Sheila Tao is a college professor, who is engaged to Morris, an ex pro football player turned high stakes banker. It seems that she has a picture perfect life. However, Sheila has a seedy past and has been sleeping with her TA, Ethan (who is also in a long term relationship), for a few months.

Once Morris proposes to her, Sheila decides it’s best to end things with Ethan. Feeling a bit scorned and jealous, Ethan develops a plan to take what he thinks is his. After all, if he can’t have Sheila, no one can.

I can’t recommend Jennifer Hillier enough! I’m never disappointed when I read her books. Creep is now added to that list. It was captivating and had me thinking about it when I wasn’t reading. I figured out the twist about half way through but I really enjoyed reading the backstory that supported said twist. 

There were a few times that I wanted to scream, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” at Sheila because some of her choices were just *facepalm.* I could overlook that though. I definitely would recommend this for all of my thriller reading people.
