"Every Move You Make" is a gripping read that'll make you double-check your locks and think twice about every notification on your phone.

A psychological thriller about stalking, this whodunnit focuses on a self-help group of stalking victims who are receiving targeted threats from one of their stalkers. They initially work together to try and identify the perpetrator but then they start to distrust each other as they get closer to the truth. A compelling, tense and suspenseful story which starts strongly but loses its pace around the half-way mark before reaching a gloriously twisty climax.

With thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy.

This book was enthralling and I was gripped from the first page to the last. I lost count of the number of times my heart was in my mouth and my pulse was racing. Also, I changed my mind about the characters on numerous occasions trying to work out who was behind it all.

Is there anything more scary than having a stalker? Someone who is there at every turn you make and even when they are not you can’t be certain of this. These days the threat posed by a stalker is so much worse than in the past, even in the safety of your own home you can’t escape them as they can stalk your social media profiles, infiltrate your emails or sign up to sites etc. claiming to be you. There is no escape.

It is little wonder therefore that the characters in this book all joined a network online of like minded people and after they had bonded, branched off and started to their own WhatsApp group: They thought they might be able to keep one another safe, or at least sane, but when one of their group (Natalie) is followed home and murdered on her own doorstep, they know that trying to escape is futile. That’s when they decide that just maybe they could turn the tables and instead of being stalked they could become the stalker. They are so desperate that they do not stop to think about the potential consequences and flaws with this plan.

This was an extremely well-written story and one I particularly enjoyed despite the creepiness of the subject. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

4.4 ⭐️

A slow and steady burn of suspense.

“Nat went to the police; she testified in court; she did everything right and he still killed her.”

⚰️ A support group (via WhatsApp) for victims of stalkers meets in person for the first time - at the funeral of one of their group members. When they receive a mysterious death threat that one of them will die in 10 days, panic sets in and the clock starts ticking.

⏰ The chapters count down how many days until someone dies, which keeps the thrill level on edge. The WhatsApp group chats give an added touch of current times. And each of the group member’s personal stalker is…well, let’s go with the authors words “psychic fuckwittery.”

🔪 Which one of them is the target of a murder threat? They can’t be sure, so they band together to watch out for one another other. And what better way than to put tracking devices on each other’s stalker.

“She gave him everything and, in return, he took her self-confidence, her self-belief and her self-worth. He broke her down into smaller and smaller pieces until she didn’t know who she was any more.”

😱 I really felt like the author did a great job of depicting the level of fear that victims deal with, and the way it shapes and consumes their lives. The way that it breaks even the strongest of people down over time. My heart goes out to everyone who has lived and is living this reality.

🥴 It does get a little confusing jumping around between so many characters and their back-stories, it may have helped distinguish if the memories were italicized. But I did enjoy reading the back-stories. I just had to slow down a little to digest it all. I could really see this being a movie.

🕵🏻‍♀️ Ok, so how solvable was it? I was 99% correct with one minor detail off. But I don’t think most people would peg it. And the story itself is enthralling either way.

♣️ The author’s personal stalker story at the end, along with the horrifying stats of stalking victims, really capped things off nicely for me. I could tell the story was written from a place of experience, and not just imagination. There is also a bonus Book Club Questions.

Thanks to NetGalley, Avon Books, and CL Taylor for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review!

This book literally had me holding my breath and set my heart racing. I almost gave up on it at one point as it was so intense. Each chapter looked at one individual character and their experience of being stalked. This made me want to plow through it to find out what was happening in the next chapter. I'm so glad I continued with the book. It was brilliant

It delivers a twisty thriller experience, plunging readers into a gripping tale of individuals stalked and threatened with death.

The narrative revolves around a group of individuals united by their shared experience of being stalked, providing each other with support and vigilance. However, when they convene for an event, a chilling wreath delivery hints at the heightened peril one among them faces. Each character grapples with genuine danger, their nerves frayed by the ever-present threat of their relentless pursuer.

The author adeptly sustains tension throughout, culminating in a satisfying twist that scrutinizes the relationships of key protagonists.

