“They’re more tied up than we think, love and hate—both emotions are a confession that someone matters to us, that they have power over how we feel.”

From the very first page, I was so hooked! This is a very well-written thriller with sharp pacing and a gripping plot. The emotional depth made the story even more compelling for me. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, and it definitely won’t be the last!

I just finished a great mystery thriller. Stay Away From Him by Andrew DeYoung needs to be on your tbr list.

AFter a horrible break up Melissa is ecstatic to meet a handsome, friendly doctor in Thomas. Thomas is raising two teenage daughters after the tragic disappearance and murder of his wife. Thomas is dashing, charming and great with Melissa's young 5 year old son.

Soon after they begin dating strange things begin to happen, Melissa receives notes saying "Stay away from him,",, people that believe Thomas killed his wife treat her horribly and a friend of Thomas deceased wife shows up everywhere trying to warn Melissa.

As their romance moves faster and faster Melissa is caught in a whirlwind of mystery and deceit. Who should she run to, who should she run from? It's a fast paced book but the ending is both satisfying and depressing.

A cannot put down novel...red herrings and secrets...a page turner...the title is intriguing; the story is mysterious. Enjoy. Thanks Netgalley.
