He'll Never Let Me Go

by Sadie Ryan

I left everything behind. My name. My phone. My life.

My husband said he loved me. That I was everything to him.

But staying meant dying.

You don’t hurt the people you love — do you?

Now I’m miles away, wearing someone else’s clothes, driving a car I bought with cash, and sleeping in B&Bs under a false name.

Every second I’m waiting for him to catch up.

But I’ve got a plan. I’ve thought of everything.

Except this one secret.

The one thing I couldn’t leave behind.

And if he finds out— He’ll never let me go.

A heart-thudding, breath-stealing psychological thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, K.L. Slater, Lisa Jewell, Daniel Hurst and Sarah A. Denzil.

This is the first book I've read by this author, and it definitely won't be my last. I've read thousands of books and can usually predict where they're headed, but this one completely threw me off—I wasn't even in the ballpark! I have no idea how I got it all so wrong. Kudos to Ms. Ryan! I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Thank you to Zooloo's Book Tours and the author for this ARC!

This book played on the cat-and-mouse trope with an exciting foray into the second person, and a whole cast of dodgy characters. I felt like my suspicions changed every five chapters, and there were so many reveals that I didn't anticipate. It was a quick read, and quite entertaining.

[Sabina Carroll · Rating 4 out of 5]

A tense and emotionally gripping thriller that explores the terrifying line between love and possession. The narrator’s constant sense of danger, paired with her desperate attempt to reclaim her identity, makes this story impossible to step away from. Sharp, haunting, and beautifully paced, a chilling look at what it means to run for your life while carrying the truth that could destroy you.

A twisted psychological psychological thriller

Would have given this a full five stars but I got a little confused with all the characters, and their different stories. .Cleverly you are sent to believe one idea, before the author quickly plants another theory. Everything does tie up in the end but nearly got lost on the way.

I received an arc copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I really enjoyed this book with all the twists. I absolutely loved the ending. I would have given a full five stars but the profanity was just too much at times.

Fantastic story

I couldn't put the book down. The story was amazing and awful all at the same time. We don't often hear of women being the aggressor but they do exist. I hope there are safe houses for men as well.

He’ll Never Let Me Go is a gripping, chilling psychological thriller that keeps you breathless with its tension, emotional stakes, and a final twist that hits like a lightning strike.

Seemed straightforward. But nothing is what it seems.

[Anita Stanford · Rating 4 out of 5]

On the whole I enjoyed the book and wouldn’t have guessed the twist but the end was very bad as you don’t find out what happened ultimately

[CARON MORGAN · Rating 4 out of 5]

wow!

I didn’t see that coming, excellent read. So many twists and turns . I definitely recommend reading this book I was hooked.

[Janice Wilson · Rating 5 out of 5]

great read

Had you really twisted till the end. When you thought you might have it figured kind-sorta it would send you for a loop.

[Ella Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read.

I figured out pretty quickly who “Jill” was but I have to admit I didn’t figure out the ending. That was a surprise!

[Helen Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

A page turner from start to finish
