A stalker who begins reenacting violent events from Zoe’s book, step by step, against her...

I listened to this book and it very fast paced with A LOT going on but it just didn't work for me.. I understand the underlying message of deviance of Hollywood, but it was just so chaotic throughout. I just didn't feel trying connected to the protagonist. it want bad just not my favorite.

just okay

Not a thriller. Very slow going. It took all I could do to get through this book. Narrator was great. Story was dull and predictable.

After reading the reviews I expected the plot to be better. The ‘bad’ guys were revealed at the end, but the story for me was just ‘meh’.

Drawn out
