An adrenaline-pumping suspense novel from the author of BEYOND FEAR. What if a stranger is watching you sleep - and no one believes you?
Carly Townsend is starting over after a decade of tragedy and pain. In a new town and a new apartment she's determined to leave the memories and failures of her past behind.
However that dream is shattered in the dead of night when she is woken by the shadow of a man next to her bed, silently watching her. And it happens week after week.Yet there is no way an intruder could have entered the apartment. It's on the fourth floor, the doors are locked and there is no evidence that anyone has been inside.
With the police doubting her story, and her psychologist suggesting it's all just a dream, Carly is on her own. And being alone isn't so appealing when you're scared to go to sleep .
My Take:
Australian author Jaye Ford certainly knows how to write a good thriller.
Carly Townsend moves across the country to Newcastle, NSW, to start a new life. For the last decade she has been living with the fact that she killed her three best friends. Her new apartment is on the 4th floor of a renovated warehouse. All modern. But the first thing she learns is that there is a sad story about the girl who used to own her apartment.
Carly herself is pretty fragile, the result of two failed marriages, three miscarriages, and the death of her three friends. She thinks she has lost the outgoing personailty she once had, and wonders if she can find it again.
She begins a business course at a local TAFE and is lucky to be befriended by twenty year old with big ideas. Carly hasn't slept well for years but then she is woken in the early morning by a hooded man. She reports the home invasion to the police but by the third time they have had enough of her wasting their time.
Jaye Ford ceratinly knows which of our "fear" buttons to press.
My rating: 4.6
