I Saw You
She’s losing hours. Someone else is finding them.
Bestselling author Paige Thomas is doing everything she can to rebuild her life after a devastating accident, writing again, keeping up appearances, and pretending the blackouts are not getting worse. Each time she wakes, there are new bruises, strange memories, and gaps she can’t explain. She tells herself it is stress. She tells everyone else nothing at all.
Her husband, Michael, is trained to understand the mind, yet he is too distracted by secrets of his own to see that his wife is spiraling. His most unsettling patient, a blindfolded man named Vincent, whispers warnings in riddles that his secrets could destroy everything he loves.
Paige turns to her estranged mother, Darlene, who senses that her own ghosts are returning. Twenty-five years ago, she survived a man with green eyes who had a talent for making reality bend around his lies. She has spent decades trying to forget what she did to survive. But Paige’s blackouts, the tattoo that shouldn’t exist, and a familiar name on her daughter’s lips tell Darlene that the past isn’t finished.
Paige, Michael, and Darlene are on a collision course with a truth buried deep in memory, one twisted enough to shatter everything they believe about themselves and each other. And all three are about to wish they had listened to the same warning:
The truth is coming for them. And it knows what they’ve done.

Mind-twisting and suspenseful! “I Saw You” kept me completely hooked from start to finish. After an accident leaves Paige struggling with blackouts and memory loss, the story follows her as she tries to piece together the truth—only to uncover dark secrets as the danger escalates. The tension builds perfectly, with twists that kept me guessing and turning pages late into the night. I couldn’t put it down! A must-read for fans of psychological thrillers.

This is a honest NetGalley ARC review:
WTH! What an incredibly wild ride! I felt like this one started slowly, but as the plot progressed, I’d think I knew what was happening. I didn’t. Or if I guessed correctly, it was overshadowed by how well the lies untangled. Honestly, I still don’t know if I know the truth of the story, or which version has more facts! I was so intrigued by this story and would LOVE if it had a sequel! Hands down one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve read in a while!

Thank you to NetGalley, author Cherann Wright, and Sleuthing Sloth Press for the ARC and the opportunity to review this book.
I do not often award five-star ratings, but this novel was exceptionally well done.
The author presents a portrayal of dissociative disorder and the way the mind can so easily be misguided and twisted into something else, while seamlessly weaving it into a fast paced and gripping psychological thriller.
The suspense builds steadily, with well crafted twists that keep the reader fully engaged. While the major twist is made obvious, I felt the author still took me on a great adventure to the ending of the twisted mind f***.
This was a compelling, edge of your seat read from start to finish.

intensely realistic
A terrifying possibility after any accident is amnesia. Head injuries can create so many chaotic changes in life and routine. This psychological thriller brought so many rollercoaster moments I just had to keep turning the page to find out what happened next. I enjoyed the different characters’ perspectives just as much as every twist and shocking reveal. I look forward to diving into her “Secrets” series!

This "story within a story wtihin a story" didn't work for me.
At one point I found myself correcting grammar and pointing out poor word usage: in short, I found the writing style to be perplexingly uneven. I kept wondering if more than one person was writing this novel - the caliber of the writing was so uneven. Spoiler alert: but the writing as a whole was choppy and I cringed at the titillating sex scenes between Michael and Vanessa. (And yes, I guessed the "twist" right from the start - hard not to!) (By the way: those lurid sex scenes reminded me of 9 1/2 Weeks, with chain-smoking and alcoholic binging scenes mixed in. I had to employ my speed reading abilities more than once during those, and several other, passages!)
Those alternating chapters involving Darlene, Christian and his son, Donovan, had me on the alert... the past does not always stay buried... (hard not to guess that Darlene's past would have a big impact on Darlene and Paige's futures.....)
Actually, there were a couple of passages in this novel that caught and held my attention: Vincent, one of Michael's patients, emparted several noteworthy quotes from Carl Jung and Viktor Frankl's works. Vincent came across as having special powers or at least a high level of intelligence. (Hannibal Lector, you have a wannabe rival!) Was Vincent psychic or perhaps just smarter than his medical caregivers? At one point Vincent warns Michael that his wife will harm him, and then describes an image of Paige lying dead in a coffin. All very theatrical. The plot of this story was all over the place and the characters didn't ring true for me. Another spoiler alert:
I'm rating this a 2.5 ( rounded up to a 3 because Goodreads does not allow half stars ) out of 5 stars because it held my interest for several chapters, but lost me somewhere after Vanessa's torrid bar scene and tattoo: it all went downhill for me after that point. My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

