I enjoyed everything bar the ending. There was so much suspense throughout the book, it kept me trapped and I didn't trust a single character. I couldn't wait to see who was behind the weird happenings. But finding out it was her jealous sister was anticlimatic and then the house fire just didn't feel right. Plus, I would of liked to know more of the aftermath such as how her and Flynn got back together, what did they tell people that happened? However, I did like the very last page about her sisters manuscript being moulded between them both and their mum, plus the extra "for my sister" dig. But ultimately, I'd of liked a more dramatic ending.

Really enjoyed this book, I wasn’t expecting the twists at the end and it kept me guessing throughout.

Voyeurism - Someone always watching you does creep you out! The red herrings were very red and very ... fishy ... and just when you thought you knew the answer there was another change. And each little 'Previously' chapter laid another path to travel upon, only to change direction on you. @lucyclarke_author has done an exceptional job with this book and it is coming to you, from me, highly recommended.
I was glad it ended the way it did. Not that I am into spoiling things for you, but sometimes the result you get is what is meant to be.

Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.

Elle is a young writer whose debut has become a bestseller netting her enough money to renovate her dream cliff-top house in Cornwall. She has a few problems though: 1. Money is running out fast and she’s suffering from horrendous writer’s block for her second book. 2. After letting her house on Air B&B while on holiday to bring in a little extra money it no longer feels “right”. 3. She’s having trouble with her ex. 4. A difficult relationship with stay-at-home mum, sister Fiona. And 5. Her neighbour’s son who may or may not be a stalker.

The story was gripping, claustrophobic and delightfully twisty. It kept me guessing all the way through.

It’s been a long time since I raced through a book in a day! I loved this, yes it might be a bit silly in places and a lot of coincidences but every time I thought I had it worked out, something else changed. It kept me guessing and the final twist was unexpected but still believable. A number of different threads that could all have played out well.
Elle is quite unlikeable though, it wasn’t her that held me. Actually I kept hoping that she would suffer in some way because she was so annoying.
I just loved the plot and the way it all fitted together.
One of my favourites this year!
