About this listen

She’s been waiting her whole life to meet a man like Alex. But he’s been waiting, too. And once he has her, he’ll never let her go....

Hannah has done everything to make sure her life is safe and secure. A long way from her unstable childhood growing up in foster care, she’s content with her sweet, little, messy apartment and her satisfying job as a social worker. She quietly worries that, aged 36, she might never fall in love. But otherwise her life is where she wants it to be.

Until, encouraged by her best friend to join a dating app, she meets Alex. He’s irresistibly handsome. He loves the same music as her. The same food as well. They both dream of travelling the world but agree they’d be equally happy escaping to a cottage by the beach in Devon. Both of them would love to own a Labrador one day. It’s like he’s made for her. It’s like he’s too good to be true.

Hannah’s friends aren’t so sure about him. But Hannah thinks he’s perfect.

Which is good. Because Alex knows she’s perfect for him, too. In fact, she’s exactly the girl he’s been looking for....

And nothing Hannah’s done to make her life safe will ever be enough.

A gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller about dark obsession and internet dating. Fans of The Wife Between Us, Friend Request, and Gone Girl will adore this twisted love story.

Praise for Sue Watson:

"Tense, atmospheric psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Impeccably written and a big fat 5***** from me. Awesome!" (Number one best-selling author Angela Marsons)

I feel like I spent all those hours listening, waiting for something to happen. Then when something finally did, it seemed that the whole book was written for the point of those two chapters at the end which to me is pointless.
I mean, it was OK. Just a bit predictable

Literally nothing happens until the last 2 chapter

It could have gone so many ways but it seemed like it hit a point where the author just needed to finish so the main story ended then up popped a summary from another characters point of view which then changed the story. It was kind of good but just all get a bit rushed. It could have been done much better I think. Felt a bit meh at the end.

Weird one

Great read

This dating horror crawled along for about 2/3rds of the book and then had a banging ending. I did enjoy it but wasn't my favourite by this author.

A bit slow but good ending
