Safe With Me by K.L. SlaterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Really? A debut? They say that those are the best and Wow!!!
I was consumed by this book. Spent two nights reading until the sun came up.
The awesome-creepiness of the book was due to the first person view of Anna. What a nut case! But seeing things from her point of view? Wow.
And then no one was who you thought they were. I don't want to give anything away, but nothing is what you expect and then that happens again. And again.
I love the character development. And I loved being wrong about what I just knew was right.
I know this may seem weak as a review ... I just don't want to do spoilers. But if you are in to psychological thrillers and strong characters and twists, then this is for you!
I don't know how K.L Slater did it without being psychotic too! The scenes were at time so awkward because you simply cannot believe that someone's brain works this way! Reminiscent of the Stephen King novel (particularly of the movie version with Kathy Bates and James Caan.
Brilliant!! I want more!

Genre Suspense, Thriller
After years of trying to get published and never getting further than the slush pile, I went back to university at the age of 40 where I studied for an English & Creative Writing degree followed by an MA in Creative Writing.
Although I also worked full-time during the five years I studied at university, the courses gave me the time and space to try different writing and increased my confidence and belief in my writing. Before I graduated from my MA, I had secured representation with my agent, Clare Wallace, at the Darley Anderson Literacy, TV and Film Agency and had my first book deal.
My first adult psychological thriller for Bookouture is called ‘Safe with Me’ and it actually started life as my dissertation on my English & Creative Writing degree.
The creepy voice of Anna came to me strong and insistent . . . she wanted to be written, she wouldn’t go away.
I live in Nottingham with my husband, Mac. Between us we have three grown-up kids; my daughter, Francesca and Mac’s sons Nathan and Jake.
