Someone's Watching Me was full of mystery. The overall storyline was enticing as we find Becky's life falling apart after Max moves in next door. Afraid Max is the one scaring her, Becky turns to her boyfriend for help only to find he's become close friends with Max.
There are enough twists and turns in this book to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end!
Thank you Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the copy of Someone’s Watching Me. This would be a good book for someone looking for an easy read because this book was simply written. Becky was pretty clueless when things started happening to her and failed to take the most basic precautions for her own safety. I think I have had enough of supposedly happy couples who don’t communicate with each other, and spend so much effort to hide their past and/or their feelings. It certainly doesn't make them likable or sympathetic characters in a book. I would have liked to read more about Becky’s childhood and family life.
I was disappointed that the reveal had no build up at all so it felt like the ending and the ‘epilogue’ were just tacked on. This wasn’t a bad book, it just wasn’t really for me.
Fast paced...and i loved it, This is what you want from this Genre a book that keeps you on your toes right till the end of the book and that is what it does!
This was absolutely brilliant edge-of-my- seat stuff. I didn’t always find Becky the most likeable of characters but in an enjoyable way! I don’t want to spoil it - just go read it!
This book is incredibly creepy. There’s a sinister vibe that’s almost atmospheric. I absolutely enjoyed this component very much. Plus the fast moving plot kept me well engaged.
Someone’s watching me follows the story of Becky who seems to have her life figured out. She has a good job and she’s moved in with her boyfriend Alex. However, when a new neighbour moves in next door, who puts Becky on edge, and strange things keep occurring in her job, Becky’s life gets turned upside down. Even though Alex tells her she’s paranoid, Becky is sure her new neighbour is not who he says he is.
I will say that i did like the plot twist at the end, but the ending was still very rushed and underwhelming. Like it all got resolved pretty easily with no consequences. Also, i wished we would’ve seen Alex apologise for trusting a new guy he just met over her, and for calling her crazy. But still a good book and would definelty recommend!
A fast-paced thriller that will keep you turning the pages. I finished this book in one day, eager to find out what was really going on and whether Becky's suspicions were correct. The pacing was good, never becoming boring or dragging on for too long without any events, and the circumstances Becky found herself in were intriguing.
However, I wasn't a fan of the writing style; it left little to the imagination, making it overly easy for readers to predict how things would end and what was really going on. The character of Elizabeth in particular seemed to have no real place in the story and could easily have been removed without affecting the storyline or Becky's experience.
Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
What a fantastic five star read this is, a great story with good characters that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout, twists and turns galore, spooky, just plain brilliant with an exciting finish with everything brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
Well done Zoe Rosi I hope to read more from you in the future and thank you to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for this great ARC which I have no doubt in recommending.
This book has everything and more. It left me on the edge of my seat with my heart racing. It was twisty and kept me guessing right until the end. A great read.
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I raced through this book wondering Becky was being stalked or if she was going a bit mad.
All is well, Becky is living the dream life with her boyfriend of three years, holding down a good job and moved into the perfect house with hopes of starting a family until creepy new neighbour Max moves in next door.
Becky can't understand how Alex seems to be getting on okay with Max and not listening to her complaints about him.
The story is very fast paced
I enjoyed it and will look for other books by Zoe Rosi to read again.
I sat down on a quiet afternoon to read this highly anticipated book, I wasn’t let down, a real page turner and many twists. A fantastic debut, cant wait to read more in the future 🤩
This book is a powerful suspenseful read
Kept me on my toes
Didn’t want it to end
Page turner yo the very end
Excellent debut
Can’t wait for the next one
This book is highly recommended
Another one of those twisty turny psychological thrillers that has you looking behind you, as you feel you are being watched too!
Becky has it all.
A good job, a wonderful partner, Alex, and a roof over her head.
Perfect on paper.
But with the arrival of a new neighbour, Max, things start to disintigrate, from strange things happening at work, to clashes with her boyfriend, not to mention the fact that someone is definitely watching her.
You sit and read these books, and it's inevitable, isn't it, that you second guess at every page turn, convinced you have it figured out, then something happens to throw you off the scent, again.
I was so invested in the story that I did feel creeped out for a lot of the book.
I felt so sorry for Becky, as events unfolded, and without wanting to give too much away, the guilt she carried for so long was truly unfounded for the age she was when awful things happened.
Alex, her partner? Well, by the end of the story, I would have liked to give him a resounding slap, for his ignorance, and Max, the neighbour. He truly creeped me out.
