After posting a negative review of a horror novel, a woman staying at an isolated beach house begins to wonder if the author is a little touchy—or very, very dangerous—in this pulse-pounding novel of psychological suspense and terror from the critically acclaimed author of No Exit and Hairpin Bridge.
Emma Carpenter lives in isolation with her golden retriever Laika, house-sitting an old beachfront home on the rainy Washington coast. Her only human contact is her enigmatic old neighbor, Deek, and (via text) the house’s owner, Jules.
One day, she reads a poorly written—but gruesome—horror novel by the author H. G. Kane, and posts a one-star review that drags her into an online argument with none other than the author himself. Soon after, disturbing incidents start to occur at night. To Emma, this can’t just be a coincidence. It was strange enough for this author to bicker with her online about a lousy review; could he be stalking her, too?
As Emma digs into Kane’s life and work, she learns he has published sixteen other novels, all similarly sadistic tales of stalking and murder. But who is he? How did he find her? And what else is he capable of?
Displaying his trademark command of rapid-fire pacing, unnerving atmosphere, and razor-sharp characterization, Taylor Adams once again delivers a diabolically disturbing—and deadly—game of cat and mouse.

För lång och utdragen.

There are so many twists that just when you think you know what's going on, something else happens. It was really good, I got a little frustrated as it seemed to drag on at some points, but that's all part of the suspense and thrill!

En fängslande bok som hade mer än en oväntad vändning. Kändes som en originell premiss och som kanske extra tilltalar läsare som är engagerade i att interagera sina tankar och åsikter om de böcker de läser genom att förmedla de åsikterna. Boken behandlar flera tunga ämnen som psykisk ohälsa och sorg.Boken kändes välskriven, texten var väl bearbetad och redigerad med flera intressanta perspektiv som historien berättas från. Kort sagt, en riktigt bra thriller!

Många twister som gjorde att jag fick spola tillbaka ibland för att riktigt hänga med och fick mig att heja högt på Emma många gånger. Har aldrig läst något av den här författaren men ser fram emot att läsa varenda en om de är lika spännande som den här.

Första halvan är riktigt bra och spännande. Sedan blir den utdragen och man undrar lite om den aldrig ska ta slut. Därefter blir det action, men då kommer så många twists efter varandra att man blir less. Lite svår att betygsätta. Ligger ett tag på 4,5☆ för att senare sjunka till 2...

Full av twister som konstigt nog gjorde den mer förutsägbar och mest irriterande efter halva boken.
