Leodora isn’t just entering the thriller arena – she’s kicking the door clean off its hinges. Thriller royalty, take note: she’s coming for the crown.''There's hotness and mess but also nuance and sensitivity. Plus a cracking, layered plot. 2026 is going to be Ex-Obsessed''The twists, oh my god, the twists''Consider my flabbergasted. I cannot believe this is a debut novel…I absolutely devoured this book in one session''A mystery which reveals itself page by page in the most unexpected of ways''I raced through this book. It gripped me from the very first page and I couldn’t stop reading! … Loved it. The writing is razor sharp, the characters are brilliantly crafted and the story is propulsive and pacy. More from this writer please!''This is the easiest 5-star review I think I’ve ever written''This new author has become an automatic one-click favourite for me! It was a phenomenal debut novel and I can’t wait to read more!'
