A KILLER IS ON THE LOOSE--AND HE’S DYING TO MEET YOU...
After the death of her husband four years ago, Hartley Watson is finally ready to meet someone--and maybe even have a second chance at love. But then, just as her dating life seems to be getting started, Hartley is struck with a horrifying realization: Someone is watching her. Entering her own home. Even knows the intimate details of her life. How else to explain the strange deliveries, or the sudden appearance of mementos from her dead spouse--ones that she had kept for so long in storage?
If only Hartley could know for sure whether what is happening to her is real or if her grief is making her lose touch with reality. Those around her aren’t convinced that she’s being stalked, nor is the wonderful, supportive man Hartley’s started dating. The exciting new life she has created for herself is slowly becoming a nightmare. . .How can Hartley seek protection when nobody believes that she’s at risk--and the only one in the world she can trust is herself?

🚫 After extensive research, investigative journalism, and an embarrassing amount of time staring at a search bar, I’ve discovered absolutely nothing interesting about the making of this book. 🤷♂️
REVIEW
⭐ ⭐ ☆ ☆ ☆
The twist that could’ve been. 🤦 SPOILER ALERT
This will be quick. I usually don’t bother reviewing books like this, but the missed opportunity here kept bothering me.
These books are barely a step above Harlequin romance, but I still enjoy them because they’re simple, fun, and obviously not meant to be taken seriously. That said, this one was next-level predictable. What makes it worse is there’s an unintentional setup for a twist that would’ve been way better.
The twist in the book: The guy she’s dating is the killer. You could see it coming from the very start.
The twist that could’ve been: Early on, the main character goes on a blind date with a guy who seems stuck on his ex. It would’ve been so much better if he actually was the killer and his ex was one of his previous victims.
