When They Find Me

by Carter Wilson

Some secrets don't fade. They hunt.

Expanse, Colorado. Population 313. A town so remote it barely exists on a map—the perfect hiding place for Annie Wolfe and her daughter, Coral. Their cabin is nearly off the grid, and Annie has done everything to keep them safe. Everything. But she knows the people hunting her don't forget. And they don't forgive.

Riven knows about survival. She and her family have lived off the land for years, moving like shadows through the wilderness. Now her father has led them to this forgotten town, tracking the man he swears destroyed their lives. The plan is simple: strike fast, take revenge, and disappear.

But when Riven knocks on Annie's door, their worlds collide. What follows is darker, stranger, and more dangerous than either woman ever imagined—because the hunt isn't just for vengeance. It's for the truth. And in Expanse, Colorado, the truth can kill.

“When They Find Me” - We all have an animal inside us, mine is a lazy house cat.

★★★★★

First of all Thank you NetGalley for the ARC, I leave this review voluntarily.

I literally had to pace myself because I could not stop reading and this novel does not let you catch a break from feeling on edge. It sucked me in from the get go, held me hostage like being trapped in a snowstorm (wink wink) and I had no choice but to stay in and read. “When They Find Me” is tense, intense and chilling in the best way, Carter Wilson truly knows how to write a twisty thriller that feel impossible to put down.

Carter (do you have a middle name? If you do I’d insert it here) Wilson. I have no words. What a damn book. My mouth is on the floor. Obsessed. This was non-stop, kept me on the edge of my seat, and left me floored.

Annie and her daughter Coral are on the run and hiding out in Expance, CO. Population 313. It’s Christmas, there’s a snow storm, and there’s an unwelcome visitor. Annie will do whatever it takes to protect her daughter (and dog too!).

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

I received an e-ARC of this one and let me tell you what…I am SHOOK! From the very first chapter I was sucked in. This was a wild roller coaster and I was holding on for dear life (I wasn’t the only one). Carter Wilson has created a cozy winter thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Grab your favorite blankie and snuggle up…you won’t be able to put this one down! 10/10

[Melissa Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Annie and her young daughter escape their former life to end up in a small secluded Colorado town living a quiet life for four years. What are they running from?

Christmas is upon them, a snowstorm brewing and an unwelcome family shows up at their front door. This home invasion is the start of a terrifying fight for survival.

But things are not at all what they seem. Annie will do everything in her power to protect her daughter. This is an absolute MUST read that I finished in 24 hours. For fans of Nightwatching by Tracy Sierra.

Thank you to Net Galley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC of this title! This book isn’t released until Nov 10 but the way I ran to read this is crazy! I devoured his last book so I knew this would be a great read.
When They Find Me DID NOT DISAPPOINT! It had me hooked from the very beginning. Every chapter had a cliffhanger and kept me wanting to keep going. The way this story was told was perfect and that twist at the end! I did not see that coming! This was a perfect thriller!

[Jess Burbridge · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an arc of this book from NetGalley.

I completely devoured this book! Finished in a few hours. It was intense and kept me pulled in the entire time. This is only the second book I’ve read by this author, but definitely plan on reading more. If you’re looking for a fast paced thriller with short chapters and a wild twist I’d definitely recommend!

[Meagan Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a solid thrill ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the final twist!

Everyone in Expanse, CO has something to hide, which makes it the perfect place for Annie and Coral to make a life after her husband is killed in Florida. When trouble finds them, Annie is prepared to take a stand, even if it means losing her own life to save Coral’s.

Told in dual perspective and with alternating timelines, the suspense is masterfully done with a fantastic build up to an ultimately satisfying climax. Annie and Rivan (the girl sent to kill Annie) are both powerful female characters with trauma and likeability. It’s a fun ride seeing how they got into their current predicament and how it unfolds.

The excellent pacing was enough for me to suspend my beliefs about a few things I may have otherwise questioned. Overall, this one gets a huge recommendation from me for fans of a Taylor Adam’s and fun fast escapist thrill rides.

