A little fast moving in the sense that there is no build up between the main characters but an overall good thriller. I plan on going back and getting other books by this author.

Absolutely loved this book. A total page turner. I loved the characters of Ben and Jacob and little Grace is adorable. Loved the fact that it was told from different perspectives. The book reminded so much of Karen Rose's style of writing and to me that is a winner there. I will certainly be reading the next few books in this series. Plus it is set in Sunderland home of my footie team!!!

Thanks to Netgalley for my copy.
This is a clever tale of two sadistic killers. Both stories are realistic and brutal.
Ben is developing her career as a Crime Scene Investigator whilst raising her young daughter. Jacob is ex forces who lectures in Digital Forensics. Both are physically and psychologically damaged for different reasons.
I enjoyed reading a crime thriller from a different perspective rather than from the investigating detectives and look forward to the next instalment.

I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning, but ended up enjoying it overall. I'm not sure what it was, I read books that take place in the UK quite a bit but this one had a lot of wording that stopped the flow for me. In the beginning, I was only reading a few pages before bed, so that might have been it. Some of the characters were confusing at first, but again, could have been due to how I was reading it. About half way through, I was able to read several chapters and the book started coming together better for me. I try not to predict mystery type books, but this was also easy to figure out who the killer was.
I did enjoy the characters a lot though and overall, I did like the story. I would continue reading the series to see if I enjoy it a bit more. I'd recommend giving it a try and see what you think.
I'd give this 3.5 stars out of 5, so bumped up to 4.

Great suspense with a plot that pulled me in immediately. I've Been Watching You is very well written, I could not put it down. I look forward to the next book in this series. I will be looking for more books by this author.

4.5- This is a book that will keep the reading on the edge of their seat as they flip through the pages and discover one surprise twist after another. I really didn't know what to expect as I read this book and that was so enjoyable. Thank you for allowing me to read this and write about it. Thank you NetGalley and KA Richardson.

My first read of this author was satisfying. IT might have been gory, but the story of the "good guys" helping each other was nice.
