When Layla’s girlfriend died, her heart shattered into a million pieces. But she is powerless in seeking justice against those responsible. Invasive technology monitors her every move. Wealthy men and their big companies rule this world. London is their playground and women are pawns in their game.

That’s where her housemate, Katarina, comes in. She’s brave and determined. An eye for an eye, she says. Blood for blood. What scares Layla though, is Katarina doesn’t seem to care whose blood she spills.

While Katarina’s lust for vengeance grows stronger, Layla fears she may lose herself as she twists Layla’s thoughts to match her own.

She was everything Layla wanted to be once. Now she is everything she fears.

This is a dark novel. A full list of trigger warnings can be found on the copyright page

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unhinged + surprise ending = mind blown
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024
    Dark doesn’t begin to cover the unhinged nature of this thriller. But that’s why we love to read them, right? Because it’s not real life, unless your roommate really does go vigilante at night and take matters into her own hands. I felt pretty proud of myself for being able to figure out the twist at the end, and then the author says, ‘hold my beer’, and pulls off a surprise ending that I could never have anticipated coming. Go do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book and delve into this technothriller world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars unexpected plot twists
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024
    4.5 stars
    This was my first Emma Ellis book I've ever read and I was enraptured in this story.
    This story is multi-POV following two main female characters. Layla is a video game developer. She works for a big techy corporation that is threatening to rid itself of human employees and replace them all with AI if they can't work at the same speed and productivity level of an AI. All employees are injected with a microchip that monitors their health and alerts them in what vitamins and supplements they need in order to keep their productivity level at its peak. Layla is unhappy with her job and is tired, overworked, and very stressed but she is also very shy, timid, doesn't like confrontation and likes to fly under the radar. She was also dating a fellow female employee named Isabel, who dies in a car accident because she was overworked and exhausted.
    Katarina is Layla's roommate and is everything that Layla isn't. She's sociable, works in a bar, goes out, is always buying new things, and is very out there. Layla wishes to be more like Katarina. Katarina seems slightly obsessed with Layla and decides to take revenge on Layla's job for making her work so hard and for the things that it's doing to it's employees.

    At first... I thought, wow, Katarina is really unhinged. But boy, was I wrong. Layla was really unhinged!! I was getting slightly irritated with how annoyed Layla was with work... because, if you hate your job that much, why are you still there??? I get that a lot of jobs were being taken over by AI, but... still, apply elsewhere until you find something else? I was also very confused as to how she was working so much, so hard, not really spending, yet, she was so broke. How was she not able to track where her money was going?
    I think the way the men spoke about women in this book made the storyline seem so much more relatable and realistic because it's something that we still see today in a lot of big corporations. The lack of respect for women in the workplace is all too real. I'm usually really good about being able to predict the plot twist and while I speculated the first one, I definitely didn't see the second one coming!

    All in all, this was a great read. I enjoyed Emma's writing style and the story flowed well. I will be looking into more of her books.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding speculative thriller
    Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024
    Emma Ellis has become one of those authors to me, that no matter what she writes, I’m going to read it, and I know I’m going to love it. Be Her was no exception. Wow. What a crazy ride with this book.

    Again, Ellis builds a world that while made up, is too frighteningly realistic. Speculative fiction or not, you can see these things happening in the near future, and it’s not pleasant to think about. The main characters in this book, Layla and Katarina, are well developed, as well as the men that you come to hate, you just hope for something to happen to them.

    I thought I had it all figured out while reading, but the ending definitely squashed that. The surprise twist at the end was completely unexpected, and left me thinking about the book even after I had finished it.

    Another hit out of the park for Emma Ellis. Can’t wait to see what happens in book 2!

    Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024
    I'm speechless. Did not see that coming at all. Never would have guessed that is how it would end. I loved it though! It took me a minute to catch on to what was happening. Once I did, I was mind-blown 🤯 Get yourself a copy. It's worth the read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not as exciting as her Eyes Forward
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024
    I love Emma Ellis books, especially her Eyes Forward series. This one was pretty disappointing to me. I figured out most of the ending plot twist early on so there wan't really a payoff in the end.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dark and thrilling
    Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024
    This story had me guessing the whole time! Right when I thought knew what was happening, the author would shake things up. I love how the author brings attention to big corporations abusing their employees. Even though this was just a story, it’s 100% true, they only look to replace you as soon as you’re gone. I had such a hard time putting this book down. I read it when I had downtime at work which is the only reason it took me 10 days to finish. The story was funny, thrilling, and suspenseful. I loved it!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024
    This is an interesting and entertaining book! Big corporations, AI technology and a man’s world are the running forces in the story.
    There’s lots of excitement and suspense throughout, and a great twisty ending also!
    I enjoyed the story being told from Layla and Katrina’s point of views, as they are very different people!
    This is my first book by Emma Ellis and I will definitely check out more!

    Woah woah woah - hold the bus!!!!! Those twists and turns ... incredible. I loved this story and the characters. Midway through I was convinced I had it figured out , can't trick me Ms Ellis , how wrong was I!!!! Everything about the story was pure perfection. I won't give anything away but Jesus, dystopian at its absolute best.
