4.5 I really liked the way relationships developed throughout this book. The story held my interest and there were even moments that surprised me enough to have to rewind and say "wait, what?!" out loud.

4.5 STARS!
Meribel Mills is an actress that is getting disturbing fan mail from a stalker. She is a single mom to a 13 year old girl, Honor, who is on the spectrum. Meribel starts getting disturbing fan mail letters that are fruit-scented markers with hand drawn pictures of her. Although the police insist that stalkers hardly every escalate to violence, Meribel has played the dead girl one to many times on TV to risk becoming her in real life. She decides to move from LA to Atlanta to get away from the stalker. But, eventually the letters continue to come to her new home and the stalker follows her out to Atlanta.
The author did a great job with characterizing Honor as an autistic child. I felt I was brought into Honor's world with her description of a young girl on the spectrum.
This Psychological Thriller, Mystery creepy novel had me on the edge of my seat. Once the story got going it was hard to put down. Some surprises at the end of the book. The ending was fast-paced and tense. The only thing I didn't like was the ending was to abrupt. I wish there was an epilogue to finish it up.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Jackson has long been an auto-read author for me. The plot of this new thriller had me continually going WAIT, WHAT?! There's intriguing misdirection and the twists will keep you guessing. Recommend!

With My Little Eye is a thriller/suspense release that I was lucky to receive on NetGalley. This book is about a 90s sitcom actress Meribel and her autistic daughter Honor who leave LA for Atlanta due to a stalker who leaves Meribel scented letters and has even been in her house. Unfortunately, the stalker follows her to Atlanta and continues to haunt her.
Overall the premise of this book was good, but at times was hard to follow due to the different POV’s and lack of chapter titles. I thought that Honor was more of the leading lady and I truly loved her character. I was shocked by who Meribel’s stalker was and finding out the second plot twist with Cooper.
I would recommend this book but it is not my favorite. Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the advanced copy!
