Nobody But Us: A chilling and unputdownable revenge thriller with a jaw-dropping twist

Product Information

Steven is a professor with a chip on his shoulder about his father, and Ellie is a student who seems besotted with her lover.

This was lighter on the dark academia vibes than I anticipated, and I would have preferred some sections to feature more of a focus on the couple's time at university, but that was a very minor flaw in an engrossing and immersive, wickedly devious read.

Ellie is a twenty-three-year-old university student in a relationship with Steven, a university professor who is almost a generation older.

What I wanted and expected was an emotionally hard-hitting novel about the horrors of abuse, but instead I found a melodramatic mess that romanticizes what I see as an abusive relationship.

The story opens with Ellie and Steven heading off on a three-day trip to celebrate their six month anniversary. Her mouth telling him how much she likes him, even loves him, although they have never said the words to each other. Nobody But us led me to believe it had everything I love about a contemporary romance book; two teens in love knowing they’re meant to be together.

This one centres around a "romantic" getaway weekend between a predator professor and a young impressionable student that goes awry. Este pentru prima dată după multă vreme când simte o legătură specială, pe care o vede ca fiind de durată. Stylish, sinister, scalpel-sharp and sophisticated, Laure Van Rensburg’s cunningly crafted debut is one you won’t forget.

Begins fine and gets to the set up pretty quickly and then when we reach that point…it kinda stagnates and loses its momentum as it goes back in time and tells the back story of our two main protagonists amongst others. The story centers on grad student Ellie and professor Steven who go away for a long weekend together to a remote mansion in the woods. Muscular took place on British territory, exemplifying a NOBUS capability given that the NSA and GCHQ were allies and working together on the program. The characters were believable yet unlikable while keeping horrible secrets from their pasts that will need to be revealed. This proves symbolic as nothing inside or out of the book, is quite as it appears from first glance.I spent the remainder of the class not focused on devising critical critiques for the classmates who did bring work, but instead wondering what was up.
