I wasn't really sure exactly where this book was going. Interesting mystery but it could have been shortened a little bit.
A good psychological thriller. While I saw many things coming, it was still interesting to see how they played out. Hand to readers who like suspense.
A little gore and some teen death.

I overall enjoyed the story.
At times I was confused, the ending leaves me wanting a bit more information about what’s going to happen with these characters now.
The beginning of the book feels like a completely different story to the end of the book. The main character has really bad headaches, but that kinda gets forgotten? It could have worked it’s way into the plot really well though.
Sydney kinda just disappeared after her important moments. Like we don’t even know if she got told everything that happened with the experiments and what she did
I really enjoyed the premise, I think it could have just been a little tighter overall

3.5/5 stars
YA mystery/thriller- what if your memories weren't even real?
Oh man, what a gripping read! From the very beginning, Someone is Always Watching had me totally hooked. It chucks you right into the action, which I appreciated, and the mystery grows more and more complex from there. I liked the characters and the relationships between them, and the story leaves you a lot to contemplate as events unfold.
One side character felt oddly unnecessary and I don't understand why that person was included in the story. The romance subplot also felt kinda unnecessary to me, but that kind of thing is to be expected in YA. There was also an aspect of the plot that I felt lacked foreshadowing, but maybe I missed some things?
By the way...in my opinion, the official synopsis gives WAY too much away and I'm glad I didn't read it. So that's why I put that one sentence up top. I literally don't know what else to say about the plot without spoiling things (but I am someone who hates spoilers and likes to go into books completely blind, so my idea of what constitutes a spoiler is probably really rigid. Lol).
I definitely recommend that YA thriller fans check this one out when it publishes!
Many thanks to Penguin Random House Canada and Kelley Armstrong for the ARC, which I received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

it started a bit too slow, then picked up about 75 pages in, then ended kind of abruptly.
