  This is very helpful for learning what we(survivors) have been living with for decades and haven't been believed or supported. This is an easy to read, easy to follow. and easy to carry aid. There is information and support for you now. Do not give up on yourself. Let this book help you.
  The only disappointment i have is with the cover illustration. Most of the CNs in my life ~ and there have been many ~ have been female. With grey marker, i drew a shadow figure behind the female(holding a sharp knife!) to make the illustration accurate. It helps me every time i pick up the book for the immediate help & reassurance i get. Thank you SO much Theresa Covert and all the therapists who research this little known abuse.

  I am hesitant to call anyone a Narcissist. I feel it is thrown around easily and often by hurt people who may not know what they are claiming.
  
  This book helped me understand what a Narcissist truly is, and even so, what the really undercover and charming Narcissist is capable of.
  
  A much needed resource for anyone who thinks they may be dealing with a Narcissist, and how to identify those behaviors and manipulations.

  I am in the midst of dealing with a “friend”/business partner who is a covert narcissist. I knew there had to be a name for what I experienced with her and I found it in this book. The book put to rest everything I was feeling and let me know it is normal. It also showed me a pattern—this person was not the first
  covert narcissist to entire my life, but I promise it will be the last! Quick read with a great deal of valuable insight.

  This book is a great place to start my healing journey. At times I felt like it was written just for me. It was very insightful. However, it was a bit wordy and repeated information. I felt like the author needed a good editor. I also think resources and citations should be included. Even a chapter on this would be helpful. There are free online forums specifically for victims of covert narcissism. Listing online resources would be nice. And citations would make the book credible. Other than that, I found comfort in the contents of the book. It helped me feel validated and answered many of my “why” questions. It’s very informative. I now have the tools to begin my healing process. Thank you.

  This book was a Godsend for me. So insightful, perfectly describing so much of my painful experience while also providing valuable realistic but encouraging advice on how to heal. Thank you, Dr. Covert. Seems you were born to write this book.

  Reading about other survivors of narcissistic abuse and their similar experiences strengthened and encouraged me because you feel so alone and heartbroken and confused. The steps to healing and knowing that I will heal and come out a stronger person in the future was encouraging. I enjoyed reading this book and read it in one sitting. I highly recommend it for anyone who has been through narcissistic abuse.

  Thank you so much for this book. I have only just recently discovered I am married to one and we have a young child together. I don’t know how to get out of this or if I can but at least I know what I’m dealing with now and it’s devastating yet exhilarating because I am getting answers. This book helped me figure out how to deal with day to day life and I am forever grateful.

  This book would be better if there weren't so many typos!! They should have had someone proofread a lot of misspelled words and grammar defects!!

  Author Dr Theresa J. Covert should have had this book professionally proof read and edited. It has not passed through a firm of professional publishers.
  It has many grammar mistakes. Clearly the author is foreign to Britain and writes the way she talks, not in correct English.
  If I had known how badly this book was written I would not have purchased it.

  I find it incredible that this was written by a professional. Whilst the content is relevant, this can be found in similar texts related to the subject. It is littered with typographical errors and spelling mistakes, which renders it implausible and difficult to read. For example, 'Covert' (the descriptor) reads 'Convert' multiple times in the first few pages. The text doesn't flow. Really poor editingalthough it appears totally unedited. Very disappointed.

  The Kindle version of this book is in desperate need of editing. English may not be the author’s first language. That, combined with the innumerable typos, makes this a very hard read, despite the valuable information presented.

  This helped me tremendously. To see these traits in another but also to see them in myself! A must read if you recognise 'narcissism' in your childhood/present life situation.