[Debra · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOWZA! This book was intense! It had so many HOLY CRAP moments and I could not stop turning the pages. WHEW! Talk about suspense, twists, and a jaw dropping reveal!!!!!! In case you didn't guess it, I thought this book was fantastic! I loved the tension and dread that seeped from the pages! I had my fingers crossed, and my heartbeat was elevated for most of this book. This is how you do it!

Expanse, Colorado. Population 313

You know small towns are where everyone knows your name, but they might not know your secrets. Expanse is where Annie Wolfe is hiding with her daughter, Coral. Annie has taken all the precautions that she can think of. You see, Annie is being hunted....

Riven and her family have lived off the grid for a long time. Her father and brother have come to Expanse, Colorado with her. They are on a mission of vengeance and revenge to find someone who has destroyed their lives. When Riven knocks on Annie's door, Annie knows it is not the Avon lady calling.....

Holy Moly! As I mentioned, this book was off the hook! I loved the fast-paced action, getting into the characters' heads, the mounting suspense, the dread, the intensifying danger, and spine-tingling chilling moments. Just when I thought Carter Wilson was done knocking my socks off, he threw in one reveal which had me picking my jaw up off the floor!

All the stars and then some. When They Find Me is wonderfully written, well thought out, fast paced, and a thrill ride of a book! Whew! This is the third book that I have read by Carter Wilson, and all have been awesome. Which reminds me that I need to read more of his books.

Thank you to Poisoned Pen Press and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lord help me, still trying to catch my breath after reading this one! What an action-packed ride!! I don't want to give anything away, so I'm just going to do a basic recap. Five years ago, something terrible happened to Annie Wolf and her daughter Coral. They were forced to run and go into hiding. They found the perfect place in Expanse, Colorado. Population 313. Like seriously EVERYONE is hiding in Expanse, Colorado, it is that remote. Coyote, not the sanest of individuals, is tracking the man supposedly responsible for ruining his life. He brings his slightly less crazy kids, son Boone and daughter Riven, along for the ride. Riven shows up at Annie's door and it all goes to hell in a handbasket. Prepare to lose sleep, ignore your kids and family, call in sick to work, forget to eat.....you get my drift. You will NOT put this book down. Carter Wilson masterfully jangles something shiny over here while the insanity you don't see coming happens over there! And there is not too much I don't see coming. I have literally read hundreds of thrillers in my lifetime. WHEW!! And look closely at the drawings! They add so much to the story! Just go in blind and thank me later. And Carter Wilson, where have you been all my life. I already had Tell Me What You Did in my TBR pile. Well, it is now my Next to Read, along with anything else you have written. My hat is off. I'm not worthy. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

This story is perfect for fans of Taylor Adams and Tracy Sierra or anyone who wants non-stop, rip-roaring, edge-of-your-seat action

Thank you to Carter Wilson, #NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this much appreciated ARC. All opinions are my own.

[Mugs & Manuscripts · Rating 5 out of 5]

My rating: 4.5 stars rounded up to 5

When They Find Me is a fantastic psychological thriller by Carter Wilson. This was my first novel by Wilson, and I was immediately impressed by how tightly crafted the story is. It pulled me in from the very first page, and the pacing never let up. With short, punchy chapters and not a wasted word in sight, this is absolutely one of those “just one more chapter” books. For me, one more chapter quickly turned into finishing the novel in less than a day. I couldn’t put it down.

Wilson does an excellent job building unease, leaning into a slow, creeping dread rather than nonstop action, which makes the payoff feel even more satisfying. He skillfully weaves between past and present, revealing just enough backstory to deepen the characters without slowing the momentum or tension. Annie and her daughter Coral completely stole the show for me, and I grew especially fond of their dog, Harley. Set in an isolated mountain cabin in a small town, with a massive snowstorm closing in, the novel delivers a chilling wrong-place, wrong-time story filled with suspense and danger. It’s a gripping tale about identity, survival, and the secrets people carry.

I won’t say much about the plot except not everything is as it seems!

