A pulse-pounding, twisty read that I couldn’t put down! Very well-written with memorable, interesting characters. I really enjoyed this tension-filled thriller! Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read the ARC.

CL Taylor does it again!! I literally devour her books and race through them as I just cannot put them down!
This book was so well written and I really couldn’t figure out where it was going at times. Loved all the twists and turns and the stalker aspect of the whole novel made things even creepier! Reading the authors note at the end also made the book bit harder, knowing she had experienced some of this herself. Brilliant written and unputdownable!!

Book Review – Every Move you Make by C.L Taylor
4.5/5 *
I, still, to this day remember the very first book I read from C.L Taylor (The Escape) and ever since then, they have become my go to author for any sort of thriller/suspense novel.

Every Move You Make is just like every other book from Taylor. It is difficult to explain without it sounding awful but I will try. Firstly, they're easy. Like you can pick it up in the middle of the afternoon and have it done by the evening king of easy. But that is not to say how easy they are to figure the plot out. That has yet to happen, for me.

There is so much description and intensity throughout the book that you are not left bored, but in fact drawn in and waiting for this plot twist. It keeps you hooked but in such a way where you can easily read it without it being overdone. That makes sense right? The very last thing I want when reading it trying to obtain obscene amounts of information that it becomes to much to enjoy, that’s my pet peeve, But Taylor just isn't capable of that,

You’re on the edge of your seat. You’re fighting your brain trying to figure it out. You’re cursing yourself for getting it so wrong but at the same time your just completely and utter lost in the book, its easy. Those are my favourite.

I like to dabble in all sorts of genres but when it comes down to it, I will pick up a thriller/suspense over everything else and when this gets released in March (yes, I already have it preordered) it will sit on my shelf with the other 2000 (slight exaggeration) books I have of Taylors.

If you just want to lose yourself in a book then I will always recommend Taylor for that. The books speak for themselves.

A Huge thank you to NetGalley and the publishing team for allowing me to read this ARC. This review is from my own, honest opinion.

This is a scarily realistic tale of how easy it can be for someone to isolate you from your friends and family and push you to the limits. Its alos a great demonstration of the lengths desperate people will go to.

This is a story of people who are being stalked who join a support group. They re all scared, it's impacting their daily lives and they don't feel that they can get help. Whilst it's fiction it's scarily close to the truth you hear from many people who ve been in that situation and the brutal honesty and rawness the characters experience make the book both brilliant and motivational.

I was so sure I'd worked out who would die and how. I wasn't completely right but this was a book when I wanted the girls and River to make it to the end and be stronger for it.

This was okay. Not the greatest of C L Taylor reads but good all the same. Just expected a bit more.

CL Taylor is in a class of her own when it comes to delivering blisteringly pacy plots that you just cannot stop reading. Every Move You Make is no exception. I read it in one sitting, sucked in by the twisty narrative about a group of stalking victims turning the table on their stalkers. My only quibble was the trigger for them taking action – receiving a funeral bouquet – felt flimsy and coincidental. They read far more into a certain date than the average person would! But that was the only weak point in a plot that had so many twists and turns it's as much a head-spinner as a page-turner! I didn't see the ending coming either and the final twist was superb. Highly recommend.

Looking for an addictive page-turner that will have you looking over your shoulder? Well look no further, C. L. Taylor has you covered with her latest novel, Every Move You Make which is out next month!

Five individuals form a support group chat as they are all being stalked. After one is murdered, things take a sinister turn for the others and a countdown is on for one of them but the question is, who?

This book had me gripped from the very first page and that first chapter?! Actually chills! Taylor's writing here is captivating and the layering of the plot is what really got me! It weaves and twists but there's also heart in it. We see how these characters care for one another all while they're struggling in their own lives. While reading, I was so suspicious of everyone and questioning motives, it has a feel that at any point things could turn. Readers will be on the edge of their seats! While the entire read was a treat the ending was the cherry on top! There were many gasps as I reached the conclusion, I saw nothing coming!

Thank you so much Avon Books, NetGalley and C. L. Taylor for this copy! I've seen so much love on here for this book and it's all so deserved, an automatic must-read! Every Move You Make is out March 28th!

