When I looked up the definition, I knew this was going to get interesting fast. 'Pseudocide.' I had to look up the word because I really wanted to know what it meant. This book showcases both sides of the coin. When you hate someone, you want to know their weaknesses and what makes them tick. Their favorite foods, where they like to go, where they live, their phone number, etc. When you're in love with someone or involved with someone you want to know all about them. Love and hate can lead to obsessive behaviors.

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin with a very thin line separating them. He MUST find her and prove they are meant to be together! She will believe him, and he will rescue her. Jared however will not allow that to happen. She has to get away, get free from the obsessive man. Only the plan doesn't go well, and Laura may or may not be lost in the woods. Everyone turning their backs on Laura and siding with Jared. Laura's routine and life are soon disrupted by a man who couldn't understand no meant no. He's smart, funny, outgoing, and 'nice' but he doesn't take no for an answer. No one will help me, not even the police and I have to go.' - Laura This was a powerful book, written in alternating perspectives, and it will captivate you from start to finish. I love that Laura found herself and her strength when she needed to the most. This was beautifully written and so empowering. I devoured this story, unable to look away from the terror as it played across the page. The way the story unfolded was poetically traumatizing, but an accurate depiction of what infatuation can look like. The cat and mouse game was intense and so disturbing. Like most mediocre men, he has an inflated ego and feels better and more intelligent than everyone else. But you also feel her strength and determination. You feel her fear, insecurity, self-doubt, and desperation. The central theme is something that so many women have to deal with daily, and it is presented so powerfully here. When she hires a new assistant, she has high hopes that he will be a benefit to her work. Not exciting, but she’s going through the motions. If she’s not writing, she’s likely out riding horses while the ideas swirl in the background. That same sense of wonder weaves its way into her fiction. A self-directed degree from UMass Amherst Commonwealth Honors College furthered her exploration outside of the ordinary.

She calls herself compulsively creative, and that has led to a collection of ‘what ifs?’ in her back pocket. I received a copy of this book for free, and I leave my review voluntarily.Įrica Damon is a writer, equestrian, and artist living in Western Massachusetts.