When They Find Me is an excellent psychological thriller. Snuggle up and get comfortable when you pick up this novel. It’s fast-paced, immersive, and incredibly bingeable. This is the kind of book you’ll want to curl up with and lose yourself in for a day. I’m officially a fan of Wilson’s writing and can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Poisoned Pen Press, and Carter Wilson for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

When They Find Me by Carter Wilson is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that completely pulled me in from the start.

Set in a remote Colorado town that barely exists on the map, the story follows Annie and her young daughter, Coral, who are living off the grid in an effort to stay hidden from their past. At the same time, another woman, Riven, arrives in town with her own mission tied to revenge and long-buried secrets. When their paths cross, what unfolds is far more complicated and unsettling than either of them expects.

This isn’t your typical “cabin in the woods” story. It feels fresh and layered, with a constant sense that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. The mystery builds in a way that keeps you searching for answers, and I found myself always wanting to pick it back up.

The structure made this incredibly bingeable. Short chapters, multiple POVs, and first-person narration kept the story moving at the perfect pace. The twists hit at the right moments, with the story zigging and zagging between past and present in just the right way to add extra suspense in all the right places.

One of the elements that really stood out to me was the underlying sense of unease. The idea of someone invading your space, touching your belongings, and watching from the outside added a layer of tension that made certain scenes genuinely unsettling.

I connected most with Annie, but also found myself feeling a lot of compassion for Riven. Having both perspectives added depth and made the story feel more dynamic.

Overall, this is a suspenseful, engaging read that kept me hooked throughout. If you enjoy thrillers centered around secrets, survival, and slowly unraveling truths, this is definitely one to pick up.

[Krystyna Salvetta · Rating 5 out of 5]

100/5! That’s how many stars I’m giving this book!

Carter Wilson has always written twists and turns into his books, some of which, most of which, I never saw coming. He’s an incredible author and I thoroughly enjoyed every one of his books I’ve read. In fact, there are only two or three old backlist titles of his I haven’t read.

All I have to say about THIS book is: O.M.G. And I basically read it in one sitting!

Wilson has created a cast of characters I actually see in my mind’s eye. There is a meme going around the Internet asking if you, as a reader, actually *see* the story take place, like a movie, or if it’s just words.

From page one it was as if I was IN the room, IN the car, AT the diner, IN the woods, IN Annie’s Keeping Place… like I was actually ON the set of a movie, watching it happen right in front of me. I saw, I heard, I smelled, I felt…

Annie and Coral have started a new life in Expanse, Colorado. They keep to themselves, rarely venturing off their property. Visiting town one day, they notice an old beat up camper. An hour later Annie is surprised to hear a knock at her door and see the camper in her driveway.

Remember when your mother told you to never open the door to strangers? Well…

If you like Carter Wilson’s writing, read this book. If you like a scary story, read this book. If you like horror, or psychological drama, or thrillers… Read this book. Get the picture? Read this book!

[Kaci Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

When They Find Me by Carter Wilson is one of those thrillers that quietly pulls you in and then refuses to let go.

At its core, this story is about identity, survival, and the kind of past that never really stays buried. The main character lives with the constant awareness that being “found” isn’t just a fear, it’s inevitable. And that tension? It hums beneath every page.

What I appreciated most was how layered this felt. It’s not just a straightforward thriller—it leans heavily into psychological territory. You’re not only questioning what’s happening, but who people really are… and whether anyone is telling the truth, including the narrator.

Wilson does a great job building unease. There’s this slow, creeping dread that builds instead of relying on nonstop action, which made the payoff feel more earned. The pacing might feel a little deliberate at times, but I actually think it works in the book’s favor, it gives the emotional stakes room to breathe.

The twists are solid. Not over-the-top or ridiculous, but unsettling enough to make you pause and rethink everything you’ve read up to that point. And I love when a thriller makes you do that.

If I had one critique, it’s that there were moments where I wanted just a bit more depth from some of the secondary characters, but honestly, the focus on the protagonist’s internal world makes sense given the story.

Overall, this is a smart, atmospheric psychological thriller that leans more on tension and identity than shock value, and it absolutely delivers.

