'A TAUT, CLEVER THRILLER THAT LEFT ME UTTERLY BEREFT WHEN I'D FINISHED. IT'S A MASTERPIECE' Louise Jensen, bestselling author of The Sister

From the author of the million-copy bestseller The Girl With All the Gifts comes a heart-stopping psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming and a heroine you can't trust . . .

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.

Liz Kendall wouldn't hurt a fly. Even when times get tough, she's devoted to bringing up her kids in a loving home.

But there's another side to Liz, one that's dark and malicious. She will do anything to get her way - no matter how extreme.

And when her alter-ego takes control, the consequences are devastating.

Someone Like Me is the intoxicating new thriller from the phenomenal M. R. Carey. A modern take on the Jekyll and Hyde tale, think Gone Girl meets Stephen King - but you won't have read anything quite like this before . . .

Praise for M. R. Carey:

'An intense, haunting thriller with heart. You will not want to put this down' Laini Taylor

'Carey writes with compassion and fire' Lauren Beukes

'Enigmatic and utterly gripping' Harper's Bazaar

'Keeps you on tenterhooks as the action unfolds' Elle

'Heartfelt, remorseless and painfully human . . . a jewel' Joss Whedon

'Original, thrilling and powerful' Guardian

'If you only read one novel this year, make sure it's this one' Martina Cole

MEDIA REVIEWS
A taut, clever thriller that left me utterly bereft when I'd finished. It's a masterpiece Carey['s] boundless imagination is in fine form . . . A thrilling, genre-defying treat A taut and haunting psychological thriller which you won't want to put down

This quirky story from the author of The Girl With All the Gifts is off the scale in terms of imagination and really rather brilliant

A first-rate, superbly paced paranormal thriller

An intense read perfect for Gillian Flynn fans

An outstanding piece of popular fiction

Bold and unpredictable . . . The first half of the book continually finds ways to wrongfoot the reader. Just when you think you know what kind of story Carey is telling, he shifts gears and forces you to start your deductions from scratch. It's scary and incredibly tense A dark, supernatural thriller that blurs the edges of the world we know An accomplished page-turner A suspenseful, disturbing, and emotionally honest read A mind-blowing psychological thriller . . . Highly recommended for all horror and psychological thriller collections An intense, haunting thriller with heart. You will not want to put this down A fantastic, twist-upon-twist, shape-shifting novel. Gripping, deeply affecting and arrestingly beautiful, it is a haunting tale of raw horror and extraordinary redemption. I adored every page A dark, intriguing read [A] grand piece of storytelling Incredibly creepy A twisty crime thriller as well as an exotic ghost story, Carey's second novel is as hard to categorize as it is to put down Combines a fast-paced plot with a supernatural storyline that's very believable. Gripping stuff As brilliant as it is dark and devious This eerie tale is sure to hook crime fiction and horror lovers FELLSIDE builds to a climax that's both satisfyingly worked out and shockingly emotionally intense Bold and hauntingly evocative The next fantastic novel from M.R. Carey Dark [and] suspenseful I read [FELLSIDE] in a couple of days... I was absolutely nuts about it As fresh as it is terrifying . . . A jewel Original, thrilling and powerful Takes hold of you and doesn't let go
