Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens

Never Let You Go by Chevy Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


She thought she'd escaped him forever. But will he ever let her go?

Eleven years ago, Lindsey Nash fled into the night with her young daughter, leaving an abusive relationship behind. Her ex-husband ended up in jail and Lindsey started a new life.

Now, Lindsey is older, wiser and believes she has cut all ties with the past. But when Andrew is released from prison, strange things start happening. Lindsey's new boyfriend is threatened, her home invaded and her daughter followed.

Her ex-husband denies all knowledge, but Lindsey is convinced he's responsible. Because, after all, who else could it be...?


Nice little psychological thriller with plenty of red herrings and twists along the way. Although I did guess the ending it was not so obvious until late in the book which is always nice.

Plenty of suspense, pacey with engaging characters, alternating between the past, present and flashbacks over a period of 10 years we learn of Lindsay's suffering at the hands of her possessive and manipulative husband Andrew and her determination to get herself and her daughter Sophie as far away from him as possible. When he has served a prison sentence for killing a woman in her car in a road accident when he tries to chase Lindsay and Sophie he returns back into their lives once again. Lindsay, terrified of what he might do to her and her daughter confide in a couple of people but Lindsays paranoia lead her to suspect only one person for things that start happening in her life, Andrew. She needs to look a little closer to home.

As I said, I did guess the ending but not until Chevy Stevens was ready to let me, a great roller coaster of a ride, lovely atmospheric writing and good strong characters held this together until the end. Would definitely read another of this authors books - this was my first. Absolutely worth 4 stars, a cracking read - buy it for Christmas!

I would like to thank the publisher for sending this in exchange for an honest review.
