📝 3rd Person POV from Elisa & Stalker; Check Triggers
This was a pretty solid domestic thriller. We learn from the very first chapter that there’s something not quite right, which is only intensified by Elisa’s concerns about her brother-in-law and his missing fiancé. To complicate issues, we also realize that Elisa is battling her own mental illness, which has us and all of the other characters of this story questioning her view of reality.
The gaslighting in this book is is pretty heavy at time, which had me wanting to scream at these characters from time to time. And don’t get me started on Elisa’s husband Harris… I have so much rage towards him.
And while I won’t spoil anything for you, the last chapter had my jaw on the floor. There were quite a few twists along the way, but that last one I never saw coming.

This is the nightmare Elisa is living. But no one will take her concerns seriously.
I absolutely loved this book with all the twists and suspense. I loved that I wasn’t fully sure who the “bad guy” was until the end because it kept pointing to a few different characters. This was my first Darby Lane book and I can’t wait to read more of her work.
