Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with a tech twist and strong, emotionally resonant characters, Keep Me Safe delivers both suspense and depth. I read it in one sitting and can’t wait to see what Allison Meldrum writes next.

Rated 5 out of 5
The pacing is spot on, the story suspenseful and full of interesting characters. Most compelling is Maggie, who battles severe anxiety, yet she is skilled, determined and resilient. This is a complex mystery with humanity.

This book was brilliant. you felt like you were right alongside the story figuring it out, feeling unsure, feeling unsettled. and this was both exciting and atmospheric. I can’t wait to see what Allison will write next and want to be reading it.

Wow what a great book! I really enjoyed the premise of this book. The characters are great. I even enjoyed the secondary characters. The writing style was great and this really was an easy read. It had me hooked from page one. I don’t always have a hard time putting books down but this one had me..lol. I highly recommend this book if you are in a reading slump. This was a first for me by this author but will not be my last.

Emotional, heart-wrenching, and suspenseful all at once. The characters are written with such vulnerability that you can’t help but root for them, even when danger looms. A perfect blend of tension and tenderness.

A Word From The Author

Allison Meldrum has been writing since a very special English teacher with a pocket watch and three-piece suit told her that she might be quite good at it. Previously a newspaper and magazine journalist, Allison has had multiple short stories published and selected as Editor’s Picks by Toasted Cheese and East of The Web . She has also contributed works to two short story anthologies, Tolerance and Autumn, through her involvement in Transcendent Authors, a group of international authors who found common inspiration from these themes.

Allison’s debut novel The Life I Owe Her examines two themes very close to her heart: Parenthood and Friendship. Early readers have praised the book for its arresting premise, utterly compelling tension and wonderful voice.
