I was so graciously given an ARC of this title. It's been on my TBR list for awhile.

Had me hooked from chapter one. WOWWWWWW!!!! Amazing book!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another fantastic book by Noelle W. Ihli. This book had me on the edge of my seat throughout. I really enjoyed the varied perspectives of the victims and their storytelling.

Thank you to the Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this and flew through it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC!

Ask For Andrea is an engaging and thoughtfully written book that offers readers a memorable experience. The story is well-paced, with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and the author does an excellent job developing the characters and setting.

The writing style is accessible yet expressive, pulling readers into the world of the story. Whether you're looking for emotional depth, intriguing plot twists, or vivid world-building, this book has something to offer. While there may be a few minor flaws—perhaps some slow sections or underdeveloped subplots—they don't significantly detract from the overall enjoyment.

Ask for Andrea is a triumph of a novel. An amazing story and the characters were immense. Had to finish it in a day so I could find out what happened

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the advanced copy of this book! I enjoyed the different concept of this book coming from the victims perspective. I’m not a gram of ghost books but this one proved me wrong! I enjoyed the different timelines!

I was on edge throughout this whole thing.
Frustrated and yelling at the characters was me the entire time.

I enjoyed it and the hook of it all but also felt it was missing something. Like it was on the cusp of being something fantastic but it just didn't reach that far.

Overall good read and id recommend

Noelle Ihli has quickly become one of my favorite authors! I love her writing style - she can pull off a fast paced thriller and when I dive into her books I am always sucked in and can’t put them down!
I’ve been wanting to read this one for awhile and was so excited for the Netgalley ARC. It didn’t disappoint. I loved the unique perspective from the deceased’s point of view. Them banding together at the end and messing with him was too good. Overall another fast paced, binge-able read!

This paranormal thriller kept me turning pages! A killer, James Carson, uses an online dating website to stalk and lure women their deaths. This story is told from 3 POVs. Each POV is a different female who talks with Carson. The women are Meghan, Brecia, and Skye. Their murders span a three year time period, After the women are murdered, they remain on earth as ghosts. They try to use their paranormal capabilities to stop Carson from killing again. I appreciate the eeriness of this novel. It reminds me of Freida McFadden and S B Caves.

Thank you #NetGalley, #NoelleWIhli, and #KensingtonPublishing for my free eARC. This review is my honest opinion.

This book is intense, emotional, and completely unforgettable. Ask for Andrea tells the story of three women—after death—as they try to piece together what happened and prevent others from meeting the same fate. It’s creepy in the best way, with a unique perspective that makes it stand out from other thrillers.

The writing is sharp, the pacing is quick, and the emotional depth really hits hard. It’s not just a horror story—it’s a powerful reminder about listening, paying attention to red flags, and the stories that often go unheard. Highly recommend if you’re into true-crime-inspired fiction with a meaningful twist.

You won’t put it down!!

My Rating: 4.6 Emotional Stars
Pages 304

Story is told form the POV of three women.
Meghan, Brecia, and Skye were killed at different times however they have found each other and are united in a cause- that is to find a way to stop the man who killed them!
That would be James Carson!
He searches for his victims online. He acts like the perfect gentleman. Meghan called Jimmy “the Needle’ to her friends- as a needle in deep haystack of bachelors on the MatchStrike App. He is sweet and soft spoken. However, Meghan is murdered on their first date. Brecia was killed two years and Skye is the most recent.

Twenty-three years ago I read [author: Alice Sebold]‘s [book: The Lovely Bones]. The story is told by fourteen year old Suzie Salmon who was raped and murdered by a neighborhood man whose yard she crossed to go to school. It is told from Suzie in heaven and her quest for the man George Harvey to get caught and pay for what he had done.

This story is more involved and the ask part totally had me on the edge of seat.
So although “The lovely Bones” is similar in the idea of the murder victim trying to bring closure to their death- is indeed is different!

About the Author ~ Noelle W. Ihli - pronounced noh-EL EYE-lee.
Noelle’s two great passions are murder and horses (separately, never together).
She lives in Idaho with her husband, two sons, and two cats. When she's not plotting her next thriller, she's scaring herself with true-crime
documentaries or going for a trail ride in the foothills (with her trusty pepper spray).

