About this listen
I can’t sleep.
Not since June 16th, 2018.
Not since what happened....
Traumatised by the events of her past, exhausted by insomnia, Becky Braithwaite believes that a new start will help her to recover.
She leaves home to fulfil her brother’s dreams, and honour the life he never had…but she soon finds that escaping from the pat is not as easy as she imagined.
Is her fatigued mind playing tricks on her, or is danger really lurking in the shadows?
This unpausable psychological thriller will keep you listening to find out the truth.

Story
My precious daughter. You have no idea how dangerous the world is. No idea of the horrors I’ve shielded you from. The things I’ve endured...our past. We’ve been happy. We’ve been hidden. We’ve been safe. But our perfect life is about to come crashing down. Because they’ve found me. And they’re about to reveal my darkest secret...to you. I’ll do anything to protect you, darling, because if you knew—I’d lose you forever. You can never discover what I’ve done...or what I’m willing to do to keep you safe.

Story
Marissa Irvine arrives at 14 Tudor Grove, expecting to pick up her young son Milo from his first playdate with a boy at his new school. But the woman who answers the door isn't a mother she recognises. She isn't the nanny. She doesn't have Milo. And so begins every parent's worst nightmare. As news of the disappearance filters through the quiet Dublin suburb and an unexpected suspect is named, whispers start to spread about the women most closely connected to the shocking event. Because only one of them may have taken Milo - but they could all be blamed.

Story
Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

Callie was living in a ten-acre home in the stunning Adirondacks with her husband. She missed her son, who was away at college, but she was coping pretty well with her empty nest. Then, the nightmare began. Her husband Abel skidded off the road into an icy lake. His truck hit a tree and plunged into the frigid water below. Now, this once-vital 43-year-old carpenter lies in a coma, surrounded by bleeping machines and the hushed rumble of the ward at Pearl Medical Center in Vermont. The police say it was an accident, but the details remain murky.

Story
Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development.

A psychological thriller that will mess with your mind
Lack of sleep can really mess with the health of your mind and body. Becky is struggling to deal with a past “incident”, but she can’t help but feel there’s something more going on...
J.E. Rowney really did a fantastic job of hooking me with this story. The tidbits of information that were shared throughout the story all came together in the shocking ending. I have to admit, I didn’t see that ending coming!
Kate Parry’s narration was so well done. She did a great job of bringing out Becky’s paranoia and anxiousness.

slow burn
I liked the book well enough but felt that it would have been better suited for a short story or perhaps a novella. The narrator did a wonderful job of conveying a sense of dread, stoking the fires of this slow burn.

Subtle clues to a heart wrenching truth
At first, this read a little like Becky's diary, logging in the number of times she couldn't sleep. But as the story progressed, the pace picked up and there was just enough detail to reveal what actually happened with the "incident."
Becky's battle with guilt is heart-wrenching, and even though her roommates are kind and willing to offer friendship, she still isn't able to open up fully. The cyclone of medication, psychiatrist visits, and the inner turmoil of facing her past pulls for the reader's empathy every step of the way.
I love how subtle the clues are dropped in. They're seemingly insignificant until Ms Rowney unveils their importance. Without giving it away, I believe the end was the perfect resolution to this story. Slightly ambiguous, tugging at the heartstrings, and beautifully told.

Too depressing.
As some of the reviewers have said, this book will leave you thinking.......Sleep deprivation. Not good for body or mind. Becky is trying to function normally at university without sleep. It's not working out so well.
I felt the book drug on at times. And was just too depressing for me to enjoy. The story was interesting with good characters. The narrator did a nice job of relating the characters and their attitudes. There just wasn't anything exciting going on.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Story Origin.

A great story
This was a frightening story. Becky is trying to deal with her brothers death. She thought leaving home & going to school would help her but it didn’t work out that way. Her phone kept ringing but nobody was there. She kept seeing someone watching her outside her home. Then she had an experience in the library that creeper her out. This story will draw you in. The ending really surprised me. Great story that is well written and keep you guessing.

Insomnia Issues
Studies have shown that insomnia can cause not only physical health issues, but also a mental health breakdown in a person that is unable to sleep. In her novel, J. E. Rowney portrays this mental decline in her protagonist Becky Braithwaite very well. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting as I was moved by Becky's condition and kept trying to figure out if it was her brain playing tricks or truly someone wanting to hurt her. I recommend this book to others who like this genre. Kate Parry's narration is good as her voice is clear and expressive. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

I struggled with it :(
the synopsis of the book promises "unputdownable psychological" and a thriller that "will keep you turning the pages to find out the truth.". I can agree that I did not see this results coming, but I found the book itself a little slow and I struggled with it.
"the gripping psychological thriller that will keep you awake at night."? I doubt it...
I did like the narrator, and I think she did a good job.

Not what I was expecting.
This is just okay. It doesn’t seem like a psychological thriller to me. Just a story of a girl with demons. I did listen to this on audio. The narration was good.

It started a little slow, but then picked up.
This was really a good read or listen to. I only became a little frustrated with the fact that it was not addressed that sleep deprivation can certainly lead to hallucinations, and not remembering that you have done things when you really have. But then again, this was not part of that story I like the fact that it was not predictable, and that the ending did not leave me on a cliffhanger.
