The description for this book didn't do it justice. This book is uber creepy and weird but that isn't why I liked it. It was like a mom friend talking to you and telling you stories and giving background information as you develop and deepen your friendship.
Honor was one of the best representations of autism I have seen in a book. Maribelle never sees her baby as a burden either. She is never overwhelmed by parenting her and she works through her few frustrations the way we all should.
I don't want to spoil the story by revealing anything else.
Just read this one. It is fantastic.

"Marker Man" starts stalking actress Meribel Mills via mail, sending her graphic, horrific hand-drawn pictures and quickly escalates to breaking into her home causing Meribel to move her and her daughter, Honor, across the country. But, Meribel still feels unsafe and when the pictures start arriving in the mail again from locations closer and closer to her new home, she knows that she's still not safe! Who is Marker Man? Is it her most recent boyfriend, her ex-husband, her new neighbor or a complete stranger? Soon Marker Man is close enough to again leave items outside her door! Will Meribel be able to keep herself and her daughter safe?

I would categorize With My Little Eye as around 75% romance with 25% suspense. Most of the book focuses on Meribel's love interest and Honor's Autism diagnosis. And, the amount of detail is too much! Every paragraph is wordy and overly descriptive with many details repeated throughout the book! It would have been more enjoyable to have been about 100 pages shorter. Those reasons led to my low rating as romance is probably my least favorite genre so others will likely enjoy it more than I did.

Thank you Netgalley and William Morrow for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was really excited to read this book since I have only heard great things about Joshilyn Jackson books. However, while I usually really enjoy thriller/suspense books, but this one was not one of my favorites. It had a great start and seemed to be going in a good direction. Then somewhere along the way I got bored. The characters fell flat to me, the storyline seemed to drag on, the ending was underwhelming. I just wasn't a fan of this one. However, I am glad I read it and was able to read a new to me author. Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for a digital arc of this title.

Meribel Mills is an actress who has been receiving letters from a stalker, and things have escalated. She flees from LA to Atlanta with her adopted daughter Honor, in hopes of losing her stalker’s interest. This book has multiple POV’s and multiple storylines that present themselves somewhat randomly. It felt like suddenly things were being thrown in just to create some more substance for the book. It kept my interest, but the ending was very abrupt and gave no closure. It left the reader with more questions than anything… and not in a good way. My favorite thing about books is trying to connect the dots before things are revealed to us… This wasn’t possible for any of the reveals in this book. Things were very random and seemed to be pulled out of nowhere. It just fell flat for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Joshilyn Jackson is one of our favorite authors, and she once again returns to the thriller genre with this new novel. It's a truly frightening tale of actress and mother Meribel Mills who has a stalker she refers to as the Marker Man. She moves from L.A. to Atlanta in an effort to escape him, only to suspect that he followed her across country.

I loved the portrayal of Meribel and her daughter, and her unlikely relationship with the other teenagers. My major hangup was the portrayal of Cooper. The threat of the stalker was frightening enough, but the menacing neighbor who preys on teenagers took it over the top for me.

I am always excited about Joshilyn Jackson's work, and this one was no different. I really enjoyed this story. The summary and the cover made me very interested in this book. Luckily, it lived up to the expectations. Overall I thought this book was suspenseful, interesting and creative. I found myself on the edge of my seat while going through it, and was fascinated to know what was going to happen next. The writing was wonderful, the pacing was great and overall was such a great story.

A decent thriller with a very good character development and great plot. I really enjoyed the lead's perspective, her on-the-spectrum daughter and the author's portrayal of autism. The premise of someone stalking a relatively known, but not too-well-known actress seemed believable. The ending was a bit rushed and a bit too convenient, but I enjoyed the ride along the way.

This book just didn’t do it for me. I didn’t find any of it to be believable, and the plot and characters were dull. I’m normally a big fan of Joshilyn Jacksons books, but this one was not a winner for me,

Full of twists and turns. I liked the plot. I liked the characters. A little underwhelming at the end though.

Actress Meribal Mills has a stalker. In an effort not to scare her daughter, she calls him “Marker Man”, since the notes he sends are written in scented markers. When the letter become more disturbing, filled with drawings of Meribel and she suspects Marker Man has been in her apartment, she takes her daughter and moves to Atlanta. At first, it’s the fresh start she was hoping for, but then she develops the sense that she’s being watched again. When the scented letters appear again on her new doorstep, no one is safe from being a suspect. But who could it be? Her new neighbor (and only friend in Atlanta)? The boyfriend she left back in Los Angelos, who suddenly appears in town? One is for certain - Meribel will stop at nothing to protect her daughter from whoever this monster is.

