I started this, the last in the ‘No Escape’ trilogy, at lunchtime and didn’t really stop until a few minutes ago!
It took less than a few seconds and then I was right back into the story and back with Felicity and her nasty ex Jay who continues to stalk her and make her life a misery
Scott, her new fella is there although about to face a ‘mountain’ of his own and Vicky is soon with us again, good old Vicky, my favourite like/not like character for a long time, shes truly amoralistic but theres just something about her that reprieves her, well until she does the wrong thing again
This trilogy has been great at ‘carrying on’ where the previous book ended and always gives an update explanation as to where we are now
Jay is even more determined to get Felicity back and goes to even worse lengths to do so, he is a man possessed and woe betide if you get in his way, the thing most shocking for me is that he doesn’t realise it and cant understand why everyone is so scared of him
I was ‘in the zone’ with the first 2 books and the same with this book
A gripping, serious and harrowing trilogy full of real people, real situations and real feelings
A good end to the trilogy
The authors words at the end were very interesting and enjoyable as well
Really glad read these powerful books
10/10 5 Stars for this book and overall

NEVER LET GO is the final book of the NO Escape Trilogy, a psychological thriller by LK Chapman. The three books in the trilogy are best read in order, to follow the sequence of events. For me, this is the strongest of the three books with well-developed characters and a steady fast-paced pace.
Books in the Series Include:
Anything for Him (No Escape #1)
Found You (No Escape #2)
Never Let Her Go (No Escape #3)
“All He Wants Is His Family”
In this last episode of the trilogy, the saga continues and both Felicity and Jay have made new lives for themselves.
Felicity still has nightmares after escaping her ordeal at the hands of her obsessive ex, Jay. Felicity thought she was safe, building a new life with Scott and son Leo in a seaside town. Jay is now living with Stephanie, although she doesn't know who he really is, based on his erratic behavior, and is not sure if she wants to continue with the relationship.
But Felicia is unaware that Jay has been stalking her…and has now tracked her down. Jay has threatened Scott’s ex, Vicky, in order to get assistance, a woman who hates Felicia and wants her own revenge.
In this final book of the No Escape trilogy, Jay’s obsession with Felicity pushes him to ever more desperate lengths to get her back. Felicity soon discovers that he’ll stop at nothing, and history begins to repeat itself as she finds herself terrified, alone, and at Jay’s mercy once again.
Can she escape him before it’s too late?
This was a very intense read, and I found myself flipping the pages as fast as I could to see what was going to happen. I was on the edge of my seat! Jay resorts to frantic measures to take back his family.
I have enjoyed this trilogy and recommend it highly. Many thanks to the author and the TBC Reviewer Request Group (FB) for my digital copy.

Well I am completely and utterly speechless, I’m going to attempt to review this book but I’m pretty sure I won’t do it justice as there are just no words to explain how amazing and gripping this book is.
Oh wow, absolutely triple wow. This was a truly magnificent read and a brilliant end to the trilogy of No Escape, loved it from start to finish.
It was so very well written, in such a way that had you turning the pages real quick, with wanting to find out what would happen next. The characters were just outstanding, loved most of them but obviously not Jay or Vicki, boy were they nasty and messes up, think those two wpuld have been perfect for each other. As for the main character Felicity, I really felt for her, what she had to go through and the ongoing effect it had on her life, it's just impossible to comprehend.
However one thing that kept going through my mind whilst reading this last book, was if it was me, I'd have got self defence lessons or something like that, so as to be better prepared next time, to have a better chance of defending oneself, rather than being a victim again. It would have been good to see Felicity get the upper hand with Jay and fight back physically. After what Jay did to her, he deserved to be hurt and to suffer pain/hell like she did. Anyway enough said before I go on even more, this just goes to show how much this book has got inside my head.
So if you are looking for a trilogy that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat in eager anticipation as to what will happen next and be completely captivated throughout, then you really need to read this this trilogy as I literally can't recommend it enough.

Absolutely gripping finale book in this series.I have loved all three books and this book definitely was the best by far.
Jay is binding his time waiting for a opportunity for when he can grab Felicity and Leo so that he can be a family again,but unbeknown to Felicity that Jay has tracked her down, she is now settling down to a life with Scott,Leo and Dennis.This was gripping in the story telling and had me hooked right from the off as you never knew what was going to happen next.
This story was intense and shocking at times as Jay is psychotic in his behaviour towards Felicity that you fear for her life at times.This last book came to a nail biting conclusion that lovers of this genre will love as it will keep you on the edge of your seat with how this all ends.

