I am delighted to share my review today for You Can’t Hide by Emily Shiner. This is a wonderfully twisted story and it had me gripped.

My huge thanks to Zoe at Zooloos Book Tours for the invite and for arranging my spot on the tour and for arranging my e-copy of the book from Inkubator Books.

Beth thought she’d escaped her past. But all this time, it’s been waiting for her…
 
Beth and Ian are desperate to have a child. So much so that they decide to sell his family cabin in upstate New York to pay for IVF.
 
When they arrive at the cabin, they meet Ryan, the caretaker. But Ryan is not who he says he is… He’s here because he knows Beth has a dark secret. And now he intends to use it against her.
 
He threatens to tell Ian everything about Beth’s past unless she does exactly what he says.
 
Beth finds herself caught in a nightmarish trap. If Ian discovers what she’s been hiding from him, she’s sure he’ll leave her. She’ll lose everything she cares about, including the chance to have a child of her own.
 
On the other hand, what Ryan wants her to do is so dark and twisted it’s beyond horrifying.
 
Either way, Beth is sure her life is over, she can see no way out. Unless…  Unless she digs deep and finds a part of herself that is willing to do something so awful it doesn’t even bear thinking about…

You Can’t Hide – the stunning psychological thriller perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Freida McFadden, and Daniel Hurst.

MY REVIEW

Well, what an amazing introduction this book is to the author. This is a fabulous book that delves into the life of Beth and her husband Ian, but there is also another storyline and this one does take more of a prominent role at times. I am not going to divulge much about that one though!

Beth is nervous about going to visit the old cabin, it is isolated, and they can only access it on foot as the snowy weather isn’t exactly ideal for a visit. When they get there they discover that someone has been living in it, it must be the caretaker Ryan. Employed by Ian to come in and make sure that everything is ok. Beth isn’t so sure though, it looks like he has made himself very comfy in their cabin and not someone who may spend a night there to check things over.

This, as I mentioned, is one part of the story, the other is the one that has the biggest thriller factor to it, although when the dots begin to join the thrills are huge. You soon get to know the other storyline and the author does an amazing job with this and had me wanting to scream at the main character! Vague? Yep, this was always going to be as I am not going to reveal any spoilers.

The two stories are separate and they have a nervous energy to them. The characters are interesting and the predicaments they find themselves in are very edgy. As I said I wanted to scream at one of the characters, but then I could have quite easily done the same to the other as well!

This is a review that is very hard to write, but if you like very addictive and suspense-filled thrillers then this is a book that I would definitely recommend picking up.
