I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn't stop turning the pages.
A.J. Campbell knows exactly how to get under my skin, and She Must Go is another reminder of why she's one of my favourite psychological thriller authors.
The story follows Beth Lakeland, who's already dealing with more than anyone should have to while undergoing chemotherapy. When she and her husband, Justin, meet Immy at the airport and offer her a place to stay, it seems like a simple act of kindness. But it doesn't take long before things start to feel wrong, and the tension keeps building from there.
What I loved most was how believable everything felt. Nothing seemed over-the-top, which somehow made it even more unsettling. I found myself noticing the little things alongside Beth, questioning people's intentions, and wondering who could actually be trusted. That constant feeling of unease had me completely hooked.
Beth was such an easy character to root for. My heart broke for everything she was going through, and I just wanted someone to believe her. And Immy... she gave me chills. Every scene she was in made me feel uncomfortable in the best possible way.
The pacing was spot on, with short chapters that made it impossible to stop reading. Every time I thought I'd worked things out, A.J. Campbell threw in another twist that had me changing my mind all over again. I flew through the final chapters because I had to know how it was all going to end.
If you love psychological thrillers full of tension, manipulation, family drama, and twists that genuinely catch you off guard, don't miss this one.
A tense, addictive, and brilliantly executed thriller that reminded me why A.J. Campbell remains one of my go-to authors.

My new fav by AJ!! I read this in one day!!
This one grabbed me immediately. The tension is sharp, the characters are messy in the best way, and the dread builds so naturally you don’t even notice how deep you’re in until it hits. Campbell just knows how to twist a story without ever losing control.
Dark, addictive, and easily one of her strongest.
