Where No One Can Hear You

by J E Rowney

Sometimes silence is more terrifying than screams.


Sixteen-year-old Amanda Gray's life shatters when what should have been a simple walk home with her best friend Sarah turns into a nightmare. One moment they're picking bluebells in the woods; the next, they're at the mercy of a predator who seems chillingly familiar with his routine.

Six weeks later, Amanda wakes in a hospital bed with a slash across her throat, her voice stolen, and no memory of how she escaped. And no one will talk to her about Sarah.



Where No One Can Hear You is a haunting exploration of survival, memory, and the lengths one will go to save someone they love—even when they can't save themselves.

Different than I expected. This book was more about the victims healing process. Everything after the traumatic day. Her relationships with doctors, nurses and family while coping with recovery.

3.5 stars.

Really enjoyed this story and told from a young victims perspective made it different to other thrillers I've read which was refreshing.

Part 1 is definitely the most gripping, it's longer than needed, there is quite a bit of repetition in Parts 2 and 3. It ends nicely, but I was holding out for a really good (but possibly too obvious) missing twist at the end that could've pulled some parts of the story together really well.

Overall a good read and I'd pick up another by this author.

That was such a disappointment. Really enjoyed it but I expected more at the end. Also sick of reading the same thing over and over again

This was a great story, sad and scary but a roller coaster of perseverance and strength by the sevivers of this traumatic event and the services of other traumatic events. I cried a lot.

This book has very difficult subject matter to read but is a really good book. I cannot imagine experiencing this trauma and how one moves forward from it.
