There’s a new sheriff in town…
And he’s her worst nightmare.Reason #1: Ben Crawford is Olivia Knight’s long-time arch rival. They’ve been sworn enemies ever since she wore overalls to school one day, and he asked her in homeroom where she parked her cow. Now that he’s back, it doesn’t appear much has changed. He’s still arrogant. He’s still trouble. And this time, he’s got a badge and handcuffs. Which will make murdering him and disposing of his body much more challenging for her.
There’s a dead man in my apartment. Only me and my ex have a key. But neither of us would have done this. We have too much to lose...
First, I want to thank Miranda Smith, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
O.M.G! If you have not read any of Miranda Smith’s psychological thrillers what have you been waiting for?! Her latest The Family Home is my FAVORITE that I have ever read from her! Instantly Miranda grabs a hold of your attention in this insanely fast paced, wickedly twisted, insanely intense and with her jaw dropping revelations this is a 5 star must read book!! It is one you must add to the top of your TBR list!
My first thought while reading this prologue is that both the main character and I are going through the same aches and pains today. I could not help but give a little chuckle. However, as the prologue went on I too would be flipping out at what Lilian just saw!
One aspect of the book that I really respected was how close ex husband Matthew was to his ex wife Lillian. How they remained good friends for their adorable daughter Mabel. This is a rare finding this day in age to read in books (at least the ones I read). I do admit at times I wondered if they would get back together though.
Like Lilian I too wanted to know who Carl was! Why was he in her apartment? How did he get there?! Why did he use a fake name?!
As the story progressed there was so much drama, secrets, twists and wicked turns kept coming in full force. Many revelations were just mind blowing and jaw dropping. That ending I didn’t see coming! Infact, I thought I knew who as causing all of it but I was so off base!
New from the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Note.
As the crowds gather for charming and charismatic SebCooper’s funeral, three women sit in the congregation, mourning his loss.
First there is Clair, Seb’s wife and partner of twenty years, and mother of his two children. Furious at Seb for dying and leaving their children without a father, Clair isn’t sure of her place, and has been left baffled and bemused by the conflicting stories of Seb’s last days.
Then there’s Desiree, the woman Seb left Clair for. Heartbroken, self-conscious, and wondering if she made a mistake coming today.
Is someone dangerous out to get her? Or is it all in her mind?
Becky’s life is almost perfect. Growing up, she could never have imagined living in such a safe, beautiful home, with a boyfriend as loving and kind as Alex, and hopes for a little family of her own. But then stand-offish Max moves in next door, and things begin to fall apart.
First, someone starts trolling her social media. Then she finds her tyres slashed. By the time she discovers the dead bird, left waiting for her like a prize, she’s sure someone is after her. And having spied some strange goings-on beyond her kitchen window, she suspects that person is Max.
Frightened, Becky turns to Alex for help, but she’s surprised to find that he and Max have become firm friends—and that Alex is convinced it’s all in her mind. But when news of a missing young woman breaks, Becky knows she has to do something. She’s sure she’s seen this woman in Max’s home—hasn’t she?
With Alex concerned that she’s losing her grip on reality, does Becky dare keep digging, knowing her almost-perfect life could shatter into imperfect little pieces?

First, I want to thank Zoe Rosi, Thomas and Mercer and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
WOW!! Zoe Rosi sure knows how to freak out this girl in Someone’s Watching Me!! BOY OH BOY!! This book gives you all the feels and not in that pull on your heart strings kind of way! Oh there are characters in this book that not only freaked the main character out but me as well too!
Becky and I both shared a common interest and that is our love for all things true crime! Yes, like Becky I love all tv shows, movies and books centered around true crime! I could definitely tell why Alex thought it was an unhealthy obsession.
OMG Ryan freaked me out way more than Max did in this book and I didn’t care for either of them. Ryan seemed a little on the obsessive side to me and came off way too strong!! Max on the other hand there was just something way off about him that you couldn’t pinpoint why!
It seemed as if there was a theme in this book as Becky couldn’t seem to catch a break! So many unfortunate events kept happening for her to succeed. However, with each occurrence none of them seemed to be her fault.
Someone’s Watching Me definitely kept me on my toes as it was very fast paced and was insanely suspenseful! It is definitely a book you will want to add to your TBR pile!

My beautiful girl, you are my missing piece. You came into my life and changed everything, placing your warm little hand in mine, and looking up at me with your sky-blue eyes, so full of hope. Little did we know what lay ahead, but for a while at least, we had each other…
When I first met you, darling Marina, you were just five years old. You took my breath away, with your long, dark waves and pink cheeks. You needed me, and I instantly knew I’d do anything to protect you. When six years ago, my heart was shattered, I was left utterly broken – but I didn’t know just how lost I was until you filled that hole in my heart.
You quickly became the centre of my world, your sweet laugh my favourite sound. But then things started to change… I put my pain down to work stress, but when the diagnosis came through it was worse than I could ever have imagined.