I haven’t read many thrillers with a stalker in them, but I enjoyed the concept. I have to say, I was as clueless as Meribel as to who the creepy person was. I enjoyed the different plot lines of the people around her and trying to figure out if they were as honest as they were appearing to be. Also, I really liked the side story of Meribel’s daughter Honor and her friends. Honor is autistic and getting to see her perspective - including in depth descriptions of how she felt when she was overwhelmed etc - were very eye opening. Honor was by far my favorite character. Without giving any spoilers, I will say I thought the ending was a little bit of a let down. But I still really enjoyed the read.

Thank you to Netgalley, Joshlynn Jackson, and William Morrow for the ARC! “With my Little Eye” released April 25th!

As a big fan of Joshilyn Jackson's other books I was really looking forward to "With My Little Eye" however I found this to be a difficult book to stick with. It draws you in very quickly allowing you to get to know the characters well and setting the scene of the stalker/over-fan well. However the next 3/4s of the book really dragged along for me with pretty boring and silly drama. Then all of the sudden the big ending came out of nowhere and picked up the pace of the book to lightning speed. It felt rushed and a little unsatisfying. Overall it breaks my heart to say I did not enjoy this book. The premise it great but the execution of the story did play out well.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read the book in advance of publication.

I buddy read this one with some friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Meribel’s daughter, Honor, is my favorite character! Honor is on the spectrum and the way Joshilyn described her thought processes and feelings was so eye opening! Most of the characters have their own long-buried secrets so it’s difficult to determine who the stalker is until you KNOW. I enjoyed the twists and turns and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of Joshilyn’s backlist!

Okay, lame as it is, as someone from Atlanta, I really like books set here. That's an automatic plus... this book was SO incredibly good, and I didn't see the actual Marker Man coming for miles. I really believed it was Cooper or Cam, and wasn't TOO surprised about the darkness in others. I felt there were times that the book could have gone sideways and gotten slow or boring, yet the author deftly avoided that. This is yet another hit.

A great mystery with an absolutely crazy twist that you do not see coming. I was a little sad when Joshilyn Jackson switched genres but her last couple mysteries have made me a beliver

This book was just okay. It didn’t wow me in any way and there was several POVs that I found boring and excessively long. I was disappointed after Never Have I Ever, which I loved.

I love Joshilyn Jackson's writing and this fast paced book was difficult to put down. With that said, it did stretch credibility more than her previous novels and made it slightly less enjoyable. The main character was more concerned with processed food than an actual stalker, and the characters felt less developed than in her previous work. The ending also felt rushed and abrupt. Overall not my favorite of her works.

I will leave a review on Amazon and B&N on April 25th

With My Little Eye is a suspense thriller by Joshilyn Jackson, this book had so many different twists and turns. I was wrong many times in my thinking about how the plotline was going. I found this to be a very good read, but not what I would classify as a great one. I would recommend it to others, especially if you enjoy thrillers.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and William Morrow Publishers, and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

This is the second book I’ve read by this author and I can safely say the first one wasn’t a fluke. I LIKE this author. And this book kept me on my toes. I kept going back and forth between who I thought the stalker was and was definitely surprised at the reveal. I think I would’ve liked a little more action at the end, but overall this was a solid 4 stars for me. I’m looking forward to reading more by her.

Whew, what a thrilling read that has so many twists and turns. This is the story about a mom and daughter with special needs, who move to Atlanta to get away from a stalker. The stalker continues to threaten the mother, Maribel, by sending her strange letters which are rather disturbing. The stalker, Marker Man, unfortunately appears to follow Maribel from LA to GA. Maribel has several men in mind who she thinks could be threatening her. The great part of this book is that it keeps you guessing until the end. Some parts of the book were very gory but it was worth it to complete the book due to the suspenseful story line. Thanks NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.

🚨Stalker Alert🚨
I was sucked immediately sucked in and couldn’t put it down. Meribel an aging B-List actor and single mother is being stalked by Marker Man👁🔎 but then we have another plot twist as well. I absolutely loved how the two plots intertwined towards the end. Only downfall was that I wanted an epilogue or a final chapter wrapping it all up. I felt the ending to abrupt and almost felt it like a cliffhanger and only because I got so invested in the characters. I wanted to know why Marker Man did what he did. I want to know more about the ending with Cam, Meribel, and Honor. I even wanted some closure on Sheila and Addie. And let’s not forget Maxene 😳 Honor was my favorite character by far, and I can tell Jackson put a lot of research and thought into her part. I’ve never read any of Jackson’s novels, but I’ll definitely look out for her books since I really enjoyed her uniqueness 👀🔎 Never figured out who was the creeper but was right about something being off with Copper since the get go.