The story is entitle “Ask for Andrea’ There is a sign on the mirror in the Ladies’ restroom at the local tavern- It states if you feel unsafe or even uneasy – ask for Andrea at the bar and we’ll make sure you get home safe.
I am not aware if bars really have this sign or one similar but should!

Ask for Andrea is a dark, gripping thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The premise is chilling: a man who hunts women online, and the ghostly voices of his victims seeking justice. The alternating perspectives between the living and the dead give the story an eerie, unique twist that really drew me in. While the pacing is strong and the suspense builds wonderfully, I did feel that some character development could have been deeper. Still, the tension and haunting atmosphere make this an engrossing read that will stick with you long after you finish.

Can you seek vengeance when you are dead? This was the interesting premise of Ask for Andrea where the ghosts of three murdered women try to bring their killer to justice. It’s an interesting exploration of the police and community blind spots in perceiving perpetrators of violence against women but also very, very creepy.

A fantastic book. It was emotional and the ending was tense and had me gripping the pages. The character developments were well-executed and I was engaged with each of their stories. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to recommend it to my customers.

The concept for this book was brilliant. We have three characters who have all been murdered by the same man. Each chapter moves point of view and we get to know all three of the girls and what happened to them. Brecia stays with him, his wife and kids in the hope of finding a way to stop him.
However, it isn’t just a tale of revenge. All of the girls have their own story to tell and there are some sad parts when they have to see the aftermath of their deaths.
A fresh twist on a serial killer story.

The way my eyes couldn't read last enough to keep up with the pace of this book!
The pace, the stress, the suspense, the frustration, I loved it all!
💪 The way I literally fist pumped at the end of Chapter 28! This book brought out a lot of emotions in me.
Such a good read, I'm obsessed and can't wait to read more Noelle Ihli

I truly can't believe I had been sleeping on this title for so long. From the very beginning, the story pulled me in with its fresh, unflinching perspective on a dark subject. The story is oddly refreshing, given the subject matter. Rather than relying on sensationalism, the narrative dives into the characters' experiences with raw honesty and vulnerability, giving voices to people who are often overlooked in this genre. I found myself fully invested, not just in the outcome of the story, but in the journeys of the characters themselves. Their resilience, heartbreak, and quiet strength stayed with me in a way that few books manage to achieve.

Ask for Andrea is a powerful reminder that sometimes the darkest stories are the ones that shine the brightest light on humanity. I absolutely loved this one and would recommend it to all thriller lovers.

Told through the perspective of the victims Ask For Andrea is an emotional thriller as the three women try to use their position to stop more murders from taking place. Ihli employs multiple point of views effectively, giving the reader backstory to each character and then interweaving their stories. The world between life and death allows for a fascinating narrative

This book is both haunting and extremely intense, right from the very beginning! This fictional thriller made my heart race and filled me with anxiety. Written in three different women’s terrifying perspectives, this is a full on psychological thriller. It goes through different timelines, as we learn about these women. It was fast paced, well structured and had a very clear thesis. This book comes with female rage, vengeance and a satisfying ending! It has a strong villain and supernatural twists! It is filled with sadness, heartbreak, horror, tension and fear.

“Ask For Andrea” is about a guy that portrays himself to be harmless and extremely charming. However, he is far from what he claims to be. He murders three different women and these women are out to haunt him, so he can stop from murdering more women. This is a very unique concept and I really enjoyed reading it! Overall, I give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Content warnings include murder, death, violence, sexual assault, domestic abuse, rape and stalking.

I would recommend this book to people that like to read the authors S.T. Abby, Freida McFadden and Mark Edwards!

🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ask for Andrea by Noelle W. Ihli is a suspenseful murder mystery with a dash of the paranormal. Meghan, Brecia, and Skye have just one thing in common: they were all murdered by the same man. He hunted them online, masquerading as an eligible bachelor. Then, he played the perfect gentleman, a thick layer of charm and a thousand-watt smile hiding the fact that his first dates end in shallow graves.

This story was so good. I liked how we got multiple POVs, which gave the book depth and helped the reader understand what was going on.

Thank you, NetGalley, and Kensington Publishing for the ebook in exchange for my honest review.