While the story boasts a substantial cast, with four central figures, each harboring a distinct backstory and stalker, the author ensures clarity from the outset. However, the relentless pace, while initially exhilarating, may have benefited from occasional interludes of backstory to provide respite.

Despite a few plot points stretching credulity, they seamlessly integrate into the narrative. I do however thing this mix of so many characters and the length of the book made it feel a bit of a slog. I did find myself loosing interest in parts.

Whilst I loved the premise and thought it was really clever, something didn’t work for me as well with this one.

A compulsive, intense and emotional read.
Natalie, Alexandra, Bridget, Lucy & River are all part of a closed forum for survivors of stalking and have created an offline WhatsApp group, as they all live in London.
But when Natalie is murderer by her ex boyfriend/stalker, Jamie, who has recently been released from prison, they are all in a blind panic as at the funeral they receive a chilling message - “10 days till someone dies”
They make a plan to track their stalkers until they can work out who the perpetrator is.
It’s so well written, with so many creepy characters and so many theories, you end up suspecting everyone.
Gives you an unique taste of what it must be like to be stalked and how exhausting you must feel 24/7, constantly scared, terrified, violated and vulnerable. “Having to change your name, telephone number, move house and get a new job”
Loved the network the victims had formed, in spite of the awful circumstances that had brought them together, they’ed found strength and resilience to take things into their own hands and get control back.
A twisty, gripping, claustrophobic thriller, that gives you goosebumps, making you want to scream and shout on behalf of all victims of stalking.
Thanks @cltaylorauthor, @avonbooksuk & @netgalley for the emotional read

I was a little disappointed with Every Move you Make, I found it difficult to feel invested in. I read it but it took me a while as I kept stopping and starting. I didn’t particularly like the main characters, but it was scary to think about what people go through every day, and the feeling of powerlessness as all parts of your life are impacted.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for gifting me a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

3 Stars!

This story starts off with a group of people who go to a support group for a stalker. I was immediately hooked with the eerie vibes and it even made me feel anxious. What I liked about this story, was the countdown leading up to the murder. It helped me keep the timeline in my head and even added the desperation to figure out the mystery. What I didn't like was how the story felt dragged out. It also became a little muddy when the characters stories were being intertwined. The twists near the ending were good, but from the middle being so long it just didn't have that oomph effect for me. If the middle had been cut back a bit, I think I would've liked it a lot more.

Natalie, River, Alexandra, Lucy and Bridget are a group of friends who have met because they all have stalkers and formed a whatsapp chat group for support. However, Natalie is attacked and killed by hers which leads to a lot of insecurities amongst the friends who take some desperate measures to protect themselves.
Lots of twists and turns, a real page turner!

Synopsis —-Alexandra, Lucy, Bridget, River and Natalie. Five friends who wish they’d never met. Because the one thing they have in common is the worst thing in their lives: they are all being stalked.
When one of their group is murdered, days after their stalker is released from prison, time stands still for them all. They know their lives could end just as brutally at any moment – all it takes is for the people they fear the most to catch up with them.
When the group receive a threat that one of them will die in ten days’ time, the terror that stalks their daily lives becomes all-consuming. But they know they don’t want to be victims anymore – it’s time to turn the tables and finally get their revenge.
Because the only way to stop a stalker is to become one yourself…

My thoughts—-

harass or persecute (someone) with unwanted and obsessive attention.

C.L Taylor explains in her authors notes that she has sadly had experience of stalking and harassment.


Five become four !
Excellent plot , the group of friends all have one thing in common they have all been stalked they gravitate together to help each other.
Without any spoilers the novel was full of suspense and intrigue the characters and their voices were brilliantly jumping from the page. I was suspicious about one character but the ending was a twist and the conclusion and ending brilliantly sewn up!

Firstly I want to commend c.l.taylor.for.being brave enough to tell this story. Especially as events similar to this happened to her. I really did enjoy this book. However I did find it a little predictable. Around the half way point in the book I had.my suspicions which proved to be true. But it was still a good book. Well plotted, well written and engrossing.

What a novel. I am quite the fan of Taylor's work and this is another corker of a thriller to add to her work.

