This book was so good the more you read the more you’re hooked. Elizabeth is an English professor in NY and she avoids attachments. She is teaching a summer course. She begins receiving work from a student eerily similar to a story from her past. I enjoyed the layers we get current day, the chapters and bits of her past. When she returns to her hometown to see her mom more memories come back. It’s a wild twisted ride

I loved The Unraveling, so I was super excited to be able to read Vi Keeland's new thriller. It was quick, held my attention, had a little spice, some good twists, and I loved the ending. Definitely recommend!

As a long time reader of Vi Keeland's romance titles, I was so curious to see how her thriller titles compared and she did not disappoint. Someone Knows follows Elizabeth, a creative writing professor, through a journey back through her forgotten past. The book takes you down many unexpected paths and is one I couldn't put down. The ending isn't as tidy as I like my endings, but that is a me problem, not a book problem. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this digital copy. I highly recommend this fast paced page turner!

4.5/5

This book grabbed my attention immediately. The twists were so good. The ending of the book had my mouth dropping.
Vi Keeland didn’t disappoint with this thriller.

The characters were so well written! Hannah is a professor who went through a trauma with her friend group. She has a complicated relationship with her mom. She meets Noah when she returns home to see her mom and do some investigations. Noah is linked to her past.

I know I’ll be thinking of this book for a while!

This book was so good! It has me hooked from the very beginning. The pacing was just right and the twists came at just the right time. It was so hard to put down because I was so engaged!

This was my first book by Keeland and it won’t be my last! I was so hooked to this book & couldn’t put it down! I loved the paranoia & suspicion making everyone look guilty. The Hannah chapters were such a good touch & really gave us a sense of what happened those twenty years ago. I will admit, the ending had me slightly bummed (because we were rooting for them!!) but it was still fantastic!!
Thank you so much Netgalley for the ARC of this insane book!

Gotta love a fast paced twisty thriller. This one flies and doesn’t let up. I had that “I think I know what’s coming” feeling a couple times, but it didn’t ruin the story for me. I thought the ending was tied up well enough until that final chapter. You hurt my heart Vi! I really wasn’t expecting it. I guess that’s how it should be though. If you’ve got it all figured out then where’s the suspense? Maybe I’ll just pretend I didn’t read it and everyone lived happily ever after. Nah.. what’s done is done.

If you enjoyed the author’s last thriller, The Unraveling, give this one a try. And if you haven’t read it, add it to your TBR list. Definitely an author to put on your radar. Keep em’ coming Vi!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

She did it yet again no shocker there. What a ride this one was! Multiple twists and turns that take you down paths you had LITERALLY no idea you were about to embark on. I had a blast with it, and it knocked me on my tosh lol. Definitely recommend! Elizabeth is a thirty-seven year old English professor. She’s single, no kids and as far as her dating life…. She’s a free spirit who is living out her desires. In other words, she doesn’t want to be tied down. A student emails her writing assignment to Elizabeth. As the professor is reading the story, she realizes the story is nothing of fiction. She knows this story and has spent her whole life trying to forget it. Suddenly, her whole world is about to come crashing down.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book.

I wanted to like this book. I really did. But I could not stand the MC. I found her to be SO superficial and I honestly could not feel any empathy for her. I also felt the writing of the book itself was very elementary and I really enjoyed the author's last book too. This was a miss for me.

Twists and turns and built up suspense in this enthralling read which keeps you guessing until the last second and then afterwards. Highly recommended!!

I read the previous thriller by Vi Keeland, loved the book very much, and couldn't wait to get my hands on this second one. Someone Knows, published by Atria Books is a pageturner of its finest.
Elizabeth is a college professor. Reading a novel, her past from 20 years ago shows up, threatening her career and her whole future.
I loved The Unraveling, but Someone KNows is even better. The suspense, twists andturns, drama laden action packed, I was guessing till the very last page.
I recommend the book that deserves all the stars.

That last chapter was so uncalled for 😪😪😪😂😂😂

I knew I had to read this book after loving the authors last thriller book and it did not disappoint! Also the cover is gorgeous what a stunning colour!

I loved how this book was formatted into present day POV contrasted by written chapters from a book detailing real life events from the main characters past. This caused her to revisit her past and race to find out exactly who was sending her these chapters and who knew the secrets she’d buried for the last twenty years.

I also loved the contrast between living in the big cory and small town life, and seeing what could cause somebody to want to escape from one extreme to the other.

The parts about the main character being a university professor as her career actually made me consider I’d this would be a job that’s of interest to me so I love that it opened my mind to potential opportunities.

I can’t wait for the authors next thriller genre I love how she always includes a splash of spicy scenes in her thrillers.

Thank you to Atria Books and Vi Keeland for the earc!

This book is kept me guessing until the very end. The story is full of unexpected twists, making it impossible to put down. Beyond the suspense, the book touches on sensitive topics that offer deep insight into what the main character has endured, adding layers of emotion and complexity to the mystery. Just when I thought I had it figured out, the story surprised me again. The ending was completely unexpected and left me wanting more.

Thank you, #Partner @atriabooks, @netgalley, and #emilybestlerbooks for my #gifted (free) copy. Pub date 6/17/25.

#Vikeeland may be a romance writer, but she sure knows how to write an excellent thriller with a little spice. I loved her previous thriller, "The Unraveling," and I was so excited to get this one early, and it did not disappoint. This one is definitely a nail- biter, and I couldn't flip the pages fast enough. Just a warning this book is a little disturbing at times, so check the trigger warnings. Any thriller that Vi writes, I will for sure be reading!

May 20th is the day Elizabeth will never forget. It's the day she killed her best friends abuser when they were teenagers. Elizabeth is now a college professor, and when one of her students in her creative writing class turns in their writing assignment, Elizabeth is shocked. It's about a chapter of her best friends life to a T. As she keeps getting emails of new chapters, Elizabeth knows exactly how the story will end, but it's impossible that anyone else knows the story, or is it?

This was my second Vi Keeland book. I’ve only read her thrillers and thoroughly enjoyed them both.

“Someone Knows” was interesting and had me flying through the pages in a frantic search for answers. When I read the last chapter my jaw dropped. Everything came together well and I can’t wait to read future thrillers by this author.

This was my first book by Vi Keeland but it definitely won’t be my last! It kept me enthralled from beginning to end.

Well hold on right there Ms. Keeland!!!! I want more thrillers from you ASAP !

I have enjoyed Vi Keeland’s romance books in the past, the banter has always been fun and entertaining. But this thriller was definitely not expected and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Not only did she managed to end the story with a nice twist, but also had me in an emotional chokehold there for a moment. Nice work!!
