No.. No..No.. it can’t be! When Abby’s doctor tells her she’s two months pregnant, first there’s shock, then disbelief. She hasn’t been with anyone in more than a year .. so how is this possible?
Desperately seeking an explanation, Abby remembers the New Year’s party she attended … about 2 months ago. She remembers being at the party, she remembers waking up with the father of all hangovers.. and not much else. This baby must have been conceived that night … but who was she with?
She enlists the help of her friend, Danny, who hosted the New Year’s Ever party. She feels that she must have been drugged and assaulted … and she wants a list of all the men who attended that party.
While starting her personal investigation, she starts receiving anonymous text messages…and packages delivered to her home that she shares with her sister and brother-in-law. Someone knows her secret .. but who? She’s only told one person .. her friend Danny, but he swears he knows nothing about any of it. And she’s pretty certain that someone is following her.
This is well-written, the story line is intriguing. Characters are well drawn, warts and all. Can’t say that I liked most of them, but they drew me into their stories. It was fascinating to see how Abby goes through and accuses first one man and then another of fathering her child. Yet she feels attracted to one of the men that she thinks may have taken advantage of her when she was passed out. There are some twists and turns that point first in one direction, then another. Th conclusion was a total surprise …
Many thanks to the author / Querus Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
So this is one of those stories that actually sounds much better than it actually was.
There was nothing really wrong with this, it was well written and all but I felt that everything seemed to take forever and a day to accomplish here and events began to get a bit stale and then same all, same all.
The beginning and end of this were quite good it was the middle here that managed to lose me somewhat.
This still had a lot going for it and I was still invested in the characters and their eventual fates.
So the introduction was explosive and I really did like it.
It set the scene for things to come and because of it, I was questioning everyone’s motives and hidden agendas.
As this story unfolded this is where things started to take a nosedive for me I felt Abby was going around in circles and I just couldn’t believe that nobody was taking the poor girl seriously.
Not her sister or her best mate Danny, this shocked me slightly and also made me very sad that she had no one exclusively fighting her corner.
I also felt that Abby had no deeper connection to Alex at all beyond the superficial, despite what she claimed I just wasn’t feeling any warm and fuzzies from her at all.
I felt that this side-plot was there just to add some flavour to proceedings but in my opinion, this really was not needed.
Abbie herself came across as a slightly selfish neurotic individual and this was told completely from her POV.
I didn’t really like her as a character and maybe if I had taken more to her I might have liked this book better.
I also felt that none of the relationships portrayed here seemed that deep and they lacked meaning.
The connections and friendships all seemed flimsy and somewhat superficial so as a result I never really formed a deeper attachment to anyone.
The finale itself here I thought was really good and also the epilogue was also very much to my liking.
On conclusion despite some ups and downs here I did enjoy this it just didn’t entrall me or blow me away.
It did have a great original premise and as I said was well written.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of “Deliver Me”

many twists and turns the ending was only a chapter or two or the finale…
Wow!!! Hard to put down—even at 1 am!!
This book was quite intense. Abigail finds out that she is pregnant even though she don’t remember anything. So, the hunt for the truth begins and she is suspecting everybody from the New Years Eve party.
Thanks to Netgalley for this copy.
this was one book I loved but so hard to believe. I had too keep turning pages because I felt there had to be a logical explanation !! No hints here!! Just read it!!!
It’s pretty hard to surprise me, but this book kept me guessing till the end. Outcome surprised me as well. Congratulations.
Had a great surprising ending!
This book kept me guessing until the end
This book started off a bit slow for me. But it definitely picked me up and ran!
Karen Cole is a master of deception, and I can begrudgingly admit she had me accusing multiple men of committing the most heinous crimes.
What Abby endures through this entire book is a terrifyingly real possibility, maybe exaggerated a little for the fun of story telling, but a very real scenario nonetheless.
Karen Cole did a phenomenal job of bringing Abby to life. On more than one occasion, I could feel her fear, and my heart was racing right along with hers. To such an extent that my dogs picked up on it, and became alert. (I finished this book at midnight- so for them to wake up from my book induced panic… is there really anything left for me to say?)
Outside of the slow start, my only complaint is the intense “UKness” of this book. I had to google a few terms, to ensure they matched what I thought they mean in US terms. I’m a huge fan of UK writers; their thrillers just superseded the ones I’ve read in the US, and this is no exception!
A truly wonderful, twisted, consuming novel.
