The Lucky One: An absolutely gripping and addictive psychological thriller by Jessica Payne
Ten years ago, I survived a serial killer. They called me the lucky one, but they don’t know the truth I’ve been hiding ever since…
Then: We danced together that night, our dresses glittering in the swirling lights. We couldn’t have known that for one of us, it would be our last night alive.
Now: Back in my hometown a decade later—the place I’ve avoided because of the memories—I can’t shake the feeling that I am being followed. I tell myself it’s all in my head, but the prickle on the back of my neck feels like a warning. Then the anonymous messages land in my inbox: I’m watching. I’ve been waiting for you.
I want to feel safe, surrounded by my closest friends. But everyone has something to hide and it’s impossible to know who I can trust.
When my friend Esme goes missing, her phone ringing through to voicemail, it feels like the past is about to repeat itself.
Someone won’t let me forget what really happened that night. What I promised. How I escaped. If the truth comes out, I only hope they can forgive me... I can’t make the same mistake again. I have to keep us all safe. What if, this time, I’m not so lucky?
An addictive, nail-biting psychological thriller, The Lucky One will have you sleeping with the light on. Fans of Stillhouse Lake, The Girl on the Train and Gillian Flynn will be totally hooked!

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Jessica Payne, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Jessica Payne’s The Lucky One is a storyline creatively written totally outside of the box! One aspect that made it so fascinating is she made the female lead character with a past become an MMA Fighter. Never have I read of a female lead with this occupation so that was very unique.
Instantly, Jessica pulls on your heart strings with the news that Norah’s father has passed.
My favorite storyline within the whole book was the true crime book Norah was a part of with Guy Stevenson. Ironically enough it would have been a book that if it were real I would be interested in reading it. This storyline was oh so twisted and full of secrets and shocking revelations.