Whilst I would have maybe liked a little more before the closure at the end, issues were tied up neatly in a satisfying ending.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for an ARC, in exchange for an honest review,
I read Someone's Watching Me by Zoe Rosi in one day with a few cups of coffee to settle my nerves. Great storyline, tense, and very well written. There are twists and turns as Becky goes about her life believing she is being watched. Is it danger or as her boyfriend Alex believes, Becky's imagination. Becky starts investigating who the 'watcher' is and why is the destruction of her work, life and social media happening. The story is gripping and has a surprising and dramatic ending. A novel well worthy of five stars.
Wow! This was definitely a page turner! I found myself hooked from the beginning of this book, and powered through it in one sitting to figure out the mystery. I found myself feeling like I was going crazy along with our main character as she tried to grapple with who was torturing her and what the deal with her new neighbor was. I will say that as much as I enjoyed this, there were some parts that I found a bit difficult. For one, I really didn't enjoy Alex and Wendy's treatment of Becky. With Alex, I understand that there wasn't much for Becky to go off of when she expressed her concerns with Max, but Alex's complete lack of sympathy when Becky was explaining herself was really frustrating. Same with Wendy. Becky continuously explained how there were issues that were beyond her control that were hindering her work, but Wendy just seemed like it was ALWAYS Becky's fault. Now I will say that the ending had me on the edge of my seat (despite Becky's use of the "culprit's" identifier OVER AND OVER AGAIN...we get it they're {REDACTED}), and I really enjoyed how it played out.
This is definitely a book that I would recommend for anyone interested in jumping into the mystery/thriller pool as a starter because of the twisty turnys.
Big thanks to Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for providing me with the electronic ARC in exchange for an honest review!
An eerie and dark read that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire way through. I really enjoyed every page of this thriller!
This was a good book! The writing and the plot really made me feel like I was in London with Becky. This is a psychological thriller where you don’t know if the main character is going crazy or not. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, I hoping for more was it was tied up very quickly.
I will definitely be looking out for more by this author.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
This was a good read. It had a good amount of suspense. Some nice twist and turns and I enjoyed reading it.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review
Someone’s watching me by Zoe Rosi is a new gripping psychological thriller with all the elements necessary to make it a hit executed brilliantly.
Becky is living the dream life with her boyfriend of three years, holding down a good job and having moved into the perfect house until the mysterious man named Max moves on next door. Soon Becky starts feeling threatened and like she is being watched all the time.
So what made the book a 5 star read for me was that I couldn’t guess the whole suspense at all until the end. Becky’s troubled past was indeed hinted on for most part of the book yet it was secretive enough to not be able to make any guesses.
Even though Max’s character was suspicious throughout the story, the mystery of why and how kept me engaged until the end. Something that annoyed me was how Alex just stopped listening to Becky altogether, dismissing her off all the time once he hit it off with Max but my understanding is that it was exactly how author had intended to put forth the character.
Thank you NetGalley, Amazon Publishing UK and Zoe Rosi for letting me read “Someone’s Watching Me” in exchange for an honest review.
“Is someone dangerous out to get her? Or is it all in her mind?”
Isn’t that what we always try to tell ourselves, that it is all in our head? Maybe we need to listen to that inner voice, that inner warning system. At least that is what Becky should have done. But as this is a psychological thriller, we can be certain that someone is out to get her! But what has sweet, innocent Becky done to make someone so upset with her?
Meet Becky and Alex. We have a beautiful couple living in the suburbs of London. Becky has a gorgeous husband a stable job and a beautiful home. All she is missing is a little one. I like that it is mentioned but not pushed as the main focus of the story.
Her perfect life gets disturbed when a new guy moves into the neighbourhood. She feels uncomfortable in the way he is staring at her for no reason. Then she gets trolled online, tyres get slashed...
The one person she thought she could rely on is not listening to her, Alex.
So, is the new neighbour Max dangerous or is it all in Becky’s head?! What about all the other strange things? Alex does not take her seriously, he even seems to take Max’s side. Alex seemed to perfect, which actually made him seem shady at times.
The writing is solid. I liked the fast pace. Things were happening all the time and the book did not drag on. You get a good insight into who Becky is and what is important to her. Her past could have been brought up a bit sooner, it would have helped the story. It felt squeezed in, at the very end.
I love myself a first person POV.
I read the book in pretty much one sitting. I try to focus on just reading and not forcefully trying to figure things out. It worked, the story swept me away.
So this is all fine. I was about to rate this a solid four stars. BUT… the ending. Are you kidding me? All is well and forgotten? I will change my review after publication, so I am not going to spoil anything. But for reals??? I really liked the book until the epilogue. First you fade the important “battle” out and then you throw that at me? No. I am sorry but I can’t!