[Mel R · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm excited to say this is my first ever NetGalley approval. I've been curious to read a Carter Wilson book for quite awhile because he's a local author. When They Find Me didn't disappoint. I couldn't put this book down! The short chapters and multiple points of view kept me going. I read this in only two sittings. It was impossible to know what was going to happen next which kept me on the edge of my seat! It takes place during a blizzard and the day I chose to read it there was a big snow storm here in the Denver area so my timing couldn't have been more ideal.

Annie and her daughter Coral (not their real names) are on the run from a criminal organization that murdered her husband. They're hiding out in the fictional mountain town of Expanse, Colorado. It's Christmas time but their holiday is interrupted by a trio of shady characters that arrive in a rundown motorhome. The father, Coyote, has brought his adult children Riven and Boone, on a vengeance mission to execute a man he blames for ruining his family except they end up at the wrong house. The surprise is on them because Annie has trained for this moment even if it isn't the exact one she was expecting. This is a home invasion gone wrong story. As a bonus, there is a map of Expanse and illustrations scattered throughout the book which really add to the experience. This book is going to be released in November and will be a terrific Christmas thriller.

Thank you to Poisoned Press and NetGalley for the ARC of When They Find Me by Carter Wilson.

You know that feeling when you have to keep reading because something isn’t quite right? That was this book for me.

This is my second read from Wilson, and I really enjoyed it—definitely a fast, bingeable thriller.

Told through dual POVs across past and present timelines, we follow Annie and Riven.

Annie Wolfe fled her past in Miami and is now living a quiet, secluded life in Colorado with her daughter—but she’s always looking over her shoulder, willing to do anything to keep them safe.

Riven, on the other hand, has grown up off the grid with her father and brother, in a life that feels just as controlled, just as isolated… but in a completely different way.

When their worlds unexpectedly collide, everything starts to unravel—and that’s when the twists really kick in.

I loved how the tension steadily built and how the connections between the characters were revealed. The short chapters made it so easy to fly through, and I kept thinking “just one more chapter.”

If you’re into suspenseful, character-driven thrillers with multiple POVs, secrets, and that constant underlying unease, this one is absolutely worth picking up.

[Simone · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m still in a bit of shock after finishing this one. As a longtime fan of Carter Wilson, I expected to enjoy When They Find Me, but I didn’t expect it to leave me feeling like this. Wow.

From the very first page, I was completely hooked. This is one of those rare books that’s nearly impossible to put down, and when I did, it was only because I needed a moment to recover from the intensity.

Wilson’s writing is as compelling as ever. The pacing is spot on, fast, relentless, and constantly building tension. Every chapter pulled me deeper in, raising the stakes and tightening the suspense until I was fully on edge.

I felt uneasy and completely absorbed at the same time, the kind of reading experience where you tell yourself “just one more chapter”, and suddenly it’s way past your bedtime.

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers, settle in and get comfortable, because once you start this one, you won’t be putting it down anytime soon.

Highly recommend.

When I saw that Carter Wilson was dropping a new book, especially after my absolute love for Tell Me What You Did... I IMMEDIATELY ran to Netgalley and requested it. And I am BEYOND happy that I did. The main character Annie, absolute badass. Annie's past was dark and death followed her, deeper than anyone knew. Her secrets were well hidden in Expanse, Colorado for quite some time. Then, a snowstorm, revenge, and a psychotic family targeting her house unraveled a series of horrific events. St. Nicholas wasn't the only one creeping into Annie and her daughter, Coral's secluded home this Christmas. The plot was exquisite. I was literally hiding behind my Kindle screen anticipating what was next. This thriller was definitely one of my top reads for 2026. And then what Carter Wilson did at the end, all I can say was that my jaw was dropped (NEVER EVER saw it coming) and I was sobbing. Such a well deserved 5 star! I suggest all my thriller lovers to save this to their TBR list on Goodreads and preorder, because this November drop is perfect for the holiday season approaching!

“I’m not your enemy,” I try. “I’m just a woman trying to make it through Christmas.”

