Because I'm Watching

Firstly I would like to thank the author publisher and Netgalley for my advanced copy of this Masterpiece! This is my first novel by Christine Dodd and I have to say it won't be my last by a long shot this was an awesome read from start to finish.
I was hooked with this book from the first couple of pages and managed to finish it in a few days that's how good it was. I did not read the first two books of this series but it is so well put together that it reads like a standalone. Two emotionally broken protagonists each battling their own personal demons and seeking solace and comfort in each other when they can in this thriller where real and imagined terrors are lurking and where you might actually find a monster under your bed if you looked hard enough. Jacob and Maddie's relationship is not one of instant need to have you kind of love which makes this more plausible and meaningful it's a slow burn that burns so bright at the end. I love that we the reader are able to see the many levels of all the Major characters the sheriff is a complex soul that you can relate to. I am hoping that the next book in this series gives a more detailed description of her past or she at least gets her prince no matter how dark and dangerous he may be. This small town draws you in part of what I enjoyed about this book was the way that everyone either wanted to help each other or hurt each other it conveyed the atmosphere of a gossipy small town very well. This was a 5 star read for me but only because I can't give it more. Job well done!
