WITH MY LITTLE EYE - JOSHILYN JACKSON

3.5⭐

PLOT - Meribel Mills moved with her daughter across country to get away from a creepy dangerous stalker. As she just settles in Meribel finds a constant feeling of being watched could it be the Marker Man..her obsessed stalker or her ex husband or her new neighbour with whom she became friendly on moving. But how will she keep herself safe if she doesn't know the identity of the monster threatening her life .

MY THOUGHTS
First up the book was too slow for me esp when the title suggests appears as a thriller there was way too much description and only thrill aspect happened in the last 1/3rd.
I had guessed the culprit but the other part not so hence I did enjoy the end.
For me Meribels daughter Honor who was under autistic spectrum was the highlight for me and actually the star of the book .
Thank you Netgalley and publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Truncated synopsis: Meribel persevered through a traumatic past by moving across the country to LA, where she began an acting career, adopted a daughter, made best friends and eventually met a great guy. She was living the dream. Unfortunately, she's getting older, roles are harder to find, and she has a stalker whose behavior is escalating.

Meribel decides to accept an acting job back in her hometown to get away from the stalker and keep her and her daughter safe. But what happens when the threatening letters start up again with postmarks moving towards her?

What I enjoyed: Meribel. She was likeable as a person and definitely as a parent. She had little traditions and arrangements that gave depth to her relationship with her daughter. She was scared of/ angry at the stalker and took measures to keep her and her daughter safe, but she also had a sense of humor which kept the stalking business from getting monotonous.

Bonus points because I couldn't figure out who the stalker was!

The cops were frustrating because they wouldn't take her situation seriously even though it clearly merited an investigation. This sadly mirrors real life all too well.

There was a slight lull especially when attempts were made at casting suspicion on a highly unlikely character. That being said, overall, I found this book to be quite enjoyable and I recommend reading it!

This book was so good! It had me guessing who the Marker Man was the entire time. I loved Honor! She is probably one of my favorite characters! This book was gripping and creepy with all the stalker situations with the Marker Man. Also did not expect Cooper to be so evil too. This was definitely a crazy ride. Thank you William Morrow for the advanced copy!

I've seen great reviews of Joshilyn Jackson's previous novels so had to see what all the buzz is about for myself.

Meribel's Miles is an actress, single mom and she has an obsessive stalker. She's already moved across the country to get away but the letters from the Marker Man continue.

I thought Meribel's character was excellent, and a bit different. She's approaching forty, and while still working she'll always be recognised for her teenage starring role. There are some good reflections on what it's like for an aging actress.

I like a stalker thriller, this was quite a good one. Honestly, it's a little bit mild for my tastes, I like more a little more threat and tension, but it flows nicely and kept me entertained.


Thanks to Netgalley and William Morrow

Immaculate creepy stalker vibes. I read Mother May I by this author and fell in love with her suspenseful writing style. Joshilyn has a way of keeping you at the very edge of your seat through the entire story.

Red herrings and twists throughout the story kept me engaged and guessing until the very end. I guessed multiple possible endings as I was reading the story but was happy to discover that I didn't guess all the parts. I'll definitely be looking for this to add to my shelves!

With My Little Eye by Joshilyn Jackson is a thrilling and suspenseful novel that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The story follows the protagonist, Opal, as she tries to unravel the mysterious disappearance of her childhood friend and neighbor, years after the event.

What I loved most about this book was the way it kept me guessing throughout. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, the author would throw in a twist that completely changed the direction of the story. The pacing was spot-on, with just the right balance of tension and release.

The characters in the book were also very well-drawn and complex, particularly Opal herself. I found myself really invested in her journey, as she grappled with her own demons and tried to uncover the truth about her friend's disappearance.

Overall, I would highly recommend With My Little Eye to anyone who loves a good mystery or suspense novel. It's a well-written, engaging read that will keep you guessing until the very end.

the suspense and the twist are sweet in this one! I couldn't get enough and I never knew what was going to happen next. I loved it!

3 stars
The premise of an actress having a stalker, making the need to change her life and move across the country only to still be stalked was intriguing. The plus was the daughter and her relationship with many characters and her autism. The negative was there were too many POVs, lots of red herrings, and a slow start.

The book did pick up towards the end with twists that weren't seen coming.

I always find Joshilyn Jackson's books disturbing but in a good way. You never know what you get in the end in one of her thrillers and that is why i keep coming back to read her new books. This one was no exception.

Meribel enjoys being a semi-famous TV actress, even with some of the drawbacks. But when a “fan” starts becoming more and more threatening, it becomes way more serious than just a “drawback.” Even when Meribel moves her and her pre-teen daughter from LA to Atlanta to get away, this super-fan (aka stalker) manages to find and follow her. I absolutely love Joshilyn Jackson’s books, and this was no exception. I’ll admit, there were enough twists in this book to make me think I was missing some stuff, but it all ironed out in the end. My favorite book of hers? No… Still recommend? Definitely!


Special Note: Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book just wasn’t there for me. I really liked the characters but the storyline and the ending just didn’t seem put together enough for me. I had a hard time reading during certain points. I appreciate the author sending me the book to review though 🙂

This book was fantastic it had me glued to the story from the start and by the time I got into the middle I could not turn the pages fast enough! It was full of twists and turns that kept me at the edge of my seat and constantly had me guessing and then re-guessing who dun it?! I love the daughter Honor loved her Character ❤ I highly recommend this book to all thriller fans!

Much thanks to #netgalley and #williammorrow for allowing me to read and review this ARC

Thanks to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book. The first half of the book was kind of slow for me, but it does get better. An actress has a stalker that keeps sending her letters that make her fear for her and her daughters life. So, they move cross the country to hopefully get away. Will the stalker be able to find them or will they finally be safe.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

This had an interesting premise, actress with a stalker dubbed "the Marker Man" moves to get away...While there was some mystery and suspense there was too much other stuff going on and I wasn't wowed by the execution of the story. First, I didn't love the main character, Meribel. She leaves her boyfriend to avoid the stalker. She moves back to where her ex-husband lives (with his wife and several children!) and basically stalks them online and in person! Then she strikes up a friendship (maybe wanting more?!) with the neighbor. All of the men in her life become suspects. Ugh! The only part I really enjoyed was the daughter, Honor, who is autistic and the friends she makes along the way.

The writing wasn't bad, I just wasn't that invested in who the stalker was and the outcome. I did appreciate the twist in the storyline.

2.5 stars thanks go Netgalley and William Morrow or Custom House. I was really looking forward to this book especially since I loved Never Have I Ever so much but this story just feel short for me. I could not get behind the FMC she came off as selfish and I dont think that was the vibe she was going for. I felt like the story was good but then it just fell flat idk the characters were not that developed and the ending was like someone walking away in the middle of a conversation because they said what they wanted to say.

Riveting and suspenseful! There is more going on than meets the eye, so prepared to be surprised when the villains are revealed. With My Little Eye has a unique take on the stalker sub-genre of thrillers, which I found fresh and engaging. Other reviews pointed out the number of characters and POVs, saying there were too many, but I appreciated how all of those voices came together.

I really enjoyed this book. There were a few red herrings that threw me off and there may have been a storyline or two that didn’t need to be there, but overall, I thought it was a great book. I liked seeing the story unfold from lots of different points of view. I really liked Honor and her bluntness. She had some great moments!

This is the second book I have read from this author and once again I found it just to be an average read. I loved the representation of the spectrum through the character, Honor, but I found the other characters to be lackluster. I also thought the ending was too abrupt.
