The author grabbed my attention at the very beginning and brilliantly kept me on the edge of my seat as I tried to figure out what was going on... I would definitely read more from S.E. Lynes and recommend The Pact to anyone who loves a good psychological thriller. Five out of five stars.' Lady J's Bookish Nook 'A thrilling read, this book has twists and turns galore and I devoured it in one sitting!' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'A brilliant, beautiful book which leaves the reader simultaneously shattered and full of hope - quite an achievement. Perfection.' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'I loved this book and consumed it in 2 days!' Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars 'Full of tension and shocks. The twists and turns were fired out like a salvo of ammunition and what happened was truly terrible and unthinkable, but also sadly so possible in our modern times when unimaginably evil things seem to be daily events... I loved the fast paced storytelling, the wonderfully crafted characters and the cleverly plotted all action, all s blazing story. Lovers of modern psychological thrillers will lap up this novel.' Goodreads reviewer 'Wow, wow, wow! S.E. Lynes just gets better! I absolutely devoured this book, loving the characters and the plot...I cannot wait for the author’s next novel! This is an absolute must-read, and I think will be in my top ten books of 2018.' Into the Reading Corner ‘An unnerving psychological thriller… had me on the very edge of my seat, whilst holding my duvet up covering one eye from the horrors I was reading, but at the same time not able to turn the pages quick enough.’ The Glass House, 5 stars
