Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens is a suspenseful and twisty ride of a tale that will leave you a bit spooked if you're reading it at night while home alone. This book is told in both the present tense as well as flashbacks over the years that Lindsey was married to her controlling and abusive husband, Andrew. Lindsey and her daughter had run and left Andrew in the middle of the night. They've managed to remain hidden from him but now he's found them and won't leave them alone. Lindsey relies on her brother and friends to keep her safe and sane but will they be enough to protect her? Enjoy!

This is the first book I've read by Chevy Stevens and it won't be the last. Throughout the entire read, I was held in suspense. Lindsey and Sophie seems to have a penchant for drawing the wrong men to them. Who's wrong and who's right? You will have to read to find out. Never Let You Go was a suited title. Topics ranged from obsession to forgiveness and everything in between. A superb read and well-crafted fiction. Sometimes you never really know a person so the only person you have to get to know is yourself. Sophie and Lindsey's story had depth. Chevy Stevens crafted this story with the right amount of skill and intrigue to keep you turning/swiping the pages until the end.

Chevy Stevens knows how to get the blood pumping. And, she is a master at creating story that will leave readers on edge from beginning to end. In Never Let You Go, this is no different. With that being said, this is a fantastic novel! It's compelling, thought provoking, and even unexpected in some parts. This is especially true at the end which was dangerously good... Fans of the author and those who enjoy psychological thrillers will want to pick up Stevens' latest novel (releasing in March). That is of course, if you enjoy books that will mess with your mind and leave your mouth gaping open with the surprising twists and turns it has...

ARC requested through Netgalley, and kindly provided by St. Martin's Press in exchange for an honest review.

As expected, I loved this new book by Chevy Stevens! The story is filled with tension, twists and turns and it was hard to put down. I kept thinking I had it figured out and then something would change and I'd have to keep reading to find out what happens next.

Lindsey Nash has finally found peace when she leaves her abusive husband and he is sent to prison. Ten years later Andrew is released and back to his obsessive behavior. She realizes that she and her daughter, Sophie, are both at risk just as she is finally moving on and dating again. Andrew swears that he's changed but Lindsay is convinced he's to blame for some scary occurrences .The story is told between past and present and alternates between Lindsey and Sophie’s point of view which contributes to the suspicion of multiple characters.

Definitely an ending that I didn't see coming! Highly recommended for fans of physiological thrillers!

Lindsey Nash was in a nightmare of a marriage that nearly destroyed her. Ultimately her ex-husband was arrested on an unrelated crime and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In that time Lindsey and her daughter have started a new life. Having finally found a nice boyfriend, her daughter a high school senior looking at college prospects and a cleaning business that pays her bills, Lindsey is finally happy. Her ex-husband has recently been released from prison and initially Lindsey was hyper-aware of anything and everything, but he hasn't come after her...and then strange things start occurring!!!! Is her ex-husband behind these strange occurrences??!? Does she need to move again?!!? Holy heck!!!!

First off I am kicking myself for having never read Chevy Stevens before!!! Seriously, why the heck did I wait so long?!?? I love a well written mystery/thriller and Ms. Stevens blew me away with this gem!! Every twist and turn was timed perfectly- I honestly never saw most of them coming! My kindle became an extension of my hand because I could put this book down until I finished! Never Let You Go is a solid 5 star read that is a 2017 must read!! The bad news is I didn't want this book to end, but the good news is I am heading to Amazon to 1-click Chevy's prior books pronto!!

Terrifying. Growing up in a house with domestic abuse, Chevy Stevens nailed the tension, pain, fear, anxiety, sadness, and so on experienced via mother and daughter. Ugh. This book's another nail biter!

This was my first Chevy Stevens book, and my first impression is that there is something addicting in her writing. She manages to deliver amazing characters as well as a plot so intriguing, you will not be able put this book down. She had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. Everything is done so beautifully, it's hard not to enjoy it. Her writing allowed me to get into the story in a way that I don't think any book has done in the past.
I am so impressed by it. I don't think there's a person out there that won't enjoy it. And I really look forward to reading the rest of Mrs. Stevens' work.