I love this author and was not disappointed by the latest book from them. This time we are introduce to a group of people brought together because they are victims of stalkers and their fear has brought them together. After the brutal murder of one of their group they are delivered a wreath suggesting they are next. It’s a race against time to bring their stalkers out in the open but is everyone being honest and is the danger closer than they think. I loved this edge of your seat thriller which is not to be missed.

I found this book creepy as hell, but just couldn’t stop reading it! The twists and turns kept me hooked from the get go, right till the end. Yes there were some unbelievable moments, but none that put me off from finishing the book. The book is well written, the twists and plots are thrilling and the ending is great. I’m glad I got a chance to read it and definitely recommend this book.
Thank you to the publishers Avon Books UK for an advanced copy of this ebook and giving me a chance to review this book!

Love C L Taylor books! Predictably fast paced and gripping storylines. This one is hard to put down from about half way through as you just need to read another chapter. Themes around stalking are the focus of this book but I loved the mystery surrounding who were the stalkers and who was being stalked!!! Sufficiently creepy and exciting. Great read!

This is a good thriller with a story around staking. A group has been set up via whatsapp for victims of stalking, when one of the members Rachel is killed by her stalker and a wreath is delivered at her funeral to the group giving them a date until another death they decide to meet up and discuss how to keep each other safe. The book is well written and kept me guessing. There were a good mix of characters and action. I will be recommending to others.

#EveryMoveYou Make #NetGalley I love C L Taylor as an author. She manages to make each book unique. The storyline for this book was quite different to others and was a great (if that is the right word!) read. Plenty of action and drama that made me catch my breath on occasions and really brought home to me how terrifying a stalker would be. An ending I didn't see coming kept me turning the pages late into the night. The notes from the author explaining how she had once been the subject of a stalker made the book even more intense. A great read and a well deserved 5 stars

Wow I finished this in a day! Really gripping I’d highly recommend it.

A group of people set up a support group for victims of stalking. When one of them is murdered they’re all shocked and meet for the first time in person at her funeral. But an unwelcome gift puts them all in danger. Someone is going to die soon, but which one of them will it be? And is it their stalkers or someone more dangerous.

This complex and frightening account of stalking will be all too real to those who have suffered from such an invasive crime. One stalker in a story would be bad enough but in this book there are multiple instances. Exploring the horrific depths these warped people go to while professing their love to their victims makes for a frightening and creepy story. River, Alex, Lucy, Bridget and Natalie all live in London and each has a stalker. When one of them is murdered the remaining members of their small group attend the funeral. There, they are presented with a wreath that implies one of them will also die in just ten days. They each suspect their own stalker and as the days pass, the fear escalates, difficult decisions are made and they realise the danger is very real. The culmination of the book is evil and shocking as the truth fully emerges. Another brilliant book from Cally Taylor that certainly seemed to understand the extremes that stalkers will go to. I was therefore sad and dismayed to read her author’s note at the end of the book.

Every Move You Make by C.L. Taylor is a chilling a portrayal of the horror of being stalked, harassed, threatened, and what it means to be the object of one’s obsession.

Natalie, Alexandra, Lucy, Bridget and River form a group no one ever wants to be a part of. All victims of stalking, they first met on an online forum for those trying to cope with the unyielding threat of being stalked. Bonded over their experiences, and realizing the five live locally, they decide to form their own WhatsApp support check-in group called FYST. But when a member of their group is killed by their own stalker, the members of FYST meet in person for the first time at the funeral. It is here, in the church pews, that they receive a delivery of flowers with a threatening message: one of them will die in a matter of days. The group was supposed to increase their chance of safety, now surviving seems unlikely for at least one of them. But which one?

It seems the only way to not become the next victim is to fight back, so they devise a plan to stalk their stalkers and to track their every move. It is an urgent task to find which stalker made the threat before the deadline. As fear begins to take hold, suspicion takes over, and the members of FYST start to cast doubt on everyone, including each other. It is a suspenseful and gripping story, authentically told, of the powerlessness of being stalked. The author’s note provides good insight as to why C.L. Taylor was able to offer such a credible account of the emotions involved.

