Meriel is famous, but not the kind of famous a celebrity wants. She has to uproot her and her daughter's life because of a stalker. But moving back home means bad memories and new issues.
I love the mystery Joshilyn creates in her characters. The ones you like turn out to be people you don't want to like. The stalker mystery could be anyone and you guess through the whole story until that person is reveled and you think, Who, I don't believe it?
I love the way her stories are a mystery until the end, I haven't been able to guess the bad guy in any of them and they always surprise me, but there are other surprises that I don't see coming that don't necessarily have to do with the main storyline.
I do love the daughter and her being autistic gives us a new diverse character to fall in love with, which I do, I love Honor so much in so many different ways. She is a definite surprise and joyful character to love.

Immaculate creepy stalker vibes. I read Mother May I by this author and fell in love with her suspenseful writing style. Joshilyn has a way of keeping you at the very edge of your seat through the entire story.
Red herrings and twists throughout the story kept me engaged and guessing until the very end. I guessed multiple possible endings as I was reading the story but was happy to discover that I didn't guess all the parts. I'll definitely be looking for this to add to my shelves!

Great book, especially on audio. The author developed the characters in such a way that I thought I knew them personally!

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!