4 Star review. Review placed on Goodreads.

Another winner by Chevy Stevens; although, this definitely wasn't my favorite of hers. Found it took off fast, but then it slowed down dramatically for me at the end that resulted in it being shelved for me for a bit. Hence, the 4 star review versus my traditional 5 star review for her novels.

Never Let You Go, the latest story by Chevy Stevens should come with a warning: only start when you have the time to read it all! Difficult to put down. It's one of the I'll just read one more chapter books. Soon you are so immersed in the story nothing is going to come between you and this book, you will put your life on hold while you finish reading. Twists and turns and some edge of your seat moments. I think this might be the best story Ms Stevens has written to date. I was given an early copy to review.

Huge thanks to NetGalley for giving me a complimentary ARC copy of Chevy Stevens' new novel NEVER LET YOU GO

When Lindsey marries Andrew, she doesn't realize he will abuse her. Almost worse than the beatings, he psychologically tortures her. If she ever tells, he'll kill her family and run off with their young daughter. On the night she tries to flee with young Sophie, Andrew kills a woman drunk driving and winds up in prison. But, now he's out, determined to get to know his daughter and exact revenge.

I love Chevy Stevens' novels, her engaging writing style and interesting characters. She does a near perfect job subtly showing the manipulation of the abusers, the grooming and enticement, psychological and financial manipulation, the never-again remorse and promises. Both Lindsey and Sophie narrate alternating chapters, so we see the leery, wary adult and the hopeful teenager, on the cusp of womanhood wanting so badly to believe her father had changed.

NEVER LET YOU GO had many twists and turns, some I saw coming, some surprised me. I never saw motive for the Big Event coming.

The resolution of Sophie and her boyfriend's relationship left me feeling uncomfortable, though I understand why Stevens chose to go in the direction she did.

NEVER LET YOU GO is part mystery, part thriller and part character study. I enjoyed the story think a wide variety of readers will too.

THis book kept me guessing all the way through!! I never suspected who the real culprit was until it was announced!! I thought it totally had to be the ex husband, or the boyfriend, at one point I even thought it was the daughter's bf!! or a stalker!! I totally loved this book an can't wait to read another by this author!!

Another amazing book by Chevy Stevens! She never disappoints! I had a hard time putting this book down to go to sleep at night. Lindsey escapes her abusive and controlling ex-husband with her daughter and starts a new life while he goes away to prison, but then 10 years later he is released and the terror starts up again, the fear and emotions are written so well and it almost makes your skin crawl to put yourself in her shoes, there are several people Lindsey and Sophie are connected to and so you expect a twist but WOW! I didn't see that coming! I'm so grateful to Chevy Stevens, St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for a chance to read an ARC of NEVER LET YOU GO. I'm awestruck again at the genius of Chevy Stevens writing, but then again I love the dark and twisty!

Lindsey thought she had escaped. Just knew it! Then her ex-husband was released from prison. She is being watched..she feels it.

Chevy Stevens is a master at the bob and weave. She always leads you expertly through highs and lows. Lindsey is a character much to be admired. She and her daughter escape an abusive relationship in the middle of the night. She starts her own business and creates a whole new life for herself and her child. She has a boyfriend and a great support group. Then her ex husband turns all of it upside down.

Chevy always adds a twist in her books. I always try to figure them out before it happens. I was oh so close on this one, just didn’t quite make out the connection. There were places in this read I had to stop and catch my breath! This story will almost traumatize you! It takes all your emotions and twists them into knots! This tale moves like a lightening bolt through your brain!

I received this novel from Netgalley for a honest review.

Thank you St Martin's Press and Netgalley for the preview copy of Never Let You Go. Thank you Chevy Stevens for another fantastic story.
I've loved every Chevy Stevens book to date and Never Let You Go didn't disappoint. From the first page I was hooked. It was a tense read and as usual to Chevy Steven’s style there is a great twist to the story.

I have read every book that Chevy Stevens has put out, and I have never been disappointed! This book was in her classic dark & twisty style. The characters were all very likeable and the plot was intriguing. About 60% of the way through, I had an idea about "who-dunnit" but it was still an awesome read getting to the conclusion. I highly recommend!
