A BUSTLE PERFECT VACATION READ
 
USA Today Bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson comes a new novel of nerve-jangling suspense as a woman haunted by guilt realizes that nothing can be trusted—not even her own memory . . .

IF YOU THINK SOMEONE IS OUT TO GET YOU . . .
There are people in Edgewater, Oregon, who think that twenty years ago, Rachel Gaston got away with murder. But Rachel still has no idea how a foolish teenaged game turned deadly—or who replaced her soft pellet air gun with a real weapon. When a figure jumped out at her from the darkness, she fired without thinking. By the time she recognized her half-brother, Luke, it was too late. Blood bloomed around his chest . . .
 
AND SOMEONE REALLY IS . . .
Rachel’s horrifying dreams about that night continue. Her anxiety contributed to her divorce from Detective Cade Ryder, though he blames himself too. And now, as Rachel’s high school reunion nears, she feels her imagination playing tricks on her. She’s sure that there’s a hint of unfamiliar cologne in the air. That someone is tailing her car. Watching her home . . .
 
THEN YOU’RE NOT PARANOID . . .
She’s right to be scared. And as connections surface between a new string of murders and Luke’s death, Rachel realizes there’s no escaping the past. And the truth may be darker than her worst fears . . .

Ratings and reviews

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!
