Watch For Me 

by Martin Bodenham

This book was a wild ride. 

Ali Page is a beautiful young lawyer looking for a house on a Vancouver Island and Tom Harper is the realtor helping her with her house hunting.

When Tom agreed to help Ali finding a house, he had no idea that she will become his worst nightmare. It took her some time to find the house she wanted .and after finding her dream house, Tom starts getting different messages from her claiming she is sad that she won’t be able to spend more time with him. Tom keeps receiving more strange texts from Ali to the point that it was putting his family life in danger. 

Ali is a woman who gets what she wants. Ali wants Tom and she is not going to stop. Going through the pages I knew Ali was going to destroy Tom’s life. What a woman!!!! and the author did a great job creating such an evil character.

This was a perfectly penned, dark psychological thriller with characters you will love and hate. The story is filled with deception and lies. I absolutely detested Ali and I even doubted Tom at times. 

Watch for me is a well-paced story with fully developed characters. A twisted psychological thriller that makes you want to turn the pages and know what happens next and the surprising ending made it even more exciting. 

I definitely recommend it to thriller fans.

Here is the Blurb:

Tom Harper, a Vancouver Island realtor, has the client from hell, Ali Page, a beautiful and intelligent young lawyer returning from the mainland to take up a job with an island law firm. Trouble is there’s always something wrong with the properties Tom shows her, always a reason not to commit. Finally, after they find a condo she likes, he receives a text thanking him for his help. Ali signs off: I’m sad we won’t get to spend more time together. Often cold and withdrawn throughout their weeks of searching, Ali’s words seem strangely out of character.


The texts keep coming, increasingly incoherent and disturbing. What does Ali mean by: we have a special connection, and why on earth would she say: I’ll be here for you when you leave your wife? Happily married, Tom cannot understand why a woman not much older than his teenage daughter is suddenly obsessed with him. When he rejects Ali’s unsolicited advances, Tom soon discovers the sinister depths to which a delusional mind will sink to obtain what it wants. Isolated and seemingly abandoned by the police and legal system, this is the story of one man’s struggle to rescue his marriage, his family, and his sanity in the face of overwhelming psychological and physical torment.

Many thanks to A Quintillion Read for having me on this tour.

The Girls From the Beach

 

The Girls From the Beach

 by Andie Newton

We’d heard stories about the nurses in tent seven. A secret mission, stolen money, and spies…’

In 1944, four American nurses disappeared for five days. No one knew what happened to them. Until now.

When Kit and Red set foot on French soil during the Normandy landings, they know they have to rely on each other. As they head for the battlefield, their aim is simple: save lives. But when they’re called away on a top-secret mission to patch up a few men behind enemy lines, everything changes.

Alongside fellow nurses, Roxy and Gail, they’re told to prepare for the worst, trading in their nurses’ fatigues for civilian clothes and hiding medical supplies under their skirts. But it’s a lie. Their real mission tasks them with the impossible – to infiltrate the Reich and steal something the Nazis desperately need to win their losing war.

In an ultimate test of courage and comradeship, each woman must decide what she is prepared to risk and what she has to live for.