Amazing conclusion to the trilogy. Felicity is settling down into life with Scott. Leo and Dennis. Scott's ex Vicki continues to cause issues for them, and seems totally unsympathetic or understanding to what Felicity went through.
Jay is now living with Stephanie, although she doesn't know who he really is, and as time goes on, she is not sure she wants to. His behaviour is becoming more erratic, and he is finding it harder to control himself.
The story is told from different viewpoints, and also tells us more of each characters back story which brings them to how they are today. The book is really gripping as you wait to find out what happens to the characters. There are some unexpected revelations and twists; all in all it makes for a fitting end to the series.

I would strongly recommend that you read Anything for Him and Found You prior to reading this book, which is the conclusion to the trilogy. For me, this is the strongest of the three books with very little let up in pace and yet still allowing for some further character development. Having read the first two books already, I was well aware of the obsessive, unpredictable, paranoid and possessive natures of several of the characters and could therefore just get swept along in the thrilling action. I will ensure that there are no spoilers by not saying anymore; if you like your thrillers dark, pacey and with the spotlight on some of human natures more troublesome aspects, give this trilogy a try.

“Never Let Her Go” is the third and final book in this riveting trilogy of psychological thrillers by LK Chapman. As before this book jumps straight in where book 2 finishes. This book had me gripped from start to finish. It’s not often that I read a complete series of a book so close together but this was one I had to do just that. I fell a little bit in love with one of the characters (detested another with a passion) and shall really miss them as if I knew them in real life.
A superb trilogy which I highly recommend.

Never let her go by L.K Chapman.
After escaping her ordeal at the hands of her obsessive ex, Jay, Felicity thought she was safe, building a new life with Scott and son Leo in a seaside town. Little does she know that Jay has tracked her down and wormed his way into the confidence of Vicky, a woman from Scott’s past who has her own very sharp axe to grind…
Omg. A fantastic read. A thrilling and gripping story. I was surprised.
Thanks to tbc for an arc of this book. 5*.

Never Let Her Go is the final installment in the No Escape Series by LK Chapman.
I have read and enjoyed the first book, Anything For Him; and the second book,
Found You; in the trilogy and looked forward to seeing how the story ended.
Anything For Him sets the scene for the story. Felicity meets Jay at a distressing time in her life and at first he seems like the perfect guy. However, all is not as it seems. The first book is very intense, as we are introduced to the troubled mind of Jay who will go to any length to keep Felicity to himself.
In the second book, Found You, Felicity is trying to move on from the life she had with Jay. She has a son and has met a new man, Scott; who is helping her through the nightmares and anxiety she suffers with due to her previous life. This book is a lot more slow paced, however we discover a lot more about individual characters and the justifications for their actions.
In the final installment, Never Let Her Go, Jay finds Felicity and goes to desperate measures to get her back. Very much like the first book, this book is very intense and we see the twisted mind of Jay doing anything to get Felicity back with no regard to the consequences. A very gripping, edge of your seat read. There is very much happening in this book at once, however it comes together well adding to the intensity of the story.
I have enjoyed this trilogy and look forward to reading books by this author in the future.

Excellent end to the trilogy. The first book was truly shocking in parts and the second two carry on that theme. The behaviour of some of the characters is truly terrifying, Jay is psychotic in his behaviour and Vicky isn't far behind!
Very tense and a really gripping read, I would definitely recommend all three of these books.

Love love loved it what a fantastic read. If your a fan of psychological dark and twisty then this is for you. The characters are well written and make you want to shout “ what are you doing” . You think the story is going in one direction at a break neck pace only for it to change. I can’t wait to read the next instalment and see what happens to Fliss
July 24, 2019
This book lived up to my expectations. Well written, fast paced and with the same excellent characters. I really like the way the author gives us a proper finish so we are not left wondering what happened to everyone. This is an excellent trilogy, well worth reading.
July 28, 2019
I have been gripped by the trilogy and it was terrifying reading on to see what the climax would be. Felicity/Fliss is unsettled and has an instinct that something is amiss. Jay is determined as ever and his desperation is out of control. A great conclusion to the story.
July 12, 2019
Wow what a great ending to the series. I loved it and was not disappointed at all. Great writer and the characters and story felt so real I was crying and laughing along with them.
July 13, 2019
The final book in the trilogy. Felicity has settled into her new life with Scott and her son Leo totally unaware that Jay has found her and is stalking her. She still has horrific nightmares and is constantly on edge following her earlier ordeal and is all too aware that Jay is out there somewhere. Jay in the meantime has decided to take his family back. He threatens Scott’s ex Vicky in an effort to elicit her help, she hates Felicity but is scared she has made a huge mistake speaking to Jay. The story becomes more and more horrific as Jay takes desperate measures to regain his family. Had me on the edge of my seat.
July 17, 2019
A thrilling conclusion to this hugely entertaining and disturbing series. Each book in the series is told from multiple narrators and the short chapters make for compulsive reading.
The increasingly disturbed mind of Jay is both fascinating and horrific, whilst his actions and violence are terrifying the author cleverly incorporates enough of his background and childhood to give some understanding of why he grew into the person who could do such things. The psychology of the women who allow themselves to be first attracted and then completely manipulated and controlled by such men is equally engrossing.
Highly recommended!

