A great thriller that will do very well in bookstores. This book would appeal to fans of books about espionage and also fans of family-driven thrillers (like The Woman in the WIndow).

I enjoyed You Can Run so when I seen another Karen novel I jumped all over it!

The New Neighbor is nonstop excitement, believable characters, suspense, twists you don’t see coming, this novel has it all.
Each chapter is filled with edge-of-your-seat tension, thrilling action, and superb dialogue.
I was glued to the story, and couldn’t flip the pages fast enough.
This brilliant novel will keep the reader totally engaged and completely intrigued throughout the book.
I loved these characters they were on point and with every turned page I they kept getting better and better!.
This amazing thriller is so addictive with the full steam plot, it kept me up all night reading!
The closer I got to the end... The more I kept thinking how I didn't want this novel to end.
The pacing is great and suspenseful twists.
I read this straight through and really look forward to the author's next book!

Ballantine Books and NetGalley,
Thank You for this amazing, suspenseful story!
I will post to my platforms closer to pub day!

This was such a great mystery! After I finished roughly 20% of the book I couldn’t put it down. Very fast paced.. I kept trying to figure out who the neighbor was… and it’s for sure not a predictable one.

“The New Neighbor” by Karen Cleveland is a fast paced thriller. We follow Beth Bradford as she undergoes a number of life changes - she’s moved to a different department in the CIA (not her choice), she’s moving from her house of a number of years, and dealing with her last child going away to college. This book is, as mentioned before, very fast paced and Ms. Cleveland’s knowledge of the CIA very evident. There are a number of “is this the person” red herrings, but they all made sense when we’re following Beth’s line of thought - meaning her guesses made sense so everyone and anyone could have been a suspect. I did like the cliff-hanger ending (will this be part of a sequel?), though I guessed something like that would happen (note: this did not lessen my enjoyment of the book). A very strong four stars.

Wow...intrigue at its best. FBI...CIA...all the law enforcement in one novel...This book was sent to me by Netgalley electronically for review...I could not put the book down. Usually, I know the answer to the puzzle from early on...not in this book. Cleveland is an artist at weaving a story that keeps the interest of the reader...red herrings...was it this person? That person? Who was it? I kept asking these questions as I read. Then...we know...easy to guess part of the answer, but the final...not so much...the characters are believable and the story is so real that it could be happening as we read the book...it reads almost as nonfiction, but we know it is totally fiction...or is it? Read this one...answer that question if you can.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review this book. Wow! What a page-turner. If you love fast paced, edge of your seat thrillers…this book is for you!

I received an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review

I loved this one. Very fast paced, had me turning pages as I tore through it – I had to see how it would end. The characters were well rounded and the narrative felt believable. Gave me chills. Solid five

An absolutely delicious thriller about the CIA. The main character in this book is extremely dynamic and you are eager to see what happens to her. I highly recommend this one the story is great.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle by Random House Publishing Group- Ballantine, Ballantine Books and #NetGalley for my honest opinion. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

This one kept me guessing until the end. I can’t wait for the next in the series, it looks to be as promising. The book was fast paced, a true thriller and throughly entertaining.

Cleveland's book is phenomenal.
Beth is moving from the cul-de-sac she’s long called home, and the CIA is removing her from the case that’s long been hers: tracking an elusive Iranian intelligence agent known as The Neighbor. Madeline Sterling moves into Beth’s old house. She has what Beth once had: an adoring husband, three beautiful young children, and the close-knit group of neighbors on the cul-de-sac. Now she has it all. And Beth—who can’t stop watching the woman stepping in to her old life—thinks the new neighbor has something else too: ties to Iranian intelligence. Is Beth just jealous? Paranoid? Or is something more at play?
I loved it's concept. At first I wasn't judging Beth for what she's but as soon as I've read a few chapters, I was in. I seriously didn't know who to trust and this is the phenomenal thing of this novel.
I think both female characters were equally important and this becomes more sinister towards its end.
I loved it. This is a brilliant novel which is a must read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for giving me an advanced copy.
