Thank you Netgalley!!!

Someone knows is an espectacular novel. It's packed with unexpected and twisted plot twists that you definitely don't see coming. From the very beginning, I immediately connected with the protagonist; I empathized with her deeply and found myself going a little crazy alongside her.

The story is incredibly addictive and never loses momentum. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, constantly making you question everyone and everything around you.

What I love most is how the author masterfully uses psychological games to manipulate the reader into believing one thing and then presenting completely outrageous hypotheses. It's a thrilling experience from start to finish!

This was a fun thriller with a lot of twists. A few I saw coming, but there were definitely some surprises. Great book for fans of the teacher.

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.

If you’re in the mood for a fast paced, gripping thriller, with just a sprinkle of unbelievability then this would be it. Someone. Knows tells the story of Elizabeth. She’s currently an English professor in New York City whose past comes back to haunt her. One of her students submits the beginnings of a novel for their creative writing class that very closely resembles Elizabeth’s childhood. Who is the student and what is it that she knows? Elizabeth makes the trek to Louisiana to find out

This book definitely had me turning pages. It moved just slow enough for me to continuously want more. The pacing was perfect. As an example, Elizabeth receives a note and as opposed to reading that note right away, she discards it for later. I just wanted to know what was in the note. It was those kind of things that kept making me want to read more. There is a little bit of suspending your disbelief, but not to the point of unbelievable, which is great, especially in this genre.

I would definitely recommend this and look forward to reading more from this author.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

Wow! Wow! Wow! This may very well be my favorite book I've read so far this year! I've always been a fan of the author but this book was something very different.

I was hooked the minute I read the blurb, and knew I had to read it ASAP! And I wasn't disappointed, it even exceeded my expectations by so much.

Once I started reading, I found it impossible to put it down. I was kept on the edge of my seat right up to the end. And OMG! That ending I never saw coming!

I’ve read a lot of Vi Keeland books and was excited that she started writing thrillers, which is my favorite genre. This book did not disappoint. Kept me engaged through the entire book. I did figure out one of the twists, but that did not take away from how much I enjoyed the book. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC.

Someone Knows is the first book I have read from Vi Keeland and I was not disappointed!

The book follows Elizabeth, who is a professor teaching a creative writing course for the summer session. As she begins to read one student’s paper, she soon realizes that everything she already knows everything that will be happening in the story… because it is her past.

Every time she receives a new chapter, a new twist is revealed. This kept me guessing up until the very end!

My review ARC was provided by the publisher, Atria Books via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

well this was INSANE!! Very disturbing but insanely good.

Elizabeth is a an English professor who starts receiving chapters of a story that recount events that actually happened to her. Very disturbing events. Throughout the book Elizabeth is trying to figure out who is sending her these chapters and let me tell you, I never got it right. Everyone was suspicious to me 🫵🏻

The beginning is a little slow but once the story picks up, its full speed ahead and I couldn't put it down. There's a big twist about halfway through the book that I never saw coming. I thought the plot was very unique and the main character is definitely complex. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a fast-paced read!

As a huge fan of Vi Keeland's romance books - I was SO excited to give this book a chance. Unfortunately it wasn't my favourite, however it was a really quick read for me - just took a little bit longer for me to get into the story.

I really liked this book. From trying to figure out who was writing her story to what actually happened back in the past it kept my attention the whole time. Also the cover was perfect for this book it kept with the theme of the book and I personally think it will really pop on book shelves in bookstores.

I’ve been a big fan of Vi Keeland's work, especially after reading The Unraveling, so I was excited to dive into Someone Knows. As soon as I started, I was hooked by the suspense and the complexity of the storyline. I love that she’s stepped into the thriller genre, and this book did not disappoint—though I will admit, I thought I had it all figured out at around 57%.

The premise of Someone Knows immediately grabbed my attention. It’s about a woman named Elisabeth who is forced to confront a past she’s tried to bury for years when a student of hers starts dending her chapters of a book she is writing. And those chapters tell a story that Elisabeth knows all too well. There’s a heavy sense of mystery from the start, and the twists come fast and furious.

At first, I thought I had pegged where the story was going. Around the 57% mark, I had a solid theory about the big twist and was confident that I could predict the outcome. But Vi Keeland is a master at keeping readers on their toes.The psychological tension in this book is brilliant; Keeland weaves a web of uncertainty, and I found myself constantly questioning the characters' true motivations and what they were hiding.

The pacing of Someone Knows is well done. There’s a steady build-up of suspense as Elisabeth travels between her home town and New York. As secrets start surfacing, I found myself becoming more invested in uncovering the truth, and when the twists hit, they were both shocking and satisfying. The book kept me guessing, and even though I thought I had it figured out, the final reveal was one I did not see coming.

I really appreciated how Keeland created such a gripping atmosphere. There’s an underlying sense of dread throughout the novel, and the psychological depth of the characters added layers to the suspense. Elisabeth is a compelling character who grapples with her past in a way that makes her both sympathetic and unpredictable.

