Description
"I thought I’d knocked him out, but in a flash he’d turned on to all fours and was crawling swiftly, spider-like, back towards us. He still held the knife, so I set fire to the handle. The wood flamed and he hissed in pain but didn’t let go. It was all turning rather awkward.”
With the swinging sixties staggering, shamefaced and flustered, into the slightly staider seventies, life for Stella, isn’t going as smoothly as she’d like. As an ordinary person, who happens to have some extraordinary abilities, it's frustrating to find that something as simple as holding down a job, throws up unexpected hurdles.
She'd be a darn sight better off if she could ditch the conviction she knows best which, together with a chronic inability to keep her mouth shut and her nose out of other people's business, has led her more than once off the straight and narrow into the dodgy and dangerous. Plans for a safer future, include setting herself up in business, squashing her over-active conscience and steering clear of risky and unpleasant.
Unfortunately, the best laid plans can lead to the darkest places.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
Despite most reviewers suggesting it was necessary to read the first in the series, and I hadn't, I thoroughly enjoyed this book without feeling I was missing anything and also liked that it was set in the 1970's.
I loved Stella's 'voice', she is hugely likeable, as are most of the other characters, and the explanation of her special talents is fascinating. The first half of the story is fun and interesting, what with the Stella's foray into her many secretarial jobs and finally starting her own business. Then the tension is slowly ratcheted up till the creep factor is off the scale! I won't go into detail, no spoilers here, but I guarantee not one reader will be able to put the book down, it's that good. Add a bit of romance and another round of terror and you will be panting for the third in this series...I know I for one can't wait what's next in Stella's life, which I assume wil be set in the 1980's.

Relatively Strange by Marilyn Messik is the second book in the Strange series and I really enjoyed both books. So when Marilyn's next book became available to read I had to request it and I was not disappointed, It was brilliant! The characters in both books were just excellent and all fitted in well within both books. Stranger is the sequel to Relatively Strange and I found it a better read that the first book.
Within this book Stella continues into adulthood and what I loved about it, it could be read as a stand alone as well. Not many authors can do that.
I highly recommend this book and Marilyn's first book Strange.
Big thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for allowing me a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