This was a great 3rd installment to the No Escape series. I was eager to read this final book and see how Felicity and Jay's story ended. We all knew Jay was going to get hold of Felicity again eventually. He was in it for the long game and was not going to take no for an answer when it came to getting back together. If Felicity didn't want to, well then he'd just convince her they belonged together. As before with the other books in the series I read it very quickly, with few breaks as I just wanted to find out what happened. Recommended!
July 23, 2019
The third and final book in Chapman's No Escape series, Never Let Her Go concludes the story of Felicity and Jay.
As the title suggests Jay has no intention of letting Felicity get on with her life without him and he fully intends for his little family to be back together again, doing whatever he needs to to make this happen.
Felicity has met Scott and is trying to put Jay and his behaviour behind her. Can she manage this? Or will Jay win her back?
This series has given the reader a look into a violent controlling relationship, where, in this case, the male wants a perfect life with his partner and his feelings override everything else. Jay is a horrible man, but is he really? Or is he just damaged and trying to live the life he never had as a child? Who knows, but either way Chapman describes his thought processes in wonderful detail, allowing us to see deep into the psychology of Jay's mind.
She describes all the characters well and I enjoyed the relationship between them. I'd even go as far as saying I often wanted to slap Vicky and tell her to grow up.
I read the three books in succession and am glad I was able to do this, it may have taken Chapman a few years to write them but I found it difficult to put them down. These are definitely books I'd recommend, keeping in mind the trigger for domestic abuse in all its forms.

I received a copy of this book from the book club reviewers thank you
This is the third and final book in this outstanding trilogy. I’ve been gripped following Felicity’s journey of escape from Jay. The characters are well developed and have a scary (in Jays case) amount of depth to them.
A cracking read thank you

Read in one day when i was lying at the pool on my holidays. 30+ degrees and still sent chills down my spine. I enjoyed how it jumped between Jay’s life and Felicity’s life with Scott and the dramatic conclusion. Was looking forward to the third and final instalment in the trilogy. Now have Chapman’s other psychological thriller saved in my TBR
July 14, 2019
As gripping and well written as the first two books in the trilogy, this final instalment in the story had me hooked from the start. The author writes well about emotion and vulnerabilities. As twisty turny as the first novel, I would definitely recommend this to lovers of the genre.
August 18, 2019
The third and, in my view, best, story in this exciting trilogy. I read it quickly desperately needing to know Felicity’s fate. Well written with engaging characters. Highly recommended. Thank you to the author and The Book Club Reviewers Group for the opportunity to read and review this book.
August 2, 2019
This was the last book in the series. Many thanks to Tbc for allowing me to review the books. Quite thrilling they were.

A thrilling ending to a great trilogy, I was gripped from start to finish!
July 27, 2019
Well, The No Escape Trilogy has been one heart stopping, followed by an adrenaline rush read, to have researched and been immersed in the darkness of such an harrowing, and at times, truly frightening storyline for so long just shows what an amazing talent LK Chapman is, for bringing us such detail in bringing characters to life , you feel their despair, their fear, you wonder how you would react in their place, then, you feel the torment that can engulf a humans mind, that they have no rationale in their decisions, the consequences of their actions. It makes you stop and think, how many damaged souls do we pass in our everyday lives?. The brain is an amazing organ, so strong a powerhouse of information, yet the mind can be so fragile in how it processes the information it receives. There is real depth in the issues that are explored in this amazing trilogy. Absolutely highly recommend, and a well deserved 5* end to No Escape.

The third book in the trilogy and wow what an ending!! Absolutely loved all 3 of these books, they were fantastic!
September 26, 2022
WOW this is the final instalment in the “No Escape” thriller. Jay wants his family back and he will, it appears, stop at nothing to get Felicity and his son Leo back. However, she is happy with Scott and has moved on. Jay befriends Vicky who is the mother of Scott’s son, who also has issues from their past.
Stephanie, is a loner who falls in love with Jay and he really only wants her as a companion as a cover story.
This final episode is a roller coaster of a ride and when you think all is well, slam you are subjected to another shock.
Generally I love the way the novels are written, through the eyes of the various characters in the book. It keeps you keen and interested how it will all pan out.
Praise for the author to ensure you want to keep reading to the very end.
