Follow Me by Kathleen Barber
I am so pumped for Follow Me by Kathleen Barber. Nothing gets me more creeped out than a good old stalking story. I’m for real.
Is there anything that is scarier than someone looking in on your personal space? Watching you from afar, collecting information about you, taking pictures, breaking into your house… Obsessions, delusions, lies, etc. BRB I’m off to take a cold shower.
No Sophmore Slump Here
I LOVED Kathleen’s debut so I had super high hopes for Follow Me. Let’s just say I’m a happy camper. Once again, Kathleen delivers thrilling goods. Follow Me is intense, captivating, creepy & a total binge-worthy read. I’m over the moon about that!
THE VERDICT
Basically, if you like creepy thrillers, this is right up your alley. Kathleen does a great job building up the suspense in a realistic & voyeuristic manner. Her author’s note at the beginning really sets the stage for a reality driven & modern suspense novel. It made me rethink the way I do my social media. If you haven’t read Are You Sleeping, what are you waiting for? It’s one of my favorite suspense novels of all time. Such a great read!
