Dr. Sheila Tao is a professor of psychology, an expert in human behavior with her own hidden past. But she's not the only one keeping secrets. When Sheila began an affair with her sexy graduate assistant Ethan Wolfe, she knew she was playing with fire.

But Ethan has something different in mind. He intends to make her pay for rejecting him.

As Sheila attempts to counter Ethan's increasingly threatening moves, he schemes to reveal her darkest, most intimate secrets by destroying her prestigious career...and then her.

Needs a new narrator

Love this author and other audio books of hers but this narrator is very difficult to listen to with the nasally slurring like she’s got a head cold while drunk.

This was such a great listen! I was binging it every opportunity I had. I definitely didn’t see the ending twist coming! I do wish we got a little more at the end about each character. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quick paced, action packed psychological domestic thriller.

𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙍𝘽:

Pulsing with the dark obsession of Radiohead’s song “Creep,” Jennifer Hillier’s superb debut thriller is a terrifying cat-and-mouse game between a woman with everything to lose, and the lover she couldn't resist…who’s now the monster who won’t let her go.

A popular psychology professor in Seattle, Sheila works hard to keep her secrets hidden. On the surface, she’s an expert in human behavior and a well-liked educator, but nobody knows she’s a recovering sex addict in therapy—not even the love of her life, Morris. And she needs it to stay that way, or she could lose everything.

But Ethan Wolfe is impossible to resist. The graduate student is brilliant, charming, and seductive as hell. He’s also Sheila’s teaching assistant, and thirteen years her junior. Ignoring the risks to her career and relationship, they begin an illicit affair that lasts three months, until Morris asks her to marry him. Determined to get her life back on track, Sheila commits to a future with her fiancé, a man she’s not sure she deserves.

But Ethan can’t move on so easily. He didn’t pursue his professor for as long as he did to get dumped for some boring, middle-aged suit. Ethan’s made plans too, and he doesn’t take rejection well. When the body of one of Sheila’s students is discovered floating in Puget Sound—a young woman Ethan was rumored to have dated—it’s clear that the graduate student has secrets of his own.

And he’s not about to let Sheila get away.

This is a Creepy concept

Warning for people with girls going off to college! The creeps are out there and sometimes pose as nice , sexy guys.
The twists aren’t as twisty as some similar thrillers, but it was entertaining.

great

Read book 2 first by accident loved them both can't wait for book three. amazing plot twist at the end left you wanting for more

Intense and suspenseful

Enjoyed this book so much! Very suspenseful. Will look for more by this author and narrator.

over all good

This book didn't move as quickly as her book "The Butcher" did. The narrator slurs her words a lot and sometimes sounds like she has been drinking and/or has a dental implant. Over all the story line is good. Going to listen to book two now and I am hoping it's a different narrator.

good book

Exciting and lots of twist. I listened to this in record time. I really enjoyed this one.

Good Mystery Overall

This was a solid, fun mystery. I think the ending was too drawn out and it could have been much shorter overall. My only critique of the narrator was that some of her voices sound “southern” at times. even though there was only one character with a southern accent. I think she just struggled transitioning. Otherwise great narration.

Good. Intense

I liked it. Held my attention. I enjoy Hillier books. Always a decent plot twist.
