Review

“Vivid, unflinching and craftily plotted, Because She Loves Me is a dark and twisty tale that is sure to be another big hit!” —Chris Ewan

“Yet another superb psychological thriller from Mark Edwards. Because She Loves Me perfectly shows off his extraordinary talent for characterisation, gripping plot, and the ability to make you read just one more chapter before reluctantly putting it down.” —Luca Veste, author of Dead Gone

“Seriously addictive and keeps you guessing until the final page.” —Tamar Cohen, author of The Broken

“Twists, intrigue, and masterfully-created psychological suspense. Guaranteed to make you drop everything and keep turning the pages.” —Sibel Hodge, author of Look Behind You

“Dark, sexy and utterly addictive, Because She Loves Me is domestic noir at its very best.” —Eva Dolan, author of Long Way Home

Really? Really?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2020

Verified Purchase

It's taken me five years to get around to reading this book which shows that I wasn't exactly raring to get started..... like a number of other readers I found the weird uncorrected continuity errors inexplicable - the cafe which becomes a pub/the stolen clothes which become burned/the tea which becomes vodka/the smashed legs which become a broken spine - I was astounded to read that the book had been re-edited since it's original release, well not by anyone paying attention and that Mark thanked his wife for being an early reader of his books, I'm sorry Mark but I think she might have skimmed the book and not actually read it.

Aside from the glaring continuity errors the story is OK, there is a lot of sex and it does read like something a YA might have written or a YA might want to read but it’s the ending which really stretches credulity. Really? Really?

I'm giving this 3 stars as I did manage to finish it, although for a short book it felt very loooong, my advice would be not to pay more than 99p for this book, it will while away a few hours but won't make much of an impression.

Awful badly written rubbish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2020

This is the first book I have read by this author and it will be my last. It was badly written and for the first part of 5he book I thought I was reading soft porn. Why is it male writers write sex scenes so excruciatingly badly.

I finally gave up and read the last chapter as suggested by another reviewer. I am so glad I didn’t waste my time on reading the whole book.

Never disappoints

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2018

Andrew has a spell of bad luck in his life. Tragedies seem to follow him until one of them lets a light into his life. After recovering from his operation, he bumps into Her, the One. Andrew never believed he would ever find someone to share his life with but now their relationship evolves in high speed. Can Charlie be any more made for him? They are perfect together! What begins as a ‘it was meant to be’ story soon begins to turn into obsession and jealousy. Be ready to shake your head and mentally slap Andrew to open his eyes, to not be so so stupid. He made me so mad sometimes, just thinking why he can’t see it. But then not many people in his situation do, not until it’s too late. But as usual, there is more, a lot more yet to come. You think you worked it out? Yeah, sure you did…

This book is, as every book I read by Mark Edwards so far, absolutely brilliant. I don’t know how he does it but he’s a genius in creating these so strong and extreme characters that won’t let you put the book down.

Reasonably engaging until the 'twist' about 3/4 way in then loses credibility

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2022

Verified Purchase

Starts OK. Boy meets girl by chance and girl throws herself at him so he becomes smitten. Even here you have to suspend some belief as it becomes clear that he is an inward-looking loser who seems to have no male friends. Women, however fall at his feet and want to bed him - really? The tension builds as more events pile up involving his ex girlfriends and work colleagues suffering injuries, discreditation and even death. Lots of questions are raised for me about why he acts as he does, putting his best (girl) friend in danger by staying over at her place at the drop of a hat, when other girls he has contact with have been targeted. Was wondering how he would extricate himself from the toxic relationship when, out of the blue, a minor female character who has had only the scantest of mentions, turn out to be the main protagonist. If we are to believe it she has been besotted with him despite never going on a date or having sex with him. From there the credibility is completely gone as the author tries to justify and explain all the events to fit in with the new twist. It does not wash as does the way that the original girl forgives him and he her and they are set to live happily ever after. Hogwash!

Difficult to rate 2.5 would be more accurate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I can't say I didn't enjoy most of this book as, for about 70% of it, I found it difficult to put down. However, it became far-fetched - to say the least - towards the end. So many deaths, weird mutilation, and a villain who is scarcely mentioned throughout the story. Unexpected twists to plots are exciting but I think it's cheating to have the transgressor turn out to be someone who, throughout the story, has had little to do with it. Reasonably good read and cheap but had it cost more I would have been very disappointed.

A slightly unbelievable story of jealousy and obsession

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Easy read, interesting story about jealousy and obsession but unbelievable and disappointing twist.

I semi-enjoyed the book and it was a quick read, kept me captivated almost throughout, apart from the sex scenes of which there were too many. Same in Edward’s Magpies. Way too much sex.

Spoiler alert

The main let down is the twist. Why does the baddie of the story have such a tiny part to play until the moment she reveals herself to be the killer.

The author could have dropped a few hints and made the reader doubt any of the female characters a bit more, but there wasn’t anything in the story to point suspicion towards the actual baddie or any other possibilities. All is revealed in the end and explained in detail because there is no way for the reader to connect the dots because there are no dots offered in the story.

Could have been so much better.

A good start but rushed ending.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2018

Verified Purchase

The book started well but fell to bits at the end. I expected a twist at the end but this was all crammed into the last 10% or so. There were mistakes in the plot where the characters morph from a cafe to a pub with no explanation. I would probably try another book by this author but would read more reviews first. No one likes a dud ending and I thought little effort had been put in the last few pages. I have awarded three stars as it was an easy read and passed the time.
