The Night Watcher was a wild ride from start to finish! I was hooked right away and genuinely had no idea what was coming next. The twists and turns kept me on edge the entire time, and I found myself constantly trying to piece things together, only to be surprised again and again.

I listened to the audiobook version, and it was excellent. The narrator was clear, concise, and brought the story to life without overdoing it. There were no issues with the audio quality, and the performance really enhanced the overall experience. Story was well paced. Listening time is roughly 9 hrs.

If you're into dark thrillers with unpredictable plots and atmospheric storytelling, this one's definitely worth your time. I'd recommend it to fans of suspenseful fiction who enjoy a good psychological twist.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC audio.

🌙 Bookish Thoughts
Night Watcher is not a book to listen to at night. The vibes were eerie, the dread was slow building and it definitely gave me some anxiety! It felt like true crime meets psychological thriller and I was fully into it!

It started strong and kept my attention. Nola made some wild choices and I definitely questioned her survival instincts more than once.

The full cast narration really elevated the audiobook. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook! This was a solid 4 star thriller!

🔦 What to Expect:
• True crime podcast
• Creepy stalker
• Childhood trauma
• Full cast narration
• Serial Killer

📖 Final Score: 4 stars
