Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  Sucharita1986 | Feb 2, 2023 |   All I can say is WOW; Jessica Payne is an author to watch! Right from the get go, we are hit with a chilling intro; a young girl named Norah escaping her friend's killer, her friend who lays dead only feet from where she stands. Flash ten years forward and Norah has fled from her hometown with the need to escape her living nightmares. The threat of the killer's promise to have her forever still lingers over her, but she has trained and grown into a badass MMA fighter and coach. Her level of discipline surpasses anything I could ever see myself living, and it makes her all the more admirable. She is strength and determination, carrying the guilt of survival and the weight of knowing the killer could still be out there lying in wait for her. Her father's death forces her to go back to her home town for the first time in a decade to handle his funeral and his home. What is meant to be an efficient visit of handling her father's assets and helping her best friend find the wedding dress of her dreams, turns into a horrible nightmare when another of their friends is found dead and the same detective who handled the case from ten years before, tells Norah not to go too far. The twists and turns that I found myself reading had me unable to put this book down. I have never been great at solving mysteries or figuring out whodunit, but this was a wild ride of shocking twists, steaming romance, and gut wrenching surprises that left me shocked and in awe. I found myself frustrated for Norah and with Norah on many occasions throughout this journey. The blatant negligence of the detective on the case, the total lack of self preservation from Norah in regards to holding her truth safe, but all these realities are very real and haunted me to the very end. I highly recommend checking out The Lucky One, and seeing what other treasures Jessica Payne has to offer. (  ) Araskov | Sep 20, 2022 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Ten years ago, I survived a serial killer. They called me the lucky one, but they don't know the truth I've been hiding ever since... Then: We danced together that night, our dresses glittering in the swirling lights. We couldn't have known that for one of us, it would be our last night alive. Now: Back in my hometown a decade later-the place I've avoided because of the memories-I can't shake the feeling that I am being followed. I tell myself it's all in my head, but the prickle on the back of my neck feels like a warning. Then the anonymous messages land in my inbox: I'm watching. I've been waiting for you. I want to feel safe, surrounded by my closest friends. But everyone has something to hide and it's impossible to know who I can trust. When my friend Esme goes missing, her phone ringing through to voicemail, it feels like the past is about to repeat itself. Someone won't let me forget what really happened that night. What I promised. How I escaped. If the truth comes out, I only hope they can forgive me... I can't make the same mistake again. I have to keep us all safe. What if, this time, I'm not so lucky? An addictive, nail-biting psychological thriller, The Lucky One will have you sleeping with the light on. Fans of Stillhouse Lake, The Girl on the Train and Gillian Flynn will be totally hooked!

The Lucky One by Jessica Payne is a gripping psychological thriller. The plot is so absorbing and interesting that I could not take my eyes off. The characters are so secretive that I was not even able to guess the real culprit. But the end was so fantastic and twisted. Definitely, a powerful debut.
5 stars for the book. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book. (
