Never Trust Me: A Twisted Psychological Thriller

by Michael Ryder

Digging into secrets in a place like Boudreaux is more than dangerous — it's a dance with death. But I have no choice. It's not just my life in the crosshairs — my daughter’s at risk, too.

My name is Callie Crawford. I'm a mom and a survivor. I live with my daughter Ava in Boudreaux Parish in rural Louisiana, where I’m recovering from an accident that left me with a damaged hip and fractured memories.

Though I don’t remember the accident , I’m not letting that stop me. I’m determined to move forward with my life and be the best mom I can for my daughter.

But in Boudreaux, where danger lurks behind every gnarled cypress tree , nothing is ever simple. One humid afternoon, I return home from a walk along the bayou and discover a mysterious note pinned to my front door — a note with a four-digit number on it and nothing else.

When the number leads me to a shocking secret about my ex-husband , I find myself swept into a world of hidden agendas and twisted lies.

I can’t let my fears stop me. With every painful step, I’m getting closer to the horrifying truth.

It’s a truth I must confront — an evil I must overcome — to save myself and my daughter.

Never Trust Me is a gripping psychological thriller with jaw-dropping twists and an ending you won’t see coming. Get ready to stay up all night!

I felt like I was reading a murder 101 book for juveniles. It was low rate writing and an unbelievable, dramatic storyline. I couldn’t wait to finish this.

This was an intriguing and well-written thriller with several unexpected twists along the way. I enjoyed it and felt invested in all the main characters (Callie, Josh and Beth) and was surprised more than once by different turns if events as the story unfolded. I'll certainly look out for more from this author.
