Review

Every Move You Make is the latest edge of your seat thriller from C. L. Taylor. The story follows five strangers who form a support group for people who are the victims of stalking. When one of the group is murdered, the other four attend the funeral, only to receive a threat that one of them will die in ten days’ time. Can the group figure out which one of them is going to die as well as stop the stalkers that are ruining their lives?

I don’t read an awful lot of thrillers but whenever C. L. Taylor releases a book I know I need to drop everything to read it. Fast paced and addictive, I absolutely raced through this book. Taylor is the Queen of captivating premises and this story hooked me in right from the very first chapter. The story definitely keeps you glued to the page and there are plenty of twists and turns that you definitely won’t see coming. Taylor has a really accessible writing style and I loved the way the tension continued to build and build as the ten days counted down.

The characters in Every Move You Make are particularly intriguing. Taylor has created a really fascinating cast and each of our four main characters felt really well developed. I enjoyed watching the dynamic between the group change, particularly as they began to grow more suspicious of each other. I was never really sure who was trustworthy and as a result, I found I questioned all of them. Overall I think Alex was my favourite, her backstory was really interesting and I was particularly invested in her storyline.

Overall Every Move You Make is a tense and gripping thriller. If you’re a C. L. Taylor fan or you’re looking for a thriller that will have you turning pages long into the night, this is a book you do not want to miss.
