Somebody Out There book blurb

Be careful what you wish for…

When Ben and Deborah leave the city to start a new life in the beautiful Irish countryside, they can almost taste their perfect future – growing their own food, the kids running free, peace and silence.

But as soon as they arrive in their new home bad things start to happen.

And it becomes clear that somebody out there wants them gone.

But ex-crime reporter Deborah doesn’t scare easily.

This is the life she’s dreamed of for her family and she’s not giving up on it without a fight.

As the campaign against the family intensifies and becomes truly terrifying, Deborah is determined to unmask whoever is trying to hurt them and starts to dig for the truth.

What she finds is more twisted and horrifying than she could ever have imagined.

Somebody Out There – the stunning psychological thriller perfect for fans of K.L Slater, Miranda Rijks, Teresa Driscoll.

My overall thoughts on Somebody Out There

Ben and Deborah move their family for a fresh start in the beautiful Irish countryside but they soon get much more than they bargained for.

As soon as they arrive in their new home bad things start to happen.

And it quickly becomes clear that somebody out there wants them gone.

The small town is a very close-knit community where everyone knows one another and the goings-on.

So who is after them and why?

As things start to go bump in the night, threatening text messages and weird pictures are sent to Ben, the couple begins to question their new life.

The police are little no help at all so Ben and Deborah are left to figure it out themselves.

There are incidents of animal cruelty that some readers might find particularly distressing.

I really liked Kevin’s writing style and found he described scenes really well.

However, I felt that Deborah, as a crime reporter, could have been a very interesting character but she wasn’t fleshed out enough for me. As a former reporter myself, I would have liked to have more of a focus on her rather than Ben.

This thriller has plenty of suspense and some really creepy moments.

It’s a quick atmospheric read that does keep you on your toes.
