Ever read a book and think “why did I read that?” or “why didn’t I dnf?” or “that was the worst book I have ever read!”? Have you? I know I have. Ever write a 1-star review? Ever leave a negative review? Have you ever had an author reach out to you after leaving said review?
Emma Carpenter is housesitting with her golden retriever when a nearby neighbor recommended a book to her. Emma has been reading a lot and ordered the book from Amazon. Let’s just say, she did not care for the book at all. In fact, she felt so strongly about the book that she wrote a negative review. The author asked her to take the review down, she refused, and they bickered back and forth about said review.
Emma thinks it is over, but now strange things are happening where she is staying. She feels as if someone is watching her, could it be her imagination or has the author found her and is seeking revenge?
I had a lot of fun with this book and enjoyed reading her golden retriever, Laika’s thoughts! This was an engaging whodunit/mystery of sorts which kept me on my toes. There are quite a few twists and turns along the way. Just when I thought I had things figured out, Adams added more to the plot.
Entertaining, suspenseful, tense, and well written.
