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)

I really enjoyed this book! I felt like I was watching a mix between a thriller movie and a true crime documentary. You get point of views from different victims which I loved. This book kept me interested and entertained for sure!

Ask for Andrea is a little different from a typical thriller. I wasn’t sure if I would like it because I don’t typically like books with ghosts in them. I did enjoy it, but there were parts that kinda dragged out. I do love this author and have read several of her books. This one was not my favorite of hers, but it was still interesting and I kept wanting to read it to the end to find out what happened.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

I loved this thriller. It was unlike anything I had ever read before. Definitely a Ted Bundy type of killer vibe with POVs from the different victims and their continued stories after their deaths. I loved the exploration of afterlife and memories. This was my second Noelle Ihili book and both were a 5 star read for me. This review was my honest review with special thank you to the publisher, Kensington Publisher for a free copy of the book.

This book had an interesting plot. Something I had never seen in a thriller before. It was a good book and it kept me interested in finding out what happened to the characters. There were a couple of parts that were predictable, but for the most part, it was good. I would suggest it to fellow readers.

This book was an absolute delight to read! It had everything I look for — engaging writing, memorable characters, and a story that stayed with me long after I turned the last page. The author’s voice is distinct and compelling, making it easy to get lost in the world they created, no matter the genre.
I'm incredibly grateful to the publisher for the early copy. It was such a joy to read this in advance, and I can’t wait for more readers to experience it. Highly recommend!

Three women, Meghan, Brecia, and Skye, were all murdered by the same man who preyed on them online. Despite his charming facade, he has a history of killing his first dates.
This book is the reason why I never bother reading the blurb - I just dive right in based on the cover and the fact that one of my favorite authors wrote it. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The surprise factor and unexpected atmosphere had me hooked from the start.
I can't stop thinking about this book - it was clever, suspenseful, and incredibly well-written. The characters were so likable, and the writing style was just fantastic. While we may think that certain things could happen in real life, reading about them still gave me goosebumps. I was thoroughly impressed!
Despite the sadness of the story, I loved how the girls stuck together and sought revenge on the perpetrator. It really warmed my heart in a way. Girl power at its finest!
The setting was vividly described, and the details about what happened to the body had me wondering if the author had witnessed an animal dissection or spoken to medical students. Those little details were actually quite fascinating!
If you're into fast-paced reads with a hint of paranormal activity, unexpected friendships, and twisted situations that you just can't put down, then this book is must-read. Trust me, you'll be thinking about it long after you've finished. I connected with this book on a deep level! I know there was an edition released a few years back, but this exclusive edition is definitely worth checking out. Give it a read someday - you won't regret it!
Thank you, Kensington, for the digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I wasn’t too sure how the author was going to play out this book because I wasn’t a fan of the concept of ghosts coming back for their killer. It just seemed too unrealistic to me. But I was wrong. Each girl had a story to tell and the author did a good job at it. It was a very different take given I typically only read books from the murders or victims perspective while still alive, obviously. However, I thought some points of the book dragged on for a while and I didn’t like that. Some parts also seemed to mesh together too much and I was getting confused with which girl was which.

three women are murdered by the same man; they find each other in the afterlife and they won't rest until they find a way to stop their killer.

I really enjoyed this! I don't normally love a paranormal book but this one gripped me.
Meghan, Brecia, and Skye have one thing in common: they were all lured, charmed, and murdered by the same man. He hunts online, posing as the perfect date—handsome, attentive, deadly.
The story follows the trio of women as they navigate their own deaths. Eventually they find each other in the afterlife. And they’re not done fighting. Because he’s still out there—and they’re determined to stop him before he kills again.
Brecia, Skye and Meghan each have different reactions to their murders but for each of them their sorrow and frustration is palpable - and relatable. This was so well done.
However, I do wish they had more distinguished voices. It's easy to lose track of who is who - and whose perspective you're reading especially early on.
Overall a harrowing commentary on women's safety today. Whether you're in a public space or at home, whether someone appears like a nice stranger or is known to you, whether you live free or cautiously - the world can be a dangerous place for any woman.
Started with slow/steady pacing which picks up towards the end.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
