after devouring wendy walker's first book of mine, DON'T LOOK FOR ME, I had high hopes for this one, and while I enjoyed it, it definitely wasn't my favorite.
I loved the premise of it - a cop who saved a local store from a tragic event ends up being the victim of a stalking herself, only to find out that not all is as it seems... I certainly thought it couldn't be that obvious, so I was a bit disappointed to learn that there wasn't a big twist like her other book.
wendy walker's writing is so entertaining, and the story absolutely sucks you in whole!! the MC elise was a very unlikable character, but I felt that way because some of the "ugly" traits she continues to exhibit throughout the book was very realistic for people going through trauma. I loved the representation of it all!
what disappointed me was the old fashioned trope of "oh the bad guy is stalking me and told me that he would harm my friends and family if I told anyone so obviously I'm not going to tell anyone" 🙄🙄
LIKE NO TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!! GET SOME HELP!!
anyway, what I loved most about this one was elise's support system and how they all reacted to her trauma differently 😰 and boy was the main antagonist creepy!!!
overall, this book just reminded me a lot of how to get away with murder and I found myself wishing that some of the outcomes were different just a little bit
thank you to netgalley and blackstone for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review! this one's out next june!