Carter Wilson is back with another adrenaline pumping thriller after blowing us away with Tell Me What You Did and omg does he deliver. 👏🏻 He has perfected the kind of story that keeps you glued to your seat for hours because the action and intensity starts at pg 1 and doesn't stop. Did I stay up until midnight once I opened the book? 100% yes and you will too.

We meet Annie (an absolute badass by the way) who is on the run from her troubled past with her daughter Coral and hiding out in the middle of nowhere Colorado. But the peace doesn't last and they once again become prey.

But these aren't just your average bad guys, they're animals at their core who don't adhere to the same rules as people. They're brainwashed and broken, which makes them even more dangerous.

What they don't know is that their prey isn't as weak as they think. Annie, our badass FMC, who would go to the ends of the earth to fight for her family. And they messed with the wrong woman.

This turned out to be the perfect book for a mini snowstorm in April! I cozied up under a pile of blankets, turned on the fireplace, and tucked in. I've been craving a book that would keep my heart racing and this did not disappoint!

Expanse, Colorado, is a tiny town in the mountains where people go to disappear, and it's where we meet Annie and her daughter, Coral. A snowstorm is rolling in and there's a strange RV in town—you can feel the foreboding vibes! Annie and Coral are hiding from someone and then someone comes knocking on their door. Annie sends Coral to their hidden safe room and takes on a family of cultists who are certain she's hiding away the man they've been hunting. The tension ramps up and lasts through to the surprising ending (which I'm ashamed to say I didn't even see coming). What a ride—I highly recommend it!

I have been all over the place with Carter Wilson’s books. This is my 4th and I’ve varied from a DNF to 5⭐️. Thankfully, “When They Find Me” fell closer to the latter! This book had moments of tension and anxiety that had me covering the page so I didn’t skip ahead and ruin the last line of the chapter. Annie was a great protagonist, and the supporting characters were interesting, unique and left me wanting to know more about them. Great last 30% and satisfying ending! Where it lost a star for me is, without spoilers, just some of the lengths that Annie went to, as a former receptionist (I think) who turned into basically John Wick/MacGyver. That, and there was a good portion in the middle that dragged out longer than I enjoyed. I think reading this in the winter would add to the appeal, and I will gladly recommend it!

A knock on the door completely changes Annie’s life not once, but twice. After a traumatic event, Annie and her daughter, Coral go on the run and settle in a secluded cabin in Expanse, Colorado, population 313. There is a huge blizzard that has them snowed in with nowhere to hide when trouble comes to find them. Only this isn’t the trouble that Annie was expecting. Is it much worse?

What takes place in the hours after the knock comes is dizzying! What follows will have you on the edge of your seat flipping pages until you reach the conclusion. And the final twist? I was totally floored, my jaw dropped and I had to put my Kindle down just to take it in for a minute!! Told in alternating timelines and POVs, Wilson masterfully weaves the story together with fine precision. You will definitely want to carve out a good few hours, at least, because you won’t want to put this one down!

Wow, talk about an explosive page turner!! This book reads with the intensity of a high-speed chase and the claustrophobic fear of being trapped in a locked room. The tension and suspense were palpable, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The isolated setting and the impending snowstorm added even more levels of stress to an atmosphere that was already overwrought with anxiety. There were so many climactic moments that I simply lost count. I loved it! After reading and loving Tell Me What You Did, Carter Wilson has now become a fast favorite. I look forward to all of his future ventures as well as devouring all of his backlist. What a fantastic book! Thriller lovers, you are not going to want to miss this one. It's that good!!

My first time reading Carter Wilson’s work, and I LOVE IT! I prefer my thrillers to have a combination of elements like scary, disgusting, gut-wrenching, and a deep dive into the plot and this is exactly that for me🙇🏻‍♀️

A real page-turner, completely unputdownable thanks to its great pacing, it never gets dull. You’re constantly waiting for what’s about to happen next. It has a mix of dark origins, cult-ish elements, and female rage (definitely!). You can vividly imagine the scenes, just like in a movie.