Thank you to NetGalley, author C.L. Taylor, and Avon Books UK for an advanced reader copy of this book.

I'm a huge CL Taylor fan and this certainly didn't disappoint. The intricacies of each character and their story was so well written, and whilst I worried maybe I'd struggle to follow along, I absolutely devoured this with ease. The characters are great, the storyline left me gasping and the ending was so surprising, not one I expected at all. Fantastic!

In the year up to June 2023, there were over 700,000 reported cases of stalking in the UK. Seven-hundred thousand. Let that sink in for a moment. Sobering thought isn't it? With this fact, and the fact that CL Taylor has had her own experience of being a victim of stalking, it is no wonder that, although very much fiction, Every Move You Make, has an air of tragic authenticity about it. From the very opening scene we are forced into the perspective of the victim and it is not a comfortable or pleasant place to be. It is not a chapter drowning in violence, it doesn't need to be, although it does lead us to that precipice, but it does have the sense of expectation and nervousness, and you can feel the trepidation building to outright fear of the all-too-soon-to-be victim. It seems all too inevitable that some great injustice is about to happen, and we are powerless to stop it, but compelled to read onwards. And read on I did.

After that shocking opening we meet the four main protagonists of this story - stalking victims Alex, Lucy, Bridget and River who are united via an offshoot from an online stalker support group. The author has been very clever here as although they are all victims in their own ways, there are elements of their characters which mean that they aren't all automatically sympathetic. Absolutely I felt for their position, and when a very overt threat is made against one of them, that feeling of unease and being on tenterhooks only grows stronger, as does that sense of mistrust. There are those natural character quirks that we all have, that give them each a believability, but which also led me to question some of their decisions and actions. And the more we learn about each of them in turn, the more questions lingered in the mind. But is this a clever poly by the author to create suspicion, or the natural predicament of many victims? That the charm and apparently rational behaviour of the stalker verses the reaction - or sometimes perceived irrational overreaction - of the victim actually turns us toward victim blaming?

There are many tense moments in this book, that building sense of characters needing to look over their shoulder, or of being watched from the shadow. Some of the stalkers were more brazen than others, leading to a particularly uncomfortable situation for one of the group and for readers. this also adds to that real sense of danger and perhaps the inevitable moment that the whole book as been building towards. There are certainly many scenes where the pace picks up to frantic levels, where the risks taken are high and the threat is far more obvious than before. There are some violent scenes toward the end - none of which are overly descriptive - but which create that sense of urgency and fear that drives the various antagonists in their obsession.

This is a carefully crafted thriller which really brings the position of a stalkers victim to the fore. Yes, there are times when you may question their decision making, but in similar scenarios, how many of us can really say they'd act differently. Many stalkers use fear and manipulation to control their victims and this is laid out so clearly in this book. But I love the way in which the author has manipulated us as readers too, as it left me in a bit of dilemma. From time to time my trust of the fearful four wavered, and with so many clues pointing towards one outcome, so did my conviction over certain people's innocence or guilt. I never felt relaxed as I read this book, always expecting something to happen - although perhaps not quite down the path that CL Taylor ultimately leads us.

It's an entirely engrossing story, teeming with disquiet, and certainly one that will make you think. Another classic and sure fire hit from an author who really likes to rattle the nerves of her readers.

I have read all of CL Taylor's books and I'm a huge fan. I've been waiting to read this for ages and it lived up to all my expectations. It's based around a whatsapp group of stalker survivors who decide to take matters into their own hands. Once you get your head around whose stalker is whose it gets a lot easier. Not all the characters are likeable, some grown on you and this is what keeps you interested.the scenarios in the story are Intense and quite frightening and it really makes the author note at the end more emotional.
What a book!

I really wanted to love this book but although I enjoyed it I didn’t love it, but that’s down to me rather than the author. There are a lot of characters , which meant I didn’t really think I got to know them in a depth so it meant although I found the subject of stalking terrifying I didn’t care about what was happening to the characters as much as I would have liked. Although the plot and pace meant this book made for a quick read and I can see why there are so many five star reviews

This book weaves back and too between different characters. You’ll keep changing your mind about who has done what and why. The twist was clever and I didn’t see it coming at all. Very good.
