About this ebook

Take a darkly mesmerizing dive into a haunted past in this nerve-jangling standalone thriller for fans of Freida McFadden, Karin Slaughter, and B.A. Paris.

Twenty years after accidentally killing her brother in a teenage game that went horribly wrong, a woman realizes nothing can be trusted—especially her own memory . . .

There are people in her claustrophobically small hometown in the Pacific Northwest who think that twenty years ago, Rachel Gaston got away with murder when she mistook a real gun for a toy. Or did she?

Now, as the anniversary of Luke’s accidental death approaches, Rachel must find the truth... before it finds her. But as Rachel confronts old memories, she feels her imagination playing tricks on her, convincing her that objects in her house have moved. That there’s a hint of unfamiliar cologne in the air. That someone is tailing her car. Watching her home. Sending her messages... Is the past haunting her? Or is it hunting her?

Cade knows his ex is highly strung. Rachel’s anxiety played a part in their split, though Cade takes his share of the blame too. Yet maybe this time, she’s right to be scared. And as connections surface between a new string of murders and Luke’s death, Rachel realizes that the truth is darker than her worst fears . . .
Take a darkly mesmerizing dive into a haunted past in this nerve-jangling standalone thriller for fans of Freida McFadden, Karin Slaughter, and B.A. Paris.

This book really needs a good editing. The author gets bogged down in meaningless conversation and detailed description of clothes. She keeps repeating and repeating to remind you of the reason for her characters fears. You find yourself wanting to skim over those parts. The methods of the defense that her characters use at the end is so rediculous but ,not funny, that it made the ending just plain dumb. Not a good author, definitely not a book I could recommend.

A book with a title "Paranoid" had to be suspenseful and Lisa definitely delivers in this book for sure. Two chapters in and we are already reading about two deaths. I was hooked immediately! This book was so we'll written and I loved the therapy sessions all throughout the book. I thought I knew who the patient was and the most likely, but it's definitely not who you think. Rachel deals with so much regret after killing her brother 20 years ago and lives in constant paranoia mostly because she thinks something else will happen to her family. Once people start dying from a high school game of shooting guns at each turned bad 20 years previously, Rachel is even on a higher alert. I thought I had the killer figured out, but it's definitely not who you would expect and there are so many twists and turns that just aren't expected in the end. This is my first time ready a Lisa Jackson book and I can not wait to read another! This is one of those books that you will want to read again.

I'm picky about the books I read! I read the first chapter and if it doesn't keep me interested I'm on to the next one! This one was great! I didn't wanna put it down!
