The Obsession by Nora Roberts
3.0

My feelings about this one are definitely mixed. It started off with such a gripping first chapter but kind of lost its way a bit. Naomi moves to a house that needs a lot of work and a huge chunk of this book is about colour schemes and DIY. If you're into doing up houses and matching your crockery to your kitchen cupboards then this is definitely for you. I guessed who the bad guy was pretty quickly as well. It's definitely an obvious one. I also hated the fact that the who dunnit, attack of the damsel and the why is wrapped up in 11 pages. It's a 528 page book and it's all done in 11 pages and finished completely in a further 9. I hate it when books build it up for so long and then just hurry to get it all done. All that being said the romance side was cute, there's an adorable dog, the majority of the characters are all super likeable and I did enjoy the storyline.
