This has got to be one of my favourite shows. The gradual development of tension throughout the series keeps you wanting to see the next episode and there was never a boring moment. The story follows the main character Joe who is a stalker and takes a liking to a woman called Beck. Beck's character annoyed me and I don't understand why she had no curtains but, I think Joe's character was presented well and I liked that more was revealed about him as the series went on.

Oh dear. Now I get what Jana was saying when she told me that it was going to get worse before it got better.

Well another rollercoaster ride in this, but it's a necessary one for the two main characters to get closer and aww.

Then that ending. Denver Beck, you pain in the butt! It's a good job I know Riley Blackthorne will not give up on you no matter how much you push her away. Not after what happened in that graveyard...

I NEED FORETOLD ALREADY! HURRY UP POSTMAN!

This book is a great debut novel for Kepnes, I haven’t read a stalker book before and was intrigued, however in parts it felt a bit repetitive, I didn’t like any of the characters in the book and I was starting to get a little bored with the story. The book is written in such a way that it feels like Joe is actually talking about you….ha ha ha see what I did there!*hangs head* So it can be a very creepy book depending on how you read it.

Joe is a total psychopath! I didn’t like him at all, he stalks Beck to no-end, he has Facebook, twitter, email accounts and watching her every move. He is obsessed with Beck and is determined to be her boyfriend and nothing will get in his way.The thing that shocked me the most was that he didn’t believe he had issues and that he was actually protecting her from her friends and other men that looked her way.

Beck is so annoying I really didn’t like her, she was an attention seeking little cow-bag, she had her own issues but would flaunt around with no bra on and get dressed in front of her window that had no blinds or curtains. Flirt with pretty much anyone. And I know this is probably awful to say but she brought a lot of this on herself. She is such a user as well, she was stringing Joe along at times just for odd job duties and I was starting to feel sorry for him, but I had to remind myself that he was the one in the wrong and I shouldnt be feeling like this.

I felt the story went on a little too long and I was getting bored in places, it was sometimes just him constantly checking email updates and tweets to see if beck was thinking about him. It was a bit predictable as well, even though I haven’t read a stalker book I figured it out pretty early on.

This is a book that will make you step back and have a reality check, there could be someone stalking you but you just don’t know it. With all the social media and how easy it is for people to access the information is very scary.

This is an adult book and does contain explicit language and sexual scenes so it will not be for everyone or a younger audience.

Overall I rated this 3.5 stars out of 5.
