was pleasantly surprised to find out that its a flirty, sexy suspense. Great drama, unable to put it down. This was a mixture of romance, intrigue, suspense, mystery, and emotional all in one. REALLY liked this one!!!

SYNOPSIS: A sexy suspense novel about the kind of addictive, obsessive love that keeps you coming back––no matter how hard you try to look away.

REVIEW: First, let me say I'm a Carola Lovering FAN. I LOVED Tell Me Lies, and with her sophomore novel, I loved it almost just as much. So when I saw she was coming out with a third, I knew I had to have it. This book was no less captivating. It struggled a bit at times, falling a bit "dead" at moments, but overall, the thriller captured my attention, and I'd have no problem recommending it and/or buying it for my friends. Lovering is becoming one of my go-to authors and I'm thrilled!

VERDICT: 4 STARS

Thank you to netgalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy of this one!

From the author of Tell Me Lies and Too Good to Be True comes Carola Lovering's Can't Look Away, a sexy suspense novel about the kind of addictive, obsessive love that keeps you coming back––no matter how hard you try to look away.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the opportunity to read and review an advanced readers copy of this book. This in no way affects my review, all opinions are my own.

This book starts with an incredibly clichéd storyline - boy in a rock band spots a girl in the crowd and the two fall in love. With a start like that, I was already so skeptical. The writing style was also a little juvenile in a way where I thought this might've actually been a YA book. Luckily, as the story progressed I think it did get better and was more suspenseful than anticipated. I liked the back and forth time jumps and the point views changing to give us more context to Molly and Jake's histories.

The ending left me so confused because I feel like it wasn't realistic? (SPOILER AHEAD) In what world would Sabrina not face any repercussions for pushing a pregnant woman down the stairs? I'm supposed to accept that there were no legal consequences from that? I did enjoy reading this one because it was entertaining but did I think it was really that great? No, probably not.

This was an addictive one. I couldn’t stop reading and I had to know what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed this one. So much more than Tell Me Lies. I wouldn’t classify this as a thriller.. more suspense.

I really enjoyed this book, but not as much as Lovering's first novel. The character development was excellent and the story kept me on my toes.

I really enjoyed this book and it was full of thrills and suspense. If you like psychological thrillers then definitely read this one.

A valentine to those crushes we have on that rebel musician, in that local hot band. It’s life in the fast lane when struggling is chic, and your love is on the top ten in the form of a hit song. It’s waking up tired of the life and getting a chance at different. It’s coming to terms with lost and love with a steady heartbeat. It’s a great read.

This multiple POV novel was filled with tension, suspense, and jealousy- and I enjoyed each and every second of it. Sabrina’s perspective creeped me out from very early on, and gave me strong Joe from “You” vibes. I really love a good stalker story!

I flew threw this book, and really liked how it alternated from past to present timelines- giving us glimpses into the history between each character. I did predict one of the twists pretty early on, but was pleasantly surprised with how everything came together in the end.

This was a really entertaining, page-turning thriller! I’m excited to read more books by this author in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for my e-copy to read and honestly review!

Molly and Jake hit it off and soon they are head over heels in love but they're young and there are just a few things getting in the way! One of those things is Jake's music career which takes him on the road A LOT and it doesn't help that he's a bit self-absorbed with not only his music but himself. Then there's his ex, CC who just can't seem to let Jake go and blames Jake for leaving her completely on Molly. It doesn't help that he wrote a song about Molly - two if you want to get technical - January Girl was about Molly, too.
Molly is a good soul; a struggling writer who's not without her own issues but she loves Jake with all her heart. There's nothing she wouldn't do for Jake and that includes protecting him from himself. Moving on and happily married, she is blindsided when a blast from her past renters her life and all hell breaks loose!
|loved the way this one was told! Alternating timelines and alternating POVs between Molly, Jake and Sabrina. The varying POVs give a unique and multifaceted perspective, one I could appreciate because this story needed to be heard from different angles!
This is such a well-paced book that I flew through it. Talk about a binge-worthy book!

Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for sending a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love Carola Lovering’s books, and Can’t Look Away is an awesome read! It’s an engrossing thriller with twists galore. I cannot wait to read her next book!

Entertaining and draws you in.
I wanted to see when 'she' would get caught. Would she slip up, would someone out her, would she miss covering her tracks?
I liked the lives that were intertwined. It didn't lul and I was interested in each character.
I really liked the ending before the epilogue, it felt real and I was content with the characters endings.
The epilogue I didn't love as much, I don't think she would have been able to stop stalking and meddling so easily and that she wouldn't in some way be punished for what she did.