Everybody needs to get their hands on this once it’s out, pronto✊🏻. You’ll get invested, then attached, and you’ll keep thinking about it again and again even after you’re done. Oh, and winter setting? you expect great things from snowy weather my dear fellow readers and you’ll get it🫣❄️

I’ll definitely come back to post my deep dive once published!

4 stars. This absolutely could have been a 5 star read for me if one question/situation was different. This is about a woman and her daughter escaping a horrific experience, that left her husband dead and her a fugitive. She escapes to a small town, but suffers a home invasion, when a cult-like family bursts into the wrong home looking for another man. Her ordeal is terrifying and she protects her daughter, hiding her in a hidden room. The twist at the end was absolutely brilliant and never saw coming at all!!!!!! The only question that made it 4 star instead of 5 is what was her intense loyalty to the neighbor? Why didn't she tell them they had the wrong house, and give up the neighbor who was the intruders intended target?? If I push that out of my mind and just enjoy the book- I LOVED IT!!! Highly recommend!!‼️🔥

This one may be one of my TOP FIVE READS of 2026!!! Holy cow ... what ride was I just slung off of?

This is the second book THIS month, and we are only 4 days into May, that I have read in one day>. What is in the water?

This is one of those books that hooks you from page one and never releases you. You get mid-book, and you're like ... something is just not right???? It's far more than a thriller. It's psychological because you're trying to analyze all the characters. Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Is anyone telling the truth? I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and if the dog got hurt, I knew it was over for me. I would stop reading no matter what. FYI ... the only thing I'm giving up the dog does not get hurt!! The ending of this book ... you're not going to see it coming!!!

Annie Wolfe, and her daughter, Coral, are living in a tiny town in Colorado. They are hiding there under assumed names because Annie is convinced that someone from her past will hunt her down and kill her and her daughter. When their hiding place is finally discovered, Annie must do whatever it takes to protect Coral -- whatever the cost.

I wanted to know how Annie and Coral's story ended, but it was a difficult trek through a lot of skepticism in the way the home invaders behaved, and through all the violence that ensued. That being the case, I wanted to give three stars initially, but decided on four because the craft of writing is skillfully executed, even though the book wasn't my cup of tea and I would not choose to read this author again.

When You Find Me is a riveting thriller with relentles pacing.

It is unputdownable.

This book will have your heart pounding while you hold your breath hoping for the best for Annie and her daughter Coral. Not to mention the dog.

A home invasion takes place on Christmas Eve and Annie knows she will have to fight for their lives.

The stakes are high and When You Find Me is white knuckled it is so intense.

The atmosphere is perfect as a winter storm rages and the pacing impeccable

Buckle up its a wild twisted ride and one you shouldn't miss.

Carter Wilson has outdone himself with this book and I am quickly catching up on his back list.

Thanks to NetGalley and Poisioned Pen Press for the absolute privilege of reading and reviewing When You Find Me.

Wow what a ride that was. Fast paced, complex, complicated in the best way and full of unexpected twists and turns. The story had me guessing til the very unexpected end.
A fantastic read, 5 stars.
I read Tell Me What You Did by this author and absolutely loved it, couldn't wait to get my hands on the newest book, When They Find Me published by PPPress.
Annie is hiding from bad people in a tiny town in Colorado. She's prepared as good as it gets, but evil finds a way.
The story jumps between past and present, tells from mostly dual pov and is an epic mfudge. The heroine is a wounded warrior with her back to the wall.
When They Find Me by Carter Wilson is a tearjerker of its finest, my fav read in 26 so far, all the stars.

Some books just hook you from page one and have your heart racing all the way to the end. The snowy cozy cabin, the Christmas music, mom setting presents under the tree, you feel ready to enjoy a cozy mystery. Yet it will be anything but. When you have a shady past, shady characters are bound to come knocking.
The setting is definitely its own character, but Annie and Riven pulled so hard at my heartstrings. Broken through no fault of their own, they find themselves in an impossible situation, fighting for their lives while facing their own reckoning. And the twist at the end? It gutted me.
