The main characters in "Ask for Andrea" are fully realized and compelling, which makes the book an engrossing read. Every character seems well-rounded, and their individual motivations and backstories captivate you. There is a noticeable sense of tension, especially during an exciting chase scene that kept me on the tip of my seat (no spoilers!). Anyone who appreciates tragic ghost stories with a dash of revenge and an overall sense of accomplishment should definitely read this novel, in my opinion. It's the ideal balance of mystery, dedication, and a hint of the paranormal.

This dark, unique, and chilling supernatural ride is guaranteed to give you nightmares—and it’ll linger in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page!

Picture this: three seemingly unconnected young women—
Meghan, who recently matched with a Chris Hemsworth lookalike on a dating app, only for her exciting date to spiral into a nightmare she never saw coming.
Brecia, who ghosted a guy after getting a bad feeling and receiving a torrent of abusive text messages—only to hear someone whisper her name from the shadows outside her house.
And Skye, a hopeful college freshman and part-time barista crushing on a mysterious (and hot) older customer—unaware that her life is about to take a deadly turn.

The thread that ties these women together? They’re all dead.
And worse? They were all murdered by the same despicable man.

His name is James Carson—a monster hiding in plain sight. He uses fake names and photos on a dating app called Matchstick to lure unsuspecting women. He’s a married man with two sweet daughters, living a double life as a charming predator. Meghan and Brecia met him through the app. Skye was just tragically unlucky. But he’s not done. He’s still hunting. Still matching. Still planning his next move.

As Brecia’s ghost lingers in the home where James is living with his family, Meghan haunts Domanska—the determined officer who discovered her remains in the woods. And Skye’s spirit watches from the shadows as her divorced parents unravel while trying to uncover the truth about their missing daughter.

Now, these three women must join forces from beyond the grave. Their killer is still out there—and worse, he may be turning his attention toward his own family. The clock is ticking, and their souls won’t rest until they’ve exposed the truth and brought him to justice.

Can they stop him before he claims more lives? Can the dead finally speak loud enough to be heard?

Overall: This is a gripping, wildly creative, disturbing, and utterly unforgettable blend of psychological suspense and paranormal horror. I highly recommend adding this twisted thriller to your radar—it’s one of those stories that grabs you and refuses to let go. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for providing me with a digital review copy of this brilliant thriller in exchange for my honest thoughts.

This was THE saddest book I have read in a while, I was so surprised! I thought this would be more of a suspenseful mystery but instead it follows the ghosts of three murdered victims and their attempt to stop their murderer from hurting more girls. The story will captivate you but due to the heavy themes, you might need to pause it at times and take a break. The ending was great and overall, the story is so different

This book isn’t your usual thriller... in fact, it flips the genre completely. Most of the story is told from the perspective of women who were murdered by a serial killer, and they stay behind and haunt him. What makes this so fascinating is that you’re following their attempts to stop him from choosing his next victim… all while being stuck as ghosts. It’s one of those books that’s hard to label... it's part thriller, part horror, part literary fiction but never fully any of them. It was fast-paced, emotional, and a wild, fun, gripping ride. My rating isn’t higher purely because of personal taste and expectations. I was hoping for something a little darker, and while it was definitely suspenseful, it didn’t have the kind of plot twists I usually crave (totally get that not every story needs mega twists but it’s just a personal preference). Def recommend this book!

So much fun . A psychological thriller mixed with the Supernatural. Not your typical story . Netgalley and Kensington books publishing sent me this ARC and the book was everything I had dreamed it to be.

As some one that loves both the supernatural and mystery stories as seen as I saw the description I knew this would be a treasure to read. Also this wasn't the first book I had read that Noelli wrote so I knew it would be a treat. I was not disappointed.

Awesome book. At the very beginning I got confused because of the multiple narrators but soon realized how they all interacted and loved the result.

I give it 5 stars . Thank you #Netgalley and #Kensingtonbooks for giving me the ARC so that I could give you my honest review . It was definitely a pleasure.