3/5 stars
Not a bad read at all, just quite predictable. I guessed all the plot twists which left the 'revelations' section of the book feeling hollow and honestly quite silly. Like yes girl we know ... move onnnnn. I also think Michael was a wasted POV in this book and could've been cut out completely. His storyline with Vincent at the hospital was highkey dumb and I didn't gaf if I see one more vague Jung quote I will die :)
Buuuuut I did like Paige and I did enjoy her trying to figure out the mystery of what's going on with her! I also liked Darlene's POV, she was an unlikeable woman but I fuck with that, so props to the author for Darlene!
Excited to see where this author goes, I'll definitely look into their other books and see if any of their other twists get me by surprise!

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
This was a great read! It was very well written, the characters were well developed, the plot was gripping, and it kept me guessing until the end. A lot of twists that I did not expect.
Paige is a writer of self-help books, who is planning her first novel. She is in a car accident and starts loosing time. Her husband Michael, a psychologist, tries to help her through her trauma, but her episodes continue to escalate. Meanwhile, Michael has a patient of his own that seems to have an almost supernatural talent for reading his mind and seeing the future. Paige's mother is a recluse who is paranoid about being stalked. She lives by herself in the middle of a wilderness, with traps set everywhere to deter trespassers. How all these factors come together is an art in itself. This is an author I have not read before, but I can't wait to grab another book! Put this on your TBR list. You won't be disappointed!

I was so lucky to have been chosen to receive an early ARC of this book. I must say it is one of the best psychological thrillers I've read in a long time. And when I say 'psychological' I mean it IS psychological. The kind you think about for a long time after. As CherAnn always does with her books, she told the story from multiple points of view and from very distinct characters that all had a crucial role to play in the book. One minute I loved them and in others, I hated them. I even found myself cussing one of them. I can't recommend this book enough. It's a razor-sharp psychological thriller that burrowed under my skin and refused to let go. Paige is the kind of unreliable narrator you ache to trust, and Michael was the kind of character you love to hate and hate to love. I devoured this in one sitting.

There are twists and turns and so many dots. I was left guessing up until the very end...like the-very-last-page end. My jaw hit the ground and I was left wondering WTF in the best way possible. This is the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last if her other books are this good! This messes with you mind in a truly beautiful way that totally encapsulates what I want in a psychological thriller. Are there multiple POVs? Yes. Do I typically like multiple POVs? No. Where these written in first person? Yes and I loved it! You get a chapter number AND name and then the chapter focuses on them telling their part of the story at that time. It was great! I can't say anything else without giving something away but I loved this!

The definition of a middle of the road thriller. Solid pace, decent twists & an interesting plot. The writing was rough & the overall organization of the book was a bit confusing. I found myself going back to reread parts more often than is normal. It mostly held my interest but main twist was pretty easy to guess. Overall, not a favorite but worth picking up.
Big thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for allowing me to enjoy this.

This was such a great mystery/thriller to bring in the new year! I love a good unreliable narrator and Paige couldn't have been a better one. While I did see some things coming, there was so much I just didn't and I loved every second of it. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future.

I was obsessed with this book once I started reading! Such an amazing additive psychological thriller. I loved the characters and the twists weren’t obvious. I would recommend this book to everyone. It will be stuck in your head for a long time.
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Moody and Manipulatively Menacing.
“I Saw You” is the epitome of a psychological thriller, conveying tension with a quiet, creeping confidence that never lets you fully relax. With multiple narrators at play, the story toys expertly with perception — just when you think you’ve worked out who’s reliable, doubt creeps back in. Predictable on the surface perhaps, but never quite in the ways that matter.
The characters are fabulously well written. Vincent, in particular, is convincingly unsettling — the kind of presence that lingers uncomfortably long after his scenes end. I didn’t warm to everyone, but that felt intentional rather than accidental; these characters are fully fleshed out, flawed, frustrating, and undeniably human.
Unease is the novel’s constant companion. Small fractures in memory and perception quietly stack up, creating a suffocating mood that deepens as the story unfolds and leaves the ending lingering rather than explosive.
A dark, psychological read that leans more on atmosphere and disquiet than shock — unsettling in the best way.
