Watch Me: A Gripping Psychological Thriller | Jody Gehrman
19 posts | 17 read | 20 to read
For fans of You by Caroline Kepnes and Her by Harriet Lane comes a riveting novel of psychological suspense about how far obsession can go. Kate Youngblood is disappearing. Muddling through her late 30s as a creative writing professor at Blackwood college, shes dangerously close to never being noticed again. The follow-up novel to her successful debut tanked. Her husband left her for a woman ten years younger. Shes always been bright, beautiful, independent and a little wild, but now her glow is starting to vanish. Shes heading into an age where her eyes are less blue, her charm worn out, and soon no one will ever truly look at her, want to know her, again. Except one. Sam Grist is Kates most promising student. An unflinching writer with razor-sharp clarity who gravitates towards dark themes and twisted plots, his raw talent is something Kate wants to nurture into literary success. But hes not there solely to be the best writer. Hes been watching her. Wanting her. Working his way to her for years. As Sam slowly makes his way into Kates life, they enter a deadly web of dangerous lies and forbidden desire. But how far will his fixation go? And how far will she allow it? A gripping novel exploring intense obsession and illicit attraction, Jody Gehrman introduces a world where what you desire most may be the most dangerous thing of all.

As a thriller fan, and a fan of the show “You,” I really expected to love this one. However, it felt predictable and fell a little flat. I understand the characters, but they weren‘t believable. I wanted to love it so badly, but it just wasn‘t quite what I wanted it to be.

An immensely creepy, obsessive and disturbing psychological thriller, wrought with sexual tension, so engrossing it had to be read in one sitting. Told through alternating POVs Kate, a writer and college professor and Sam, her student, the stalker/stalked relationship develops through fast paced, gripping writing. Sam's character was exceptionally written and I eagerly awaited the passages dedicated to him. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #reviewathon #netgalley

Finished this one during the basketball game halftime 😂 If you enjoyed YOU, you will probably like this one. Sam and Joe could be BFFs.

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤! This book touches briefly on a subject that this country‘s currently reeling over, but good for her. It‘s written in gruesome, spot-on, chilling detail, through only 2 main characters thoughts. A good look at the inner-workings of a psychopath! I couldn‘t put it down!

⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
Another great stalker thriller. This one is about a recent divorcee professor who's student falls in love(?) with her. Nice, easy read. Kept me hooked the whole time wondering how far she'd let this kid become entwined in her life.

This is a creepy read for sure; it's a strong debut for Ms. Gehrman. I like the setting and premise of the book. Is it the best book, I've read this year? No, but it's well worth the read if you are a thriller fan.

The story was interesting and told in a very unique way. It rotated between Kate‘s first person point of view and Sam‘s second person point of view. The yous and yours of Sam‘s sections really helped pull me into the story. Kate was a character I couldn‘t connect with and the main reason I didn‘t rate this book higher. I really wanted to like Kate, but the majority of the time I felt she was rather annoying.

3⭐️ WATCH ME is a chilling stalker novel that I could not put down. While I was totally immersed in the book, I became frustrated with the dynamic of a smart, educated woman that become totally clueless when a man pays attention to her. So tired of reading about women as easily manipulated victims. JODY GEHRMAN‘s writing captured an riveting story.https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/169452662219/watch-me-jody-gehrman-my-rating

This book totally sucked me in. "A Gripping Psychological Thriller." Yes indeed. I think this came from Goodreads. And they are currently running a contest to give 100 more of them away. You know, if you're interested. #goodreads ??

Think Fatal Attraction meets You! Had to read this in one sitting. Creative writing professor stalked by student she is both attracted to and repelled by. Obsession on steroids! Out in Jan. Thanks to NetGalley!
