When Jenna helps Allie, a distressed passenger on a train, it's the start of a nightmare. It soon becomes clear the Allie has ulterior motives while Jenna comes across as too trusting and naive. Before long, Jenna fears for her sanity with her marriage, family and job at risk. This is a fast-paced, twisty thriller that had me hooked from the first page. I was not prepared for the sad and shocking ending which seemed a bit rushed.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Oh boy. This is one of those books where a woman inserts herself into another’s life and tries to take over. The main character doesn’t have a clue or constantly doubts herself until it’s too late and by that point, not a single person in her life believes her. There have been so many stories like this and I wish I’d known that because I wouldn’t have read it.

This one’s even worse because the main character, Jenna, is autistic and gets overwhelmed by more than most people to begin with, so in a situation like this it’s a complete cluster. Add to that her mother with mental health issues and for the entire story, Jenna is in a terribly panicked stressful state and that’s not exactly a fun story to immerse yourself in.

So I was so happy when I got to the end and thought it was finally going to resolve with the typical apologetic family and friends gathered around when they discovered the truth, but…no, that’s not what happens. And honestly, it seems like the author couldn’t figure out a good ending so went with something that’s supposed to blow your mind. I can’t say more without spoilers, but my mind was not blown, it was angry. It just left so many unanswered questions and made me feel like I wasted my time. Feel free to decide for yourself but read at your own risk!

This author has once again delivered a complex, nail biter of a plot fully supported by intriguing characters and amazing writing. This book will keep you guessing throughout - who is the reliable narrator? What is the truth and will it ever be revealed? I have liked everything this author has written but this is perhaps the most tense and gripping reading experience they have offered to date.

Oooh such a great read!!! So much going on and the twist was brilliant. I couldn't put this book diwn that's how engrossed I was into the storyline. Each character had a perfect place in the storyline. I loved this

Thanks to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an early release of this book.

Are you ready for a nail biting read? Watch out for The Woman on Platform 8 by MA Hunter. It was a five star read.

Love Hunter's books. and this one is beyond crazy! Jenna and Brett are married with two young children when meets Allie on the train. Allie claims she's been abused and mutters, "I think I killed my boyfriend!" Of course Jenna steps in to help, even inviting her home to stay with them. But when Allie begins to insinuate herself in their lives--and even gets a job where Jenna works--things get dicey! This is a crazy, head-spinning novel that kept me gasping until the bitter end!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Wow... what a page-turner. Twists and turns right up to the end and the biggest shock of all.

I was gripped from the very first page. About halfway through I thought I had it worked out, but l was wrong. Very, very wrong. Absolutely, adrenaline-pumpingly brilliant this book was!

What a final twist ending. I didn't see that coming! Fantastic. I loved the main character Jenna a fantastic advocate for neurodivergent people!


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars from me!

She looks terrified! I feel compelled to help her, and against my better judgement I stand up and move towards her. It's then the illusion crumbles. Her name's not Lucia, but Allie. Not a model, but a woman in dire need of help. She tells me she's in danger, that she's done something dreadful and I don't know why I do it, but I promise to keep her safe. But I shouldn't make promises I know I can't keep! Great read! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It had chilling suspense, mystery, serious gaslighting, intrigue, and some wild twists and turns! I’m not too sure about that ending!! Geez!! The storyline was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me! Can’t wait for more!
