Always Watching: A Novel | Chevy Stevens
17 posts | 26 read | 12 to read
She helps people put their demons to rest. But she has a few of her own... In the lockdown ward of a psychiatric hospital, Dr. Nadine Lavoie is in her element. She has the tools to help people, and she has the desire--healing broken families is what she lives for. But Nadine doesn't want to look too closely at her own past because there are whole chunks of her life that are black holes. It takes all her willpower to tamp down her recurrent claustrophobia, and her daughter, Lisa, is a runaway who has been on the streets for seven years. When a distraught woman, Heather Simeon, is brought into the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit after a suicide attempt, Nadine gently coaxes her story out of her--and learns of some troubling parallels with her own life. Digging deeper, Nadine is forced to confront her traumatic childhood, and the damage that began when she and her brother were brought by their mother to a remote commune on Vancouver Island. What happened to Nadine? Why was their family destroyed? And why does the name Aaron Quinn, the group's leader, bring complex feelings of terror to Nadine even today? And then, the unthinkable happens, and Nadine realizes that danger is closer to home than she ever imagined. She has no choice but to face what terrifies her the most...and fight back. Sometimes you can leave the past, but you can never escape. Told with the trademark powerful storytelling that has had critics praising her work as "Gripping" (Kirkus), "Jaw-dropping" (Publishers Weekly) and "Crackling with suspense" (People magazine), ALWAYS WATCHING shows why Chevy Stevens is one of the most mesmerizing new talents of our day.

I started this in 2020. I didn't do so well with keeping up with it, but hoping 2021 will change that.

I have been trying to get through some shows & movies lately. Here is a fun way to do that. Will only do 1 genre a month. Everyone is welcome to join in. Tag me & use hashtags.

ElizaMarie So what are you currently binging in Drama? 4y
AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie right now a show called Rosewood. It's a crime drama on Hulu that was only on for 2 seasons (that's one reason why I chose it.. quickly over). The main guy is a medical examiner and the girl is a cop. They work together. 4y
LapReader Yes please. 4y
AkashaVampie @LapReader ok sweetie. I will do my best to remember to put u in my posts. 4y
ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie Ooo that sounds pretty interesting 4y
AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie it is good. There is also another one called Body of Proof. Medical examiner woman working with the cops. 4y

I just can't, I tried, it was really good, then it just flopped for me. I really hate it when that happens.

It's going to be raining off and on all day, so for today since I'm not feeling too great, I am going to relax and read this book.

What are you reading this Saturday?

Lacklustre for me. Still a pick but borderline.

Today‘s Prompt: Always

A haunting, terrifying read, but oh so good.

You will be on the edge of your seat as the fear and tension oozes from the pages of ALWAYS WATCHING. Don't read this book when you are alone or in a room without curtains. Someone may be watching.

https://silversolara.blogspot.com/2013/07/alway-watching-by-chevy-stevens.html

Thanks for a fun month...great daily prompts!!

Mehso-so

This was just okay for me. I couldn‘t get into it the way I would have liked. Maybe it was the narrator, the MC, or me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The story was full: mother/daughter relationship, addiction, repressed memories, grief and loss, and a cult. #MountTBR

Ashley_Nicoletto Yes! Good for you! Reading and riding is one of my favorites! 7y
JoeStalksBeck @Ashley_Nicoletto I only did 10 miles today. Not bad but I did 17 last week and it took me a couple days to recover. 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto @JoeStalksBeck That's amazing! I usually set myself a time limit based on how I feel. 😂 But I'm not sure I've ever made it 17 miles. My butt would fall off. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 7y
JoeStalksBeck @Ashley_Nicoletto lol! My butt is always numb afterwards so I walk in the treadmill for a little bit. I just zone out and read and try not to think how far I've got to go lol! Yay books! I try to do at least 10 though. But hey, you're exercising and that's great!!🤘🏻❤️📖📚🎉🎊 7y
