This is the kind of book where you'll be making guesses about which characters you can trust throughout. I loved (and was freaked out by) the story of a young woman dealing with an ex-boyfriend she'd rather forget, especially set against the backdrop of Brighton. Devoured this every second I could to find out the truth behind the creepy happenings and would definitely recommend.

If commanding thrillers give you a buzz, then you must read The Wrong Move, written by Jennifer Savin. Having read the intriguing synopsis I was hoping that I was going to be in for a treat with this one and it was extremely good! In The Wrong Move, the author explores the darkest corners of psychological torment in a mesmerising and chilling tale of menace, secrets, lies, and deviousness. Narrated from multiple viewpoints, I was given the opportunity to see things from several angles, making the story altogether more interesting. The author cleverly drip-fed the reader snippets of key information so I was never exactly sure what the next development might be which also fuelled my need to continue reading. The characterisation was excellent, and pretty much made this story the remarkable read it was. The characters were very credible, though none were likeable, however, I think this was the author's intention. Their interactions and relationships added depth and illustrated how their pasts shaped them and affected the perceptions they currently possess. Everyone had different motives and priorities for their actions, thoughts or behaviour. The Wrong Move brought me no disappointments, capturing my attention from the prologue to the final word. Jennifer Savin created an underlying sense of tension that was totally gripping. I appreciated the tautness of the plot, the twists and revelations, and the overall quality of the writing. My interest never wavered as the story spiralled its way towards an interesting denouement. The Wrong Move is compelling fiction that I can highly recommend. I received a complimentary copy of this novel from Penguin Random House UK, Ebury Publishing via NetGalley at my request and this review is my unbiased opinion.

Jessie escapes her old life with an abusive boyfriend by moving to a flat in Brighton and starting a new job. She quickly becomes good friends with the girls she is flat-sharing with, especially Lauren who is there for her through everything that goes wrong - and a lot starts to go wrong for Jessie! Has Jessie's ex-boyfriend tracked her down to get revenge? Or could flatmate Sofie, who seems to want to look just like Jessie, be behind it all? Or perhaps the only male flatmate, Marcus, who seems a bit odd, is doing these things? Even the letting agent Ian seems creepy and suspicious. When Jessie begins to find out things about previous tenants who lived in her room, she uncovers some truths and realises she may be in a lot of danger... A fantastic, suspenseful story that keep you guessing, and teaches you to be very careful who you trust! A good ending though not quite as shocking as it could have been, however overall I really enjoyed the book and can't wait for Jennifer Savin to release more books. Recommended! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of the book in return for my honest feedback.

Set in Brighton, Jessie is looking for a new flat share after ending an abusive relationship. After many viewings she finds the perfect place to live. Her flat mates are friendly, some more than others. Lauren is super friendly and welcoming, helping a Jessie to settle in, Sofie is in a relationship with the ego that is Henry and is rarely at home and Marcus is quiet and a bit of a loner, but friendly and helpful, For the first couple of months everything is fine and settled but then Jessie’s anxiety ramps up due to odd little incidents…...what happened to the previous occupant of her room, Magda? Who can she really trust? I really enjoyed The Wrong Move, it has a creeping, subtle tension which is enhanced by the clever writing, the way the perspective of the narrative changes between the characters, sometimes within the same paragraph really added to the weird sense of unease. An unsettling, gripping and thoroughly entertaining read. Thank you to the author. The publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read The Wrong Move for free. This is my honest, unbiased review.

I read this book in two days and for the most part I really enjoyed it, it definitely kept me hooked as I needed to know how the story would unfold. Jessie moves into a flatshare in Brighton after escaping an abusive relationship. At first it seems like she might have found new friends, but as things start to go wrong for her you realise that not all might be as it seems. I found refreshing that although the book is written mainly on Jessie’s perspective, every now and then it switches to the other characters, (especially at the end when the explanation unfolds) giving you a different view and an insight into their characters. This is also quite different from all the books I’ve been reading lately. I did find Jessie’s character a bit annoying and unrelatable, I know she has been through a lot and her confidence is shattered, but she displays a weakness of character and gullibility that I found irritating. I also felt the ending was rushed and not fully wrapped up. Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House UK Ebury for letting me review this book.
