Deliciously disturbing. 
Since it is a medium paced book, readers need to stick to it for a moment for the things to finally start falling in place. I assure you, you will NOT be disappointed. 

I was pleasantly surprised when the truth was even more sicker and terror-striking than I had ever imagined. If you are someone who LOVES thrillers and doesnt mind gore or disturbing scenes, I would say Stalker makes a great read.

4.0

Overall I quite enjoyed this book, I thought that the plot twists were quite well established and plausible, while still being a surprise. There is quite a lot of background building, a lot of character introductions and time spent outlining information about those characters that it took me a while to understand their connection to the overall plot. The writing is quite descriptive but can fall a little heavy sometimes.
