"Don't Close Your Eyes" for one minute when reading this or you really will miss something interesting and engrossing!
Told from the points of view of the two main characters - twin sisters Robin and Sarah - in the past and present, this story will definitely have you gripped from the first page, I loved it and found it very compelling.
I thought the 'Rear Window' part of the story with Robin and her curtain twitching was fascinating, we all probably notice what our neighbours do along with any changes in their routine and I can imagine how interesting and comforting it could become for someone like agoraphobic Robin to spend so much time 'spying' on her neighbours and then wanting to help when realising they were in trouble.
Even though I didn't particularly endear to any of the characters I found it didn't stop the enjoyment of the book and that it's sometimes almost expected in order to fully engage with the story.
It's well written by a very talented author, fast flowing, easy to read and that ending - you really won't see it coming.
I finished this pretty quickly, with nice short chapters that keep you reading well past when you should have stopped. I could easily have read more - I thoroughly enjoyed it and know that this book will certainly do well.
"Don't Close Your Eyes" by Holly Seddon is one of the better psychological suspense thrillers I've read in a while and considering I feel this is quite an overcrowded genre at the minute, this one well and truly stands head and shoulders above the others.
A well deserved 5 stars.
