My first impression was how paranoid and stressful the MC is, I'm sorry but it was just too much at the beginning. And also really judgemental. Other thing it bothered me a lot about her was the way she seems to be too thankful for her boyfriend, and that for me is super annoying; how she is like he doesn't like me reading this so I hide reading it and I don't buy more 😮‍💨 wtf?! And I won't tell him this because it will upset him. I don't like when any gender is "too grateful" for having someone 😬 too cringe 😬 Imagine not being able to watch whatever you want unless you're alone in fear of being criticized eww. But hey the MC is also a true crime fan and I loved that haha even if her "adorable" boyfriend who is a piece of sh... doesn't like her watching/reading it hahahaa. And I don't like that this behavior is presented like a normal thing in "the perfect boyfriend"!!!! That's not okay.

TW!!!!! If you hate gaslight as much as I do. Stay away from this book. This is a huge example of gaslighting and damn.

Now, the plot was good and super intriguing but I kind of guessed it not fully, but when a character starts to drop clues here and there it's easy to know where everything's going. I'd appreciate that twist not to be so obvious, and the entire plot to be a bit more believable but the book is well written I enjoyed it and I was intrigued until the twist happened. The author tried to mix some stories to make the reader doubt and I feel I have read too many thrillers to fall for that so easily, but it was still good thw entire idea of doubting. The end wasn't for me but I'll admit that if you like light thrillers with drama in them then this one will totally be for you. I know many who avoid thrillers with blood, explicit murders, sex and other kinds of explicit violence and this one doesn't have any of that so it will be great for those who want a light intriguing thriller with a plot that is easy to read and feel involved.

Thank you Amazon Publishing UK and the author for the copy of the book !!!!

Becky and Alex have the perfect life but now someone is gaslighting her. Is it Max, their new neighbor? Becky's past come back to haunt her in this thriller that feels very predictable (I almost put it down) until the twist that changes things up. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. A good read.

This was an interesting and quick read.

Becky and Alex are living a quiet, happy life in suburbia, with Becky working as an estate agent and Alex a personal trainer. Things are going swimmingly until a new neighbor moves in. He says his name is Max and he’s always staring and blaring loud music. Alex doesn’t see the big deal but Becky does.

Suddenly, you know the old saying, what can go wrong will go wrong for Becky. Her tires are slashed and work is going downhill from various bits of bad luck. Becky suspects Max but Alex and everyone else think she’s losing it.

Becky has a reason for protecting this life she’s built so fiercely. She didn’t grow up with the love and privilege that most kids do. She was in foster care since age 5 and pretends her memories start there but she remembers everything.. is someone from her past coming back to haunt her?

I enjoyed this and it was an easy read but I do kinda hate the “no one believes her, she’s suddenly CRAZY!” trope. I know it’s necessary in books sometimes but it always stresses me out. I’m sure that’s the point. It had an interesting if not very believable twist and an even more bizarre ending. I did stay consistently interested the whole time.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review!

SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Man, I don't know.

This book was so much fun and anxiety inducing and anger inducing, it was lucky I was waiting for over an hour and needed something to read; otherwise I might have stopped reading the first time my heartrate increased.

Nothing truly sinister happens until, maybe the last third of the book. But the author brilliantly weav mundane everyday events with an unsettling atmosphere.

It had tropes I don't like, but I'm resigned to that happening at this point; and the reveal at the end was pretty gnarly, I felt secondhand trauma for a fictional character - seriously, I just wanted to jump in there and hug one of the characters - but I raced through it to the end.

The epilogue was really nice and tied things up nicely - there was one thread I was expecting to play more of a part - and if there is ever a sequel, I'd love to see what else happens to these characters.

I devoured this book. I couldn’t put it down even though Becky annoyed me. I had to know how it ended and if someone was truly after Becky or if it was all in her head. This was a gripping thriller and shows how past trauma can affect your every day life.

The Perfect Life..?
Becky’s life seems just perfect. But, is it? She really used to think it was but things are about to take a downward spiral when Becky becomes absolutely convinced that someone, somewhere is out to get her. Is she being stalked? Is she in danger? Or is it all a figment of her imagination and an episode of intense paranoia.
Pacy, edgy psychological suspense with a well crafted cast, twists aplenty and an immersive storyline.

Compulsively readable, it kept me turning the pages. But as an avid thriller reader, the novel didn't offer many surprises. The plot points were expected, without any subversions or twists; and character behaviours outside the protagonist were unbelievable. It was a quick, easy read, but not a knockout.
Many thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this one.

I really loved this book! The kind of book that sucks you in from the very first page.. I couldn't read it fast enough, and didn't want to put it down. It was everything a psychological thriller should be. If you're looking for a fast paced, suspenseful story with a twist you never saw coming, then this is the one for you!

This was a great book. I loved every paragraph, every sentence and every word of this masterpiece! I read it in 12 hours, which is a lot for me to do! It had everything and more laid out in the novel! I sure hope she writes more! I am totally hooked!