A fast paced, pulse pounding, ghost story adventure! I've been wanting to read this one for a while now and even though I don't think it really lives up to all the hype, I did enjoy it. The unique perspective, told from the victims who are ghosts now and out for revenge, is what I enjoyed most. Don't expect it to be a twisty thriller, just more of a unique suspenseful ghost story and I think you will be pleased. Looking forward to getting my hands on the new paperback version with deluxe stenciled edges for my collection. My thanks to Kensington Publishing for providing a review copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This one was three and a half stars, rounded up because I liked the ending - but 60% of the book was alternating perspectives that basically felt like I was reading the same thing, and that was a bit repetitive for me. The three protagonists are engaging but they basically had the same experience, and that first more than half of the book relays each of their murders and coming to terms with their deaths, and it did feel like the same story after a while. Once they discovered each other and the three timelines melded, the book got much more interesting.

I enjoyed the ending and found it quite satisfying, as well as the epilogue which you can find on the other's Instagram page. I'm really getting worn out reading about murdered girls though. I don't know if the Ask for Andrea signs are a universal thing or not, but it's starting to get extremely frustrating to see society come up with multiple ways for women to seek help from dangerous men, rather than doing something to address - or prevent - the problem of dangerous men themselves. 🤷‍♀️ It's not the author's job to do this, of course, but I do sometimes despair of the marketplace that continues to make an industry out of reading about the murder of girls. Clearly, I read these books too, but still...

A young woman is about to be killed, strangled, by the man she went out with on a date, but at some point, she thinks she has managed to free herself, to escape, only to discover that she is... dead. Thus begins this intriguing novel in which a man, a charming, interesting man, an apparent Prince Charming, goes out with one woman after another using a dating app. He drugs and abuses them in every way, even murdering them. Three women “wake up” as ghosts and set out on his trail, eventually joining forces when they discover that the monster has a wife and two young daughters who are unaware of what is happening and whose lives are in danger. As I said, an intriguing, well-written novel with excellent pacing and interesting ideas. Perhaps the only flaw is that, after giving a clue about a childhood trauma suffered by the serial killer, it then treats it with excessive levity. Apart from that, a truly excellent work.

First off a big thank you to the publisher Kensington Publishing , as well as to the author Noelle W.Ihli and Netgalley for letting me reading Ask For Andrea and let's not forget a big thank you to my friend who's known as Katie Reads on YouTube for convenience me to pick it as well and omg I'm so glad I did because it reminded me of one of my movies I love to watch over and over again and yep it's based on true crime as well , in fact the movie is based on the killings of the Green River killer and the movie this book kept giving me the vibes of in some ways is called
The Capture of the Green River Killer ( 2008), another thing I love was that each of the girls got to tell their story and you could literally feel their emotions as well as the emotions of their loves ones they left behind. So if you haven't picked it up it , what are you waiting for.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Author for this ARC! I loved this book. Between the 3 main POV’s and them following their killer it was definitely a ride! This book was so good but also sad and tragic. I loved how you got to feel the emotions from each of the girls on what happened to each of them and their emotions after being murdered. Having them all end up coming together towards the end to help get their killer arrested was the cherry on top to their horrible stories! I can’t wait to read more from this author!!

Three women. One killer. Death didn’t silence them, it gave them purpose. Ask for Andrea is a haunting, sharply woven thriller where three murdered women come together as ghosts, desperate to stop a killer still on the hunt.

I loved how each woman’s timeline unravels separately, with their own path and past, before colliding in a way that’s both chilling and brilliant. What starts eerie and unsettling builds into full-blown, heart-racing chaos once they finally find each other. Dark, clever, and painfully real, it’s the kind of story that lingers long after the final page! Loved the full-circle ending that ties perfectly back to where it all began. Unforgettable.

This story gives a different perspective than other thrillers and I ate it up. The story follows the three women who are set out to find the man who murdered them. They all met him in the same fashion, online, and it gives that fear that was all instilled in us as kids to be careful about who you interact with online. This was truly an amazing thriller.

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Gripping, Chilling, and Unforgettable**

*Ask for Andrea* is a chilling, fast-paced thriller that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Noelle W. Ihli weaves a dark and twisty narrative through the voices of three women—each with their own tragic story—that converge around a single predator and a haunting phrase: *Ask for Andrea.*

The structure of the book is clever and engaging, with each woman’s perspective revealing more about the horrifying truth behind their shared connection. Ihli writes with urgency and empathy, giving each character a distinct voice while slowly building the suspense. The emotional weight of the victims’ stories is balanced with a thread of empowerment and justice that makes the conclusion deeply satisfying.

If I had one critique, it would be that a few plot points felt slightly rushed or could have benefited from deeper exploration—but that’s a small note in an otherwise gripping and emotionally resonant read.

Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with a strong feminist undercurrent. I’ll definitely be picking up more from Noelle W. Ihli.

Read this book in one sitting! I loved the different perspectives combining into one. It kept me wondering what would happen next. The man these 3 ladies killed did not think another thing about it. Until those same ladies got involved. How will they stop him when he already murdered them? Keeps you eating this book up!

“Ask for Andrea” gives us a mystery thriller with unique perspectives as we follow the spirits of three women, Meghan, Brecia and Skye, as they collectively try to stop the man who murdered them from doing the same thing again. This was so different from anything I had ever read before and kept me so intrigued and wanting to know what would happen with every single page turn. There was also some bittersweet moments and the end that I feel like you don’t usually get with thrillers (especially from this perspective) and so I actually really appreciated that as well.

This is my third book by Noelle W. Ihli and while I really was not a fan of the first two, this one definitely was a redemption and I look forward to more of her works in the future!

Thank you to Kensington Publishing and NetGalley for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

'Ask for Andrea' by Noelle W. Ihli is one of those rare books that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn’t let go. It’s a chilling blend of crime, suspense, and just the right touch of the paranormal. The story centers around a dangerously charismatic man who uses dating sites to lure women—with sinister intentions—and from there, things only get darker.

What really stood out to me was how well the author built a haunting, lingering atmosphere. The story follows three unforgettable women—Meghan, Skye, and Brecia—each with her own voice and emotional depth. Their individual stories come together in a way that’s both unexpected and powerful, and it’s their presence that really drives the narrative.

The supernatural angle is handled beautifully—it adds a chilling layer to the plot without ever feeling over-the-top. In fact, it enhances the real-world horror at the heart of the story. And the villain? One of the creepiest, most calculated characters I’ve come across in a long time. He’s absolutely unforgettable.

The pacing is excellent. The story flows smoothly, the editing is tight, and each chapter raises the stakes just enough to keep you turning the pages well into the night. I'm delighted to give it a 5 out of 5 star rating. There’s no filler—everything builds toward a satisfying, haunting conclusion.

This book is perfect for fans of dark thrillers with a ghostly twist. It’s smart, suspenseful, and emotionally gripping. Honestly, it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year—and I can’t recommend it enough.

I received this ARC from Netgalley, it’s not one I would usually read but once I got into it I could not put it down! The suspense grabbed and held me to the end. I highly recommend it for all the suspense book lovers out there!

I really enjoyed this book. Thank you to the publishers & Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in advance!

This book had me HOOKED. It contains twists and is very fast paced which I love and knew how to kept me reading right until the very end.

If you love thrillers then this book is definitely the one for you.

Once again thank you to NetGalley for choosing me to voice my thoughts on this book!

"Ask for Andrea" presents a compelling premise: three women—Brecia, Meghan, and Skye—murdered by the same man, unite in the afterlife to prevent further killings. The novel's unique angle, focusing on the victims' perspectives, offers a fresh take on the thriller genre. The supernatural elements, combined with themes of empowerment and justice, are commendable.

However, the execution doesn't fully capitalize on its potential. The narrative structure, alternating between the three protagonists, sometimes leads to confusion, making it challenging to distinguish between the characters. Additionally, the pacing feels uneven; while the initial setup is intriguing, the middle sections drag, and the climax lacks the anticipated intensity.

Despite these shortcomings, the book sheds light on the dangers of online dating and the importance of vigilance, resonating with contemporary societal issues. For readers interested in a thriller that combines ghostly narratives with real-world concerns, Ask for Andrea offers a moderately engaging experience.

When I was approved for a @netgalley copy of Ask For Andrea I couldn't wait to get stuck in! I admit I went in quite blind, but with high expectations, and it did not fall short!

Wow, I was instantly hooked to the story of Brecia , Meghan, and Skye, who we meet in the opening chapters. I know its fiction, but I feel i need to include their names early in my review, their voice and story deserved to be heard just as it would if it were factual.

What set the book apart for me was that their voices and stories are told following their deaths. I wasn't expecting this to work as well as it did, but, wow, the character connection was there!!!

I felt allllll the feelings as I made my way through. At times, it's sad, but it keeps that heart in mouth feeling that a good thriller brings as it comes to its close!

Brilliantly written and thought-provoking, I'm off to add more from @noelleihliauthor to my list!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5)
