‘Your Life For Mine’ by Karen Clarke is the first book I have read by Karen Clarke and I must thank Harper Collins UK, the author and NetGalley for the ARC.

We meet Beth, a woman whose life hasn’t been what you could call normal since being saved from death by an innocent person twenty-six long years ago. Since that day she has lived with the guilt being saved has caused her. She has kept this a secret from almost everybody for such a long time and now she has a perfect life, gorgeous house and beautiful daughter too. Until the day comes when she discovers someone wants revenge. That someone has made it crystal clear they are going to get it as well, but who? Beth herself has no clue so, everyone is a suspect in this edge of your seat story.

The story is told in first person so we are as confused as Beth, not being able to pinpoint anyone. This creates so much tension in the story and I couldn’t stop reading, the pages were being turned at such a speed that I read it overnight!

I enjoyed all Karen Clarke’s characters, they were crafted so realistically and they could be almost real. Noone was perfect and that’s always good! I loved the flaws that everyone came with, it made them even more realistic.

In conclusion, a thriller that grips you and won’t let go until the last page.
