Fear Thy Neighbor by Fern Michaels
3.0
This book jumps right into events that are thrilling, keeping you turning the page in order to find out what possibly could come next.
The timeline of things seems a bit implausible. The entire book seems to take place in a short amount of time, with the exception of the flashbacks that add a deeper insight into the main character, Ali, and why she is the way she is. The ending seemed to be tied up in a neat little bow, but it left me unsatisfied. There was so much repetition on Ali sticking to her guns on staying on Palmetto Island in her newly acquired yellow beach cottage when more time could have been spent diving deeper into the other characters of the story. Valentina, Rene, John, Kit, Gib and Hal (plus many more) seemed to fall flat.
The writing was clear and the train of thought easy to follow but it won't be a title that sits with me for a long time because it barely scratched the surface of a very interesting plot. I will read Fern Michaels in the future because I found the story entertaining and hope that in any future books the characters and plot are dived deeper into.
I did like the romantic aspect of the book, though it seemed to come out of nowhere. I found it sweet that after spending so much time alone, attempting to stay off the radar, Ali found people to build relationships with it. I wish Kit had made more appearances because he seemed to be an absolute doll.