Being stalked is terrible, having one person follow all you do and try to infiltrate every aspect of your life….am guessing we are all familiar with this re previous books…however what happens when there could be more than one person stalking/out to get you for different reasons?and at the same time?
Becky wonders if she is going mad, is she being followed, set up, seeing things or just ‘in a state’, almost every day something new happens and everyone seems to be ‘after her’ be it work, home, neighbours or just random people in the street…..is this all a coincidence or are things much more sinister at play?
And for me that was the beauty of this book, I didn’t know and will be honest couldn’t work out if it was real or not, that was down to the good storylines and writing, when all things were revealed at the end it was, a surprise!
You could feel Becky unravelling and not knowing what to do next and I really felt for her and liked her as a character, maybe she made a couple of silly decisions, who doesn’t but all in all she was a character I sided with…unlike some of the other people you will meet in the book, will leave them for you to find out about…
A really good, makes u think psychological thriller that does far more than you will expect

9/10
5 Stars

This was a quick read with good action, though the characters mostly annoyed me. The story is told from Becky’s POV- she is living the good life in London in her dream house with her perfect boyfriend when a new neighbor named Max moves in next door. Max seems threatening but only Becky feels that way, and her boyfriend has befriended Max and is frustrated with Becky, even as more concerning things start to happen.

I didn’t have a lot of patience for Becky- a lot of the book was her internal narrative and I think she overreacted to some things while underreacting to others. I really didn’t like Alex, who made no effort to hear her out when she raised her concerns. I also found it odd that she had kept so much if her childhood from her boyfriend and their allegedly “perfect” relationship. That all being said, there was some good action in the book and some of the things that happened were pretty creepy. I didn’t love the end of the story- things were tied up just a little too cleanly to seem realistic to me.

Overall, decent read with some good action even though I didn’t really connect with the characters or the ending. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a super fast-paced thriller! Becky and Alex appear to be living a wonderful life when things start going wrong for Becky. Is she being stalked? Is she causing all of the strange things to happen? This was an exciting read!

I feel like the more thrillers I read, the harder it becomes for a thriller to really wow me, and unfortunately this one didnt quite hit the mark.

This book is narrated by Becky who has the perfect life; a nice house in the London suburbs, a gorgeous husband, Alex, and a good, well paid job. However when her new neighbour Max enters her life, things start to go wrong. Becky becomes suspicious of Max, but her husband Alex doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. No one believes Becky that Max is the cause of all her problems and instead, it’s as if people become suspicious of her and her motives...

Ok, so this was a page turner, it kept me on my toes and Zoe Rosi did a good job of creating tension. But, unfortunately it was nothing new, the twist didn’t shock me, I wasn’t shouting WTAF as I turned the page, and when the twist did come, I was confused instead of feeling completely betrayed because everything I thought I knew was wrong.

I think the build up and backstory needed more development so the twist landed better. But, I enjoyed the journey, even if the destination didn’t quite live up to expectations.

Overall, whilst it wasn’t a complete knockout, it was a good, easy and enjoyable story which didn’t take up too much brain power and would be the perfect palette cleanser after an intense read.

Thank you to Zoe Rosi, Amazon Publishing and Net Galley for the ARC.

Suspense, intrigue, gaslighting, all the makings of a great thriller. This book hooks you in and doesn't let you go until the last twist is over

This one was intriguing, a little slow in parts but I still enjoyed reading it.
Becky feels like someone is watching her and gets creepy vibes from the new neighbor. Her partner Alex thinks she’s imagining things.
The suspense keeps building while you try to figure out who is watching and why? She also keeps talking about her secret childhood which adds to the mystery. This is my first book by this author but I will check out more.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this one.

I was really interested in the premise for this but unfortunately, it fell a bit flat for me. It was very fast-paced and easy to read but I did not get on with the protagonist and narrator Becky, finding her annoying at times. We were constantly told that she was in fear of something, something was making her feel a sense of foreboding, but was told rather than shown.

Becky seems to have the perfect life, a good job, loving boyfriend and beautiful house. Everything is going splendidly, that is until the new next door neighbor moves in. From the beginning, Zoe gets a bad feeling from him. He says he works in the city, but why is he always there? Who are these mysterious women coming and going at odd hours? Her boyfriend and people around her think she is going crazy, while all of these strange and unexplainable things start happening, leaving her looking incompetent and a little crazy. Becky can't prove anything, but knows these things won't stop until she gets to the bottom of things.

A solid thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed! I finished this book in one sitting, easily getting caught up in the thriller aspect.

Thank You NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for giving me the opportunity to read and review Someone's Waching Me by Zoe Rosi.

I enjoyed it and even if I felt it was a little slow here and there it is an overall a great thriller.
Perfect when you want something psychological and twisted which Someone's Watching Me sure thing gives the reader.

I absolutely loved this! It's very "you" the TV series! It's not the most original plot pine, being stalked hy a weirdo but this puts a really unique spin on it to to mix it up a bit and keep it fresh. I flew through it in a day and couldn't out it down. I'd definitely recommend

What a great book, it keeps you on your toes all way through. Couldn't put it down. Super unexpected ending. Definitely recommend it to fans of physiological Thrillers.
