Someone's Watching Me
by Zoe Rosi
Special thanks to the author, publisher, & netgalley for my advanced copy.
This wasn’t what I expected at all. Not to say that I was expecting to be wowed but considering the title of the book. I figured the storyline would be something juicy. WRONG!!!!
We have Becky who suddenly becomes unsettled by her new neighbor. Mind you she doesn’t know him initially and prior to the neighbors arrival her life was perfectly fine. Then boom one day she goes to stare out the window of her home and who does she see staring up at her? The neighbor, right.
That part pulled me in. I can see why she found the neighbor a bit creepy given the scenario. However, this could’ve just been a coincidence too. But she let this one situation turn her upside down almost instantly. Literally as soon as this first run-in occurs a line of disastrous things begin to happen in Becky’s life. Now everything from that point forward falls back to it could be the mysterious neighbor doing all of these things.
What disappointed me was the story itself was fast paced because it’s short but I was left unamused. I felt it lacked a lot of depth and there was no real thrill or excitement. Becky kind of irked my nerves with her paranoia which was making the story drag. Just one assumption after another is all I can say. None of the characters are memorable.
But the kicker ended up being the creepy neighbor turns out to be her brother. Who she hadn’t seen since they were kids. I honestly felt like everything was so forced. Nothing built suspense or felt like a mystery to me. Just a bunch of rambling on and on and trying to force us to believe someone’s watching her. Which someone was stalking her lol but the author did a horrible job bringing it altogether.
Then the ending was just like hey I know you tried to kill me and ruin my life but you’re my brother I forgive you let’s make up.
I’m not going to say I recommend but read at your own will!!! My rating was solely given for effort.
