What? Ugh! Seriously?
Oh my I don’t even know how to rate this one let alone review it! So for now 3.5 stars rounded down.
Did this novel pull me in? Most definitely! I was hooked right away and absolutely could not put this book down. It totally consumed me and I was constantly trying to figure out what the heck was going on! Was it him…..was it her….and then the ending….oh brother, seriously! That is what my thoughts were exactly after reading!
BEHIND HER EYES by SARAH PINBOROUGH was an intriguing, gripping, exciting, and compulsive psychological thriller that grabbed my attention from the very first chapter and had me on the edge of my seat in anticipation for that ever so exciting and unforgettable ending that everyone seems to be talking about. Except after finishing reading this book I was a little disappointed about that ending. Sorry!
And here is why…..trying not to reveal too much of why this didn’t work for me and spoiling the ending for someone else I will try to explain myself. Simply I seen it coming and I didn’t want it to go there. You might ask how did I see it coming? Well, I have a really overactive imagination and like to see things in a different light and what might be seen as eccentric. If I didn’t see where the author was going with it would it have still been surprising? Absolutely! Was it a good read? Absolutely!
I must say that BEHIND HER EYES is an absolutely brilliant title for this book! Absolutely brilliant!
SARAH PINBOROUGH does deliver an extremely gripping story here that was well-written and had me totally engaged in the slow-building suspenseful story-line with a few good twists that had me questioning and guessing what was actually happening until I actually figured it all out. I think if I didn’t figure it out it might have been a much better read for me!
To sum it all up it was an entertaining, enjoyable, suspenseful, fast-paced, quick and easy read with a twist ending. Would recommend!!

Coulee: a term applied rather loosely to different landforms, all of which refer to a kind of valley.

Excellent review Norma!! It always takes away from a book when you figure out the ending too soon. Ugh! I've been on the fence about this one but your review is making me more curious about it....
Boy, did I relate to your feelings. Reminded me of a book I felt the same way about. You sure did a great job with your review, Norma! I've picked this up several times at the bookstore. I'm happy, now, that I didn't buy it. Thanks.

hehehe True
Great review! I just finished the book myself. I also think the title was very clever! I thought the ending was a bit of a letdown and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around all that happened. I'll be thinking of ... well, everything ... for quite some time!!

Great review, Norma! I totally feel your opinion here. I considered giving it a 3.5 as well. For me mainly because I didn't know if I liked the ending. Left me feeling very Gone Girl-like hahah Gripping and yet you're like wteff! Pardon me, please! Great read though.
Thank you so much, Amy! LolI know that I didn't much care for the ending but like you said it was a gripping & surprising read though. This was a hard one to rate for me.
Totally agree, same case here. I liked the book but saw where it was going from the middle. The toughest part, though, was that the villain made no mistake in the whole story and the "hero" didn't even have the opportunity of a confrontation. A thriller with an abyss, not a cliffhanger, at its end
So true Marcos! This was such a strange read for me and it looks like I was definitely not alone with my thoughts on this one! :-)
Norma fantastic review! Can’t believe you figure that out! You are quite the detective! 💕
Ditto to what Berit said! 👆🏻. Amazing!