This book truly begins at a funeral. A woman is killed by her stalker and four of her friends (who she met as they are also being stalked) turn up to say their farewells. A sour taste is left in their mouths after the flowers say the wrong date, and they realise it has a connection to all of them.

From the moment we were introduced to the four friends, I felt this strange connection to them. I wanted them to be safe and I enjoyed learning about them through the pov chapters. I just adored them.

Every 20 pages, my jaw dropped to the floor. I don't want to spoil anything so will keep hush, but I was even surprised in the first 10 pages!

Five victims of stalkers form a tight knit 'WhatsApp' group. They check in with each other making sure they are safe- until one night Natalie is found dead on her doorstep. At her funeral, Alexandra, Lucy, Bridget & River are given a wreath, but it is not really for Natalie, it is a warning that in ten days, one of them will die.

The author's personal experience of being stalked must have influenced this story & I think she is very brave to have gone along that route. It saddens me that I didn't enjoy this book as much as her other books. I don't think I really bonded with the characters. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

I enjoyed this book but it wasnt my favourite by this author. Excellent twists that surprised me wasn’t what I expected & all goes up nicely at the end.

I’ve read a few books by this author and I’ve always really enjoyed them. However, I think this one is my favourite so far. It had me gripped from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down.

We follow a group who have set up their own support network as they are all victims of stalking. There were a number of characters I really didn’t trust and I was suspicious of almost everyone!

I love the way the author made it all so suspenseful and creepy. I was so freaked out a few times. The twist was a total shock I was so surprised. Everything all tied up well at the end too.

The authors note at the end included an important message about her own personal experience with stalking. After reading you can see that the subject is one that is important to her.

Highly recommend reading this one, an easy 5 stars from me.

Thank you to Avon Books and Netgalley for my ebook copy.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and of course Cally for providing me with an ARC.

I really loved this book. It dealt with a very distressing topic in a way that made me as a reader feel it was happening to me.

There were a lot of characters but the format made it possible to keep up with each story line.

The idea of the victims taking matters into their own hands and fighting back was a nice twist on the usual psychological thriller books I've read.

Definitely one to add to your wish list if you haven't already!

Natalie, Alexandra, Lucy, River and Bridget all have one thing in common; they are all victims of stalking and when they join a support group they all become friends. Just days after one of the stalkers is released from prison, one of the group is brutally murdered, then at the funeral they receive an anonymous threat that someone will die on 20th October, just ten days time and they know that they can't just sit around waiting for that day to arrive, they must take action and get their lives back...

This latest thriller by Taylor is told from the perspectives of all the main characters and in a countdown to the day they are all in fear of, it's a fast paced read which kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, constantly second guessing what path it would take and if the group would overcome their fears and reclaim their lives, they knew that danger was always close by but none of them really knew how close. I loved how, even though they were all victims, they were portrayed as strong characters and I was hopeful that they'd win in the end, it was good to get an understanding of their backgrounds too, revealing how they came to be stalked in the first place. Another fabulously, tense story by this author which I highly recommend. The facts about stalking statistics in the UK alone in the authors note at the end are shocking to read about and, that it happened to her personally, shone through in the writing of this harrowing tale.

I'd like to thank Avon Books and Netgalley for the approval, I will post my review on Amazon and Goodreads.

I’m usually a big fan of this authors work but struggled with this book. I found it quite confusing and got the characters muddled. I couldn’t remember who was being stalked by who and what each persons backstory was. I can normally follow books pretty easily but found this one difficult for some reason and it spoiled my enjoyment of the storyline.

Thanks to #netgalley and #avonbooksuk for this ADC in exchange for an honest review!

𝑴𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔:
I read it with a bunch of friends and really enjoyed it. At one point, we all agreed that the stalking our main characters experienced was very well depicted. I felt the same frustration with the police and the same helplessness they experienced while reading it. Imagine having to change your job, phone number or place of residence because of a stalker. Unthinkable!😢 Loved how well this was described, it felt very authentic. I then started to suspect that maybe one of the victims might not be who they were pretending to be! But was I right? To find out, you’ll have to read it!

This was such a great guessing game that had me flipping eagerly through the pages. The ending had me gasping!
