Look Behind You edition by Sibel Hodge Literature Fiction eBooks
Wow. I picked up Look Behind You on a whim. Kindle $0.99, what’s to lose? I’ll tell you what I lost: time. I could not put this book down and during the past 5 hours I lost all track of time. Engrossing, absorbing and mind-blowing. That was the best $0.99, ever!Chloe Benson wakes up in the dark, her hands and feet tied, her head aching and she has no idea what is going on. As she drifts in and out of consciousness, she tries to piece together what happened; the last thing she remembers is her husband’s 40th birthday. The only conclusion Chloe can come to is that if she does not escape, she will die. Determined and with the help of a piece of bone she finds, Chloe is able to escape. But, that is when the book really picks up because it turns out her husband’s birthday was seven weeks ago.
Her doctors, the police, even her control-freak of a husband, Liam, all do not believe she was kidnapped. They are unable to trace where she was being held. Recent events in her life point to the fact that Chloe might have had a mental breakdown. As she struggles to remember what happened, she begins to doubt herself. Her wild accusations and her tendency to become agitated when she is frustrated make her story less than credible.
As Chloe begins to puzzle tiny clues together, the memories trickle in. Paranoia takes over and she begins to suspect everyone: her husband, her friend, even a student at the school where she teaches. The reader will begin to doubt Chloe as the story messes with the reader’s head as much as it does Chloe’s. It’s a fast read, well paced, a true page-turner and a great story.
Highly recommended.

Look Behind You edition by Sibel Hodge Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
On the surface, Look Behind You seems like a pretty decent read, but the problem isn't in the writing but in the predictability of the story. I love a good thriller. I love it when a great book keeps me on my toes and throws curveballs at me just to keep me reading. Sadly, this isn't one of those books which is unfortunate because everything you need for a decent thriller is there. A woman wakes up to realize she's been kidnapped. She escapes with and we're off to a great whodunnit am I right? The problems begin right away. Chloe may or may not be crazy and this right here is where you know what happened even before the halfway mark of the novel. Big red flags are everywhere while Chloe begins to figure out what happened to her because the hit on her head gave her a convenient case of amnesia. The why here should have been treated with huge plot twists, but no, we don't have that option. It's all pretty much laid out for you and there's no big reveal, no aha! moment near the end to prove that we're wrong. We aren't wrong and that sucks.
This could have been a great book. It is in parts, but it feels like Hodge is just crafting a book based on ideas of other writers. Other writers that know how to pace a novel like this, how to throw curveballs that keep us interested in how the story progresses. From the moment Chloe escapes, we know who did it, and the why is really all that keeps us reading. When I found out the why, I was a bit let down because it's a case of the obvious suspect because he's a psychotic douchebag. I wanted to like this novel, I did a little, and it sadly shows us how not to write a suspense thriller. Take away all of the suspense and you have Look Behind You. Its heart is in the right place, but in the end, it just falls flat. We've already read better novels in which the character is clearly in danger while everyone else just thinks she's crazy. We know she isn't, and we know who is trying to kill her, and we shouldn't know that in the first half of the book. There should have been a huge reveal, but no, we get an oh, that's why he did it. Well, okay then, thanks for that. Disappointing to say the least because Sibel is a decent writer. She's able to hook us in right away, but towards the end it just becomes too damn predictable.
I don't remember reading any of the books written by this author before and I am certainly going to read more of her books. This was very suspenseful and everyone was a suspect until the end. Wow. I enjoyed the story very much.
Someone wants Chloe Benson out of the picture, she's sure, but who? and why? Or is she being paranoid and just imagining everything? This is a psychological journey into her mind as she tries to put together all the pieces that will give her the answers she needs.
The story starts with some very claustrophobic scenes. Chloe wakes up and finds herself bound and in complete darkness. She has pains all over her body. She doesn't know where she is and doesn't remember how she finished there. After a lot of struggle, despair and much determination she makes it out of the underground trap in which she was and runs for her life through the woods.
She then finds herself in hospital being treated for dehydration and shock. She knows that someone kidnapped her. After being questioned by doctors and the police, she realises that she has lost her memory. She knows who she is but she can't remember anything that happened in the last few weeks.
Having previously suffered from depression and hallucinations, no one believes her story. They are convinced that Chloe has imagined everything. That this is another story lived only in her mind, maybe triggered by some reaction to the medicine she was taking. But Chloe knows that she didn't imagine her ordeal; she knows she's not mad, does she?
With her memory loss, having no support from anyone and suspicious of everyone, including her husband Liam, Chloe is on her own but determined to dig deep in her quest to find the truth. But will she make it on time before whoever kidnapped her last time returns to complete the deed? Or is everything only in her mind?
This is a terrific story, full of twists and turns as the author skilfully unwraps the mystery little by little. I really enjoyed reading this Sibel Hodge thriller and am looking forward to read more from this talented author.
