I WAS NEVER HERE
I Was Never Here
A gripping psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator
Maya always believed survival was a skill.
Raised on the South Side of Chicago with bruised knuckles and bigger dreams, she clawed her way into a life she never thought she’d have—complete with diamonds, dinner parties, and a man who seemed to adore her.
But perfection can’t hide the cracks forever.
A blouse goes missing.
A matchbook appears out of nowhere.
A photo of her sleeping—taken by someone else.
And a woman in a red coat keeps showing up… then disappearing.
As Maya’s memories blur with hallucinations, the truth about her past—and her mind—begins to unravel. Conversations don’t add up. The artwork in every room is identical. And someone, or something, is watching her.
Is Maya losing her grip… or remembering what really happened?
I Was Never Here is a haunting, slow-burn suspense novel with a twist ending readers won’t see coming. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Verity, and The Silent Patient, this debut thriller explores gaslighting, trauma, and the terrifying cost of reinvention.
