An OK story about a woman who survives an assault by her cousins boyfriend only to find herself the object of a stalkers attention. The story had a lot of promise but I had a hard time connecting with the characters. It wasnt hard to figure out that Gordon was the stalker, but after he was declared dead early on in the story kept me trying to figure out how he was stalking her while keeping his identity a secret.

Most of the story revolves around Taylor living in fear. Fear over Gordons assault, fear of his promise to come back and finish what he started, fear over the emails and the new stalker, fear over meeting Gordons identical twin brother. The majority of this story is predictable, but what interested me is finding out about Gordons background and why he became the person he did. Though I didnt feel a connection to them, I liked Taylor and Reed. I just never felt their reactions and responses came to life.

Overall, this book had a lot of potential but never seemed to get off the ground.
