We Watch You by N.S. Ford

4.0

What's it about (in a nutshell):
Three friends can't believe that one of their own could be dead, so they go on a fact-finding mission to determine what happened to their childhood friend.

What I Enjoyed:
The characters were unique and well-developed. I loved how interesting the characters' unique aspects and personal challenges are. Each one came to life on the page and compelled me with their journey separate from each other.

The sci-fi angle definitely intrigued me. Like Wendig or Koontz, the surprise sci-fi element of the story fascinated me with its implications. It also adds to the thrills even after I closed the book and thought back to the story. It created that lasting creepiness that marks a good psychological thriller.

The story is full of thrills and fast-paced. I adore a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat from page 1 until the last page, and We Watch You is just that type of novel. The stakes stay high for the three friends as someone may be after them as well as the friend they are trying to find. And, I never could have guessed the conclusion, and it is absolutely jaw-dropping.

Characters:
I adored Louise, the main character, and that she contends with being on the Autism spectrum. I thought that her challenge was portrayed realistically and intriguingly. It is also handled with the utmost respect and not as a plot device. Or is it?
