Watch Out For Her by Samantha M. BaileyRead about another entry on the list.
A hypnotic, Hitchcockian take on voyeurism, obsession, and motherhood, I devoured this riveting psychological thriller. Sarah Goldman, mother to her young son Jacob, is hopeful that her family’s recent cross-country move will give them each a fresh start.Especially from Holly Monroe, the gorgeous twenty-something babysitter that had been hired by Sarah’s husband, Daniel, to watch after Jacob. But soon, Holly becomes overly-attached to the Goldman’s while Sarah, a relatable, anxious mother, begins to keep tabs on Holly, until her watchfulness tips over into true surveillance and she glimpses something that propels her to part ways with Holly. But once they are nestled into their new city, it’s clear that the past isn’t willing to let go of them so easily. With twist after pulse-pounding twist and cinematic prose, Bailey delivers a fresh, explosive examination of what it means to be both the watcher and to feel watched.
