wow this one definitely kept me on the edge until I finished it. If you are looking for a taut crazy ride, this one is for you,

Fast paced, well fleshed out characters. This was a good thriller overall, mostly of the suspense /psychological type. Naomi was a good protagonist who I enjoyed.

Naomi is a psychologist that specializes in domestic abuse. She gets heavily invested in her patients due to her past. Jacob is a client whose wife is abusing him and he wants to leave, but is scared to do so. When Jacob does leave things start falling apart for Naomi.

This was a twisted story as far as everything intertwining together. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t a favorite.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy

Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martins Press, and Sandi Jones for this ARC…one thing I know for sure is that Sandi Jones will take you for a thriller of a joyride. Never sure about the characters, but I wavered between knowing who they were and who I thought they were… not sure if this is my favorite book by this author, but none the less, I suggest her to everyone I talk books with…4 stars

3.5 This was such a fast entertaining domestic thriller that I could not put down . The Blame Game follows Naomi a psychologist who tends to get to involved in her patients lives. One day when a client she recently started seeing says he needs a place to stay to escape his abusive wife Naomi’s life will be changed forever. This domestic thriller is filled with tons of twist and turns and at times can feel a little over the top but it kept me turning those pages! This is the first book I’ve read by this author but definitely look forward to reading more. I would like to thank Net-galley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

This was a cliche from beginning to end. I wasn’t a fan. I think maybe this author just isn’t for me. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for review

A very interesting thriller about a psychiatrist getting too involved in her clients lives. Naomi just wants to help her clients, but gets entwined in a missing person case. It kept my interest throughout, but I thought it was just a typical thriller.

*Thank you @minotaurbooks and @macmillanaudio for the egalley and audiobook in exchange for an honest review. Review not posted to Amazon/Goodreads because less than 4 stars or DNF.*

This was a short, fast paced thriller filled with suspense and twists. I didn't want to put it down because I wanted to know what was going to happen. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend!

While I've liked other books I've read by Sandie jones, I was not a fan of this one. I didn't think that Naomi would blur boundaries with her clients the way she does, and the plot generally was a stretch for me. I understand the need to suspend reality at times when reading fiction, but this story called for a bit too much. I didn't connect with or care for the characters, and the twists didn't really pan out for me.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC. I had a really hard time with this one and ended up having to DNF it afteg 20% because I wasnt intrigued and couldn't figure out exactly where it was going. The plot seemed a little sloppy to me.

Naomi Chandler is a psychologist who wants to help her patients who are dealing with domestic abuse. Jacob is dealing with a wife, Vanessa, that abuses him. Anna is worried that she and her husband, Nick, are drifting apart after the death of their son Ben. As Naomi counsels these patients, she sometimes blurs the lines between professional and personal relationship. As she becomes closer to Jacob, her husband, Leon, suspects her of having an affair. When Jacob goes missing, Naomi becomes a suspect in his disappearance.
Naomi also has issues due to the domestic abuse of her mother by her father, and the separation of her sister when they were children.
This is a thriller with an unexpected resolution.
Quick read.

As a psychologist specializing in domestic abuse, Naomi has found it hard to not become overly invested in her clients’ lives. But after helping the middle-aged Jacob make the decision to leave his wife, Naomi has begun to worry that she’s gone too far this time. On the morning of Jacob’s first session after his escape, doors that Naomi is sure she’d locked have been mysteriously left open, and Jacob’s client file is missing.

So right off the bat, Naomi annoyed me. As a therapist, she should lose her license with all the boundary violations and unethical choices she makes. Absolutely no boundaries! Maybe this isnt a thing in the UK? She is also a liar with often no good reason to lie. I was hoping she was just an unreliable narrator and that was the "twist" but....

It kept me going with hating on Naomi so I finished. It wasn't horrible but I feel that it could've been better and she could've been a little less unethical.

This was a solid 3 star read, it kept me entertained, but it wasn’t a thriller I couldn’t put down. It definitely kept me guessing, however the storyline got a bit confusing sometimes. Overall, I did enjoy it and it was a decent read!

This book was a big confusing mess. I couldn’t remember who was who and what was happening. This was not for me.

Well, it was a hot mess to keep up with all the people and the lies! But, the end was definitely worth it!

The writing had me all over the place in this book. It was so confusing and slow that I finally gave up and just stopped.

Sandie Jones does it again! I love all of the books by Jones and this one was no exception. I could not put this one down! I always look forward to Jones' new releases!

This is probably one of the most predictable books I’ve read. It’s still good though. Luckily, it a short we’ll written book. The characters are great and well thought out. You really root for Naomi. But it loses stars for being predictable.

Sandie Jones leaves me shocked once again! The Goodreads ratings on this one almost scared me off but I’ve always been a fan of this author so I decided to give it a go. I’m super glad I did! I really enjoyed this short thriller, the only thing that keeps me from rating it a little higher was the confusing ending. Overall, it was good!
