What if Lolita got her revenge? Reads like a glossy 90s thriller . . . OBSESSED

—— JUNO DAWSON

NOT ONE TO BE MISSED THIS SUMMER

—— EVENING STANDARD

Fierce, frightening, bold and beautiful. Clear your schedule for this one, Nobody But Us is savagely gripping

—— CHRIS WHITAKER

I totally loved this book - a literary thriller which is both incredibly readable and thought-provoking. Beautifully written, compelling and perfectly plotted - nothing not to like

—— CATHERINE COOPER

Fresh & sharp. Who can resist a beautifully-written thriller featuring a forest & no phone reception? Atmospheric, edgy and completely engrossing - it grips like a vice. Exceptional

—— WILL DEAN

I absolutely loved Nobody But Us. Teeming with suspense and masterful foreboding, you'll be OBSESSED with 2022's Most F*Cked Up Couple! As spellbinding as it is sinister

—— JACK JORDAN

A dark and atmospheric character-driven psychological thriller with a complex and clever couple at its core. If you like your stories with a heavy dose of revenge, you'll love this

—— Culturefly

This book took my breath away. Clever, thrilling and compelling, I couldn't stop turning the pages until the oh-so-satisfying ending. Make sure you read this next year!

—— LIA MIDDLETON

An isolated house in the snowy woods, a cat-and-mouse chase, a story packed with secrets where nobody is what they seem ... I loved the flashbacks expertly woven into the tale to reveal the dark secrets of a relationship

—— ALLIE REYNOLDS

Brutal, tense, and utterly compelling, Laure Van Rensburg is an electrifying new voice

—— LOUISE O'NEILL

Not an exaggeration to say this left me breathless - a relentlessly tense revenge thriller that's as beautifully written as it is savage and twisty

—— KATIE LOWE

Misery meets Malcolm and Marie... An intoxicating, head-spinning and heavy-hitting revenge thriller

—— HOLLY SEDDON

Nobody But Us is unapologetically brutal, clever and raw: a psychological thriller that stabs a razor-sharp knife into the bruising issue of consent (and - for good measure - gives it a twist) while pursuing a page-turning game of cat-and-mouse in the most evocative of settings

—— PHILIPPA EAST

I raced through Nobody But Us in a couple of days. It's a tense cat and mouse thriller and I enjoyed being toyed with...

—— LAURA PEARSON

A propulsive thriller that is atmospheric and haunting, with so many twists that it left me breathless. At the core of the story is a rage-fuelled message, a cry of fury that demands to be heard. A triumph of a novel

—— JESSE Q. SUTANTO

Devoured this in a day. It's the reading equivalent of a 'hall of mirrors' where nothing is as it appears. Once you start reading, you can't stop

—— JULIE OWEN MOYLAN

Superbly written, so sharp, descript and cunning. Deliciously dark and utterly addictive.

—— LOUISE BEECH

Beautifully savage and cunningly sharp, Nobody But Us is destined to become your next obsession. The almost unbearable tension will trap you with Ellie and Steven in their twisted relationship where nothing is as it seems. Trust no one in this electrifying debut, and prepare to be completely consumed

—— LAURIE ELIZABETH FLYNN

Inspired by real stories and events shared during the MeToo movement, the cat-and-mouse power struggle between the pair will force you to decide whose version of history you believe

—— Woman

I raced through this pacy zeitgeist thriller...for those who love their books dark, twisty and a tiny bit deranged (in a good way!)'

—— ROSIE ANDREWS

Nobody But Us is such an addictive thriller filled with secrets and mind games and never knowing who to trust. But it's also chilling and beautifully written with a powerful message at its heart. This is one book I won't be able to stop thinking about for a long time

—— Claire Douglas, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Girls Who Disappeared'

Full of corkscrew twists and subtle turns, this...novel confirms Lodge as a gifted writer

—— Daily Mail

Clever, pacy, well-written and utterly gripping

—— C.L. Taylor

Taut, tense and deliciously dark, C.J. Tudor's post-apocalyptic thrill ride is unmissable

—— TIM WEAVER