In the end, Someone Knows delivered. The tension, the twists, and the characters’ emotional journeys kept me engaged until the very last page. If you’re looking for a thrilling, twist-filled ride that will keep you guessing, this book is definitely worth the read. Vi Keeland’s foray into the thriller genre proves she’s more than just a romance author—she’s a storyteller capable of keeping readers on the edge of their seats

I wanted to love this, as I’ve loved all the other Vi Keeland books I’ve read, but I’m much more of a Vi Keeland romance fan than a fan of her thrillers. This story of a teacher bamboozled by a student paper that seems to know all about a crime she was involved with 20 years ago starts with great premise: An anonymous threat, a detached protagonist, a little steam, and a return home to a town full of secrets. Where this one lost me was on the big reveal, which seems to have been added to explain a piece of the set-up but not investigated anywhere else in the novel. There were other storylines and characters thrown around but not given a resolution. Add to the mix that the ending of this one feels VERY familiar to readers of her last thriller, The Unravelling, and you have a book with a lot of promise but needed another pass in the details, filling some of the unanswered gaps at the end that the protagonist too easily puts to rest without closure.

After reading and loving THE UNRAVELING by Vi Keeland, I couldn’t wait to read her next spicy thriller! This book was another “what did I just read!?” It is a story that continues to spiral (in the best way) leaving you questioning your instincts. I found some parts predictable, however, that didn’t take away from this fast-paced and unsettling book! Plus the ending is a banger!

This is a read in less than 24 hour, eyes glued to the page type of book you won’t want to miss! Coming this summer!

A fun thriller!
Full of twists and turns throughout.
The concept of this story is really unique. I can't think of another thriller with the same plot.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

I really did not see the book ending the way that it did. I thought I had who was the one following her and writing the chapters to make her think all figured out. The twists definitely got me though. They have always said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I haven't decided how I feel about the one that ends up being the one writing those chapters and knowing what she did. I also wonder why she didn't remember her nickname until she looked it up? She should have just stuck with her gut in the first place.

This one is a true enigma for me. On the one hand, Vi Keeland is an automatic one click author. I've loved SO many of her contemporary romance works, and when she first announced she was branching into the Psychological Thriller genre, I was on board 100% since that is one of my most favorite genres to read.

This story is billed as a psychological thriller, and while I agree it is heavy on the psychological, I didn't find it to be a thriller. Yes, someone is sending Elizabeth chapters of a story that actually happened to her when she was a teenager, and she spirals into a state of paranoia, amongst other things, but the story didn't have much of the thriller aspect.

Even though Elizabeth is an English Professor at a local college, she really is pretty much a hot mess, much like the female character was in The Unravelling. There were several places in this story that I wanted to pull Elizabeth to the side and ask her what the heck she was doing! Several times she puts herself into an unsafe situation, making rash decisions without thinking through the consequences. The way she treated the people all around her was awful, using ones she knew had true feelings for her, and then pushing them away when they serve no further purpose. Elizabeth was a pretty unlikeable character to me, but if that was Vi's intentions when she created her, she did a great job!

I was super intrigued with Noah, a character that she truly should never have even started talking to. Another reason why she made so many questionable choices. Once you read this book, you'll understand what I'm talking about. There were a few other characters that I think were thrown in to be red herrings, which was brilliant because I couldn't stop thinking about who I thought was behind sending the chapters to Elizabeth.

I admit I couldn't put this book down, needing to know what was going to happen next, but at the same time, a bit frustrated with the execution of how revelations, and the big twist(s) came to light. I had to reread several chapters and go back to different sections of story to make sure I was comprehending what was being implied on the pages. I think I figured it all out, but this really is not my strong suit. I don't often read between the lines very well. I particularly enjoyed the last two chapters, which really brought the whole story full circle. But it also brought up a ton of questions that we never get answers to, so I still feel a bit frustrated at the close and need a spoiler group I can ask questions in to make sure I grasped everything that Vi was laying down.

Overall, I did enjoy the story, it kept me very engaged, but I didn't enjoy how some things were revealed, and didn't particularly care much for Elizabeth, although in the last few chapters, she did grow on me a bit, but it was too little, too late. I also couldn't figure out what the reader was supposed to glean from her obvious distaste for church and religion. It seemed to play a very large part in this story, with her mother often telling her to go to confession. Was it supposed to show how hypocritical people are? Again, I'm not good at trying to figure these types of things out.

I know this story is going to live rent free in my head for a long while to come, because there are so many things I still have questions about. It makes me wonder if there's going to be a book 2, or if I need to start picking people's brains to make sure I caught everything that I was supposed to.

Also, as many others have mentioned in their reviews, if you have triggers of any kind, please know there are several triggering topics that occur throughout this story, so take that into consideration.

Absolutely loved this thriller - lots of twists, with a complex main character. Would recommend as a great summer beach read!
