Hmmmm as you can see by my rating I didn’t like this one, I tried but with it being such a short read it came across rushed and because of this I struggled to connect with the story line or the characters as it came across too distorted, one scene would end and another would start straight up which kind of left me reeling due to it being over with in a blink of an eye instead of allowing the reader to stay in that moment.
The back bone of the story is all there it just needed to be developed further to allow for a better flow of the story. Instead we’re given a sentence here and a sentence there, it just lacked finesse, I think it would’ve worked better if it had’ve gone into her childhood history more, then her friendship with Elliot and then her failed relationship and that’s where all of the angst and emotional baggage she would’ve gone through would’ve seeped into the story and allowed me to connect with her character.
Like for instance we know she was raised in foster care only because it was stated in a one line sentence and that’s all we get, I would’ve liked to have read more about her childhood since she was the leading character in this book.
Others have really enjoyed this book going by high ratings for it but sadly it just wasn’t for me.

Have you felt a strong emotion for someone you've never seen, never had a conversation with? I’ve always felt like I was being studied, shielded.
Goosebumps frequent my skin and the hair all over my body stands at attention. I’ve grown used to it over the years, I’m no longer bothered by it. In fact, some time ago, I started to feel comforted by it. Someone cares enough to keep watch over me, no one ever cared about me except my best friend Elliot.
The problem is that once my stalker makes himself truly known, I’m not sure I can handle who he truly is, he leads me down a dark path of pleasure mixed with pain.
Raised all over the country, I'm an interesting mix of East Coast meets West Coast with a little bit of Southern thrown in, just for good measure. I married a sexy man in uniform who let me spawn and am now raising a mutinous army of hell raisers that I created myself, all while he defends our country. I drink too much coffee until it's late enough to drink too much wine and am sexually frustrated for your freedom.
I never thought I would be a writer, it was never an interest of mine. But when the voices start in and won't let you sleep, you write so they STFU and leave you alone for a while.
If you see me online, I'm probably sitting in a closet, hiding from my kids. I'm sarcastic, love a dirty alpha male, and love to laugh.
