I didn’t make it one chapter in. Boring and childish descriptions and this is just me personally but I couldn’t stand the voice of the woman doing the audio. She sounded like she was nine.

With My Little Eye follows Mirabel Mills, an aging B-list celebrity, as she relocates from LA to Atlanta in an attempt to not only revitalize her career but shake off “Marker Man” an increasingly disturbing stalker. The only other constant in her life beyond her career, is Honor, her Autistic daughter. The tension builds very slowly throughout the majority of the story then it becomes a mad dash to the conclusion. There are plenty of red herrings to keep you confused and second guessing the motives of the men in Maribel's life, because every one of them seems a little shady. With the exception of Honor, I found the characters to be lacking. Maribel seemed to have no personality outside of “actress” and “mother to an Autistic child” which only made the confrontational behavior between Cam and Cooper as they jockeyed for her affection fall flat. But then I always figured actors spent so much time in their characters personality that they didn’t really have one of their own, so maybe this tracks. Plus, you’d think with her own stalker, she wouldn’t stalk her ex-husbands wife on Instagram. Cooper struck me as weird from the start, and not someone Maribel would seriously consider as a partner. Cam was the cookie cutter boyfriend/bodyguard that really added nothing to the story other than being part of a not-quite-love-triangle and a convenient adult. The odd Cooper sub-plot just seemed kind of tossed in to fatten up the book, then we just pretend like it’s all cleared up and taken care of. I also found it unbelievable that Maribel-who up until the last few pages of the book is the very definition of milquetoast- suddenly manages to save herself (with a conveniently placed loose end that finally made me understand why we had those smatterings of Marker Man’s POV). Despite this, I did enjoy the story and rate it 3.71 out of 5.
