“T” asked for:
T: …stalker/love from afar when it works out. If there’s a list that covers this that I missed let me know!
Maryse: Oh I love the stalker/love from afar trope! I’ll see what we can come up with on both of your requests. 🙂

Book Review – Frayed by Layne Deemer
Frayed <— GAH!! I just read an amazing book that I was SO into from start to finish. This was a debut novel? GET. OUT. I can’t even believe it. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. R. Renee came to us screaming “YOU” vibes and boy was she right!!!! But it’s not at ALL the same story. I promise. Though that feel is JUST right.
AND what’s best of all? We BUDDY READ it!!! Group read of freak-outs & reactions!! LOL!
R. Renee: Guys!! This is Layne’s debut psych thriller. Some of you know her from the GR PFM challenge group. I started it this morning and I can’t put it down!! I went in blind so I have no idea what’s coming but at 16% it’s giving me serious YOU vibes!
Katie Blanchard’s “Love, Jane” is live and she’s sent over an excerpt & giving away a signed copy!
<— PSYCH-THRILLER PREQUEL ALERT!!! Remember how much I loved the marital strife psych thriller “Dear Anna“? Remember?? Here… let me refresh your memory with my Book Review. 😉 Well now… Love, Jane: A psychological thriller is the prequel (and this one sounds scarier – that awesome creepy kind of stalker-scary – than the first)!!!
And I’m thrilled that the author is today’s newsletter sponsor. To celebrate her release, she’s sent over an excerpt and she’s giving away a signed copy to a lucky commenter here!
Book Review – An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
<— Ahhhhhh TOTALLY MY THING!!! I just can’t get enough of these authors and I squeeeeeed and one-clicked it so hard when it went on sale. 😀 !!!! And while I still loved another one of their books more (The Wife Between Us – not related to this book at all), this one entertained my wicked psycho-stalker needs the whole way through.
Er…. I mean… wait!!! 😮 That came out wrong. 😉 I mean… not ME —>”wicked-stalker“. I just love a book where I get to be in an obsessed character’s head (and also, even more, when I get to also be in the victim’s head too). Sometimes there’s a surprise switch!
Book Review – Dear Anna by Katie Blanchard
Dear Anna: A creepy domestic thriller
Ohhhhh myyyyyy gooooodddnesssss!!! New-to-me author!! I only learned of this book when she sent me a review copy and sponsored one of our newsletters and of course with that cover, you know I was intrigued (my love of psych-thrillers knows no bounds). And I must now happily declare… I AM A FAN!!!!!
I knew right when I saw that cover (and got a serious blurb jolt) that this would be my next read, and I got exactly what I was hoping for. Strictly from the “wife’s POV”, and despite the creepy-stalker/revenge vibe of the story as a whole, this could very well be actually relatable on many levels (to a certain extent, of course 😉 ).
