Synopsis


Ten years ago, I survived a serial killer. They called me the lucky one, but they don’t know the truth I’ve been hiding ever since… Then: We danced together that night, our dresses glittering in the swirling lights. We couldn’t have known that for one of us, it would be our last night alive. Now: Back in my hometown a decade later—the place I’ve avoided because of the memories—I can’t shake the feeling that I am being followed. I tell myself it’s all in my head, but the prickle on the back of my neck feels like a warning. Then the anonymous messages land in my inbox: I’m watching. I’ve been waiting for you. I want to feel safe, surrounded by my closest friends. But everyone has something to hide and it’s impossible to know who I can trust. When my friend Esme goes missing, her phone ringing through to voicemail, it feels like the past is about to repeat itself. Someone won’t let me forget what really happened that night. What I promised. How I escaped. If the truth comes out, I only hope they can forgive me... I can’t make the same mistake again. I have to keep us all safe. What if, this time, I’m not so lucky? An addictive, nail-biting psychological thriller, The Lucky One will have you sleeping with the light on. Fans of Stillhouse Lake, The Girl on the Train and Gillian Flynn will be totally hooked!


My Review


Wow just wow! Jessica Payne has wrote another amazing story that had me on the edge of my seat frantically turning pages to find out what will happen next. I just had to finish this book in one sitting because its impossible to put down. This was a fantastic story line and just when you think you know what will happen next bomb a plot twists that you will never see coming. This book is sure to take you on an amazing roller coaster ride of a journey. Her writing style is definitely one of the best thriller writers I have read. And I have read a lot of thrillers . I just loved Norah's character and how she developed. Especially how she dealt with the police not helping her despite the evidence she finds. The pace of this story will leave you with whiplash so strap in for the ride of your life. I just love these fast pace thrillers.

I love how the book switches between the past and present as this really helped creat the epic sense of atmosphere and tension. So much tension I love it!!

I really can't recommend this book enough. If you loved psychological thrillers with a fantastic pace emmursed in atmosphere then this book is definitely for you.

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such an amazing story-line that keeps you on your toes. With an incredible ending. I will definitely be reading every book this author writes and I am already eagerly impatiently waiting for the next thrilling book.
