Summary

A secret admirer’s devotion turns deadly in a twisting novel of psychological suspense.

Mia Anderson is an invisible woman. An unremarkable thirty-two-year-old Tennessee librarian, she’s accustomed to disappearing in a crowd, unseen and unheard. Then she receives an anonymous note: You look beautiful today.

It doesn’t stop there. The attentive stranger—a secret admirer named Adam—has plans for Mia. With each new text comes a suggestion for her hair, clothes, or attitude, and for the first time in memory, Mia feels noticed. Slowly, she develops a confidence in herself she’s never had. But Adam has a surprise coming…and Mia finally sees him for who he is and what he’s prepared to do for her. Even kill.

Fearing she could be implicated in the murder, Mia’s forced to turn to the stranger in the shadows watching her every move. Adam’s game of cat and mouse begins with Mia as the prey. In order to survive, she must also become the predator.

Review

Well, that plot took a hard unexpected twist that made this thriller unexpected. My curiosity was piqued along the way with suspicions but never would I ever have suspected the outcome giving that ending. I found this to be a good suspense without having that predictable feel which kept me hooked, wanting to know what was going to happen. This makes the psychological drama to come all the more satisfying.The book slowly builds then turns very quickly.

I will say given this being a character driven plot, you really connect with the characters. The characters in the book are what made me want to keep reading. On a side note, had this not been a thriller, this could’ve been an amazing contemporary romance. Wishful thinking pairing up Jack and Mia but in the context of this book, I loved their friendship. Then there’s Jess. Well, you’ll love her and then you won’t.

Overall, You Look Beautiful Tonight was a good psychological thriller with a slow unravel that really became quite the page turner. Given my experience with this author only in the contemporary romance genre, I’m ready to explore more of her thriller and suspense side.
