I devoured this book in a day and a half! I just couldn’t wait to find out who was who and who did what! Sandee Jones always manages to ensnare me in her tangled web with her twisted stories!

This was an interesting read. I felt like the plot was predictable at a point but still a book that kept my interest the whole time. I love her books and can’t wait for her next one. Even with how I felt about the plot, I still gobbled this up within 2 days. Fantastic writer and another great story.

The Blame Game turned out to be a bit of a letdown. I’ve read and liked previous Sandie Jones books, but with this one, there wasn’t anything special that stood out and made me enjoy it. The police investigation felt very unprofessional and amateur and it really bugged me. Some parts of the story I don’t feel like added up correctly and it felt so far fetched, that I found it hard to connect to. The characters were basic and very unlikable. Even though this one didn’t work for me, i will continue reading Sadie Jones books

I was a bit undecided on how I felt after I read this book. The twists were fascinating, but I guessed the ending way too early. I liked the writing but thought the characters were a little annoying.

Naomi is a psychologist working out of a discrete office located in her backyard. She has a helpless desire to reach out and assist her clients far beyond the scope of her role, often to the point that it affects her personal home life. As I read this, I could just imagine a licensed psychologist cringing.
This aspect of Naomi is the central crux of the story. She is trusting and gullible to the point that her family’s safety is threatened. This is a good plot, but the characters become muddled as the story unfolds. I was confused at the end, but it was still a fun book with cringe-worthy episodes of Naomi’s bad judgment.
Thanks so much to St. Martin’s Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I'm going to give this one 3.5 stars. I liked this domestic suspense novel quite a bit and was entertained while reading. It was a super quick read for me and at less than 300 pages it was easily bingeable. I quite liked the plot of the story and was pretty intrigued by it. Naomi, a psychologist who specialized in domestic abuse would do anything to help her clients. After helping a man named Jacob leave his wife, she began to worry when he suddenly went missing and all of her files on him Vanished. As the police got involved and started to dig into things, more and more questions arise and this is where things start to get twisted.

I wish I could give this book a higher rating because I've loved the author's previous books. But this one got a little too tangled up for my liking. The twists were not epic, but seemed almost confusing. Everything came together very quickly, in a slightly rushed fashion and sometimes it was hard to keep characters straight. Like I said, the idea of the story was really cool and there was a lot of potential here. But while I enjoyed the book, it will not be a standout for me.

This book ended up being a DNF. Rating is based solely on the content I did read. I ultimately found the pacing and development of the story and/or characters not engaging enough to continue on and finish the complete book.

Psychological thrillers are my jam but I think this book missed the mark for me. I wanted to love it but it dragged and I just wasn't invested in any of the characters or the story. Therapists in thrillers seem to be a trend lately but it felt overdone in this book. I'm glad I read the book but it wasn't my favorite.

Thanks, NetGalley and Minotaur Books, for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I am not sure where this one went wrong for me. It was a great idea on paper. It is believable. There are many, many secrets. Maybe the narrator is unreliable or maybe is isn’t. It kept me guessing for a lot of the book, but it was just OK for me.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC

While I am a sucker for a good thriller (psychological or otherwise) this one missed the mark for me. The writing was good but the story dragged on and I found myself bored. I didn't feel compelled to find out what happened , or really care about the end. For that reason I chose to DNF this book.

Sandie Jones' latest novel is a quick and suspenseful thriller. Centering around psychologist, Naomi and her two separate clients, Anna and Jacob, the plot is face paced and always leaves the reader a little off kilter. Naomi leans in a little too much to her job, feeling guilt towards her clients and always wanting to help them even at her own mental expense.

Ultimately the plot twist when revealed is satisfactory, though not super surprising in my opinion. This novel can be read over a weekend, and is a fun peek into other people's minds.

Thank you to NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the chance to read this novel.

This was a mixed book for me, I liked the characters but found the story to be long and drawn out. Could have been shortened . I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. I have loved others of her books more than this one. 3 star for me.

I wanted to love this one. It just didn’t do it for me. Parts of it made me cringe at the ethics of it. Maybe I just read at a bad time.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review

The Blame Game was a fun, twisty thriller that kept me entertained.

Naomi wasn’t a likable character for me. None of them were, honestly, but that made it even more enjoyable. I was trying to figure things out the whole way through and, when all of the characters seem questionable, anything is a possibility.

There’s a lot happening in this story, which kept me on my toes. And the epilogue is awesome. I absolutely loved that ending.

Read this if you like thrillers that:
⭐️Are full of twists and turns
⭐️Have unlikable characters and everyone is suspect
⭐️Are over the top full of action
⭐️Hook you from the first page

I could not put this book down - start reading early because it will keep you up all night! An excellent, twisty read by Sandie Jones!

The Blame Game by Sandie Jones was initially pretty interesting, but I found Naomi to completely lack boundaries, thereby making the entire story implausible. I wouldn't want her as a therapist that's for sure. Though there are plenty of twists and turns, I found this book unrelatable. One redeeming quality is that it is a short read. Thanks to Netgalley for an advance copy.

I always look forward to Sandie Jones' books and was really excited to read this one. i enjoyed it alot! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this one. Can't wait for the next one!

Ohhh my this book has lots of twist and turns and it blew my mind! Naomi lives in a small village in England and is a therapist for domestic abuse encounters a man who is a victim of it. However the next day the man goes missing only his name isn’t what she thought and she was the last one to see him alive. So now Naomi doesn’t know what to believe or who is who!

This book has so many great turns and you’re always guessing!

Thanks NetGalley for the advanced copy!

I really enjoyed this domestic suspense novel. Naomi is a psychologist that often gets a bit too involved in her client’s cases. This is what happens when she helps a client but when he suddenly vanishes she is accused of having something to do with his disappearance. Has she read the situation all wrong? There were a lot of twists and turns and it definitely kept me guessing. I loved the writing and the fast paced plot.

Another great read by one of my favorite authors. It was a little slow to start with but once all the craziness started I couldn’t stop reading. I few red herrings thrown in made me second guess what I thought I had figured out. The ending was great and I kept questioning who the actual bad person was. Was it the husband or the wife which I had kinda already figured out. What a great read and can’t wait for her next book.
