Someone Is Always Watching by Kelley Armstrong
3.0

[a:Kelley Armstrong|7581|Kelley Armstrong|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1625010968p2/7581.jpg]Generally, I power through reading with ease, but for some reason I held off finishing this book. It was a slower read for me, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Kelley Armstrong is a strong and cohesive writer. I loved the detail in her writing and I did not have to backtrack after setting the book down for a day or two. It is, indeed, a psychological thriller, but I do not believe it was a psychological thriller that aligned with my personal taste.
A lot of the characters were thought out well, (Tanya being my favorite) while others just seemed to have a walk-through experience that made me more curious about their character development, but it was lacking.

The last 30% of my book were my favorite. It was inventive, a little twisted, but I felt overall, the book took a little too long with teen nuances to reach the precipitous of excitement thirst in a psych thriller.

I'd like to take my age into account. I do love a good YA, but it just seemed like a lot of teenage back and forth, which works great given the character dynamic. All was deployed well and will hit its centered market beautifully.

I would be interested in other books by Shelley Armstrong on a more adult level and refer audiences of a more YA late 20s market.

Also, the cover to the story doesn't add up much to me? Is it a filing cabinet? post?
