Madeline has the worst luck in the world. When
Madeline was in college, a stalker killed four of her
friends in their dorm room, Madeline was saved, but just
barely. Shortly after that assault, she met the man of her
dreams, Easton. One day while she's upstairs writing, Easton,
comes home from his travels. When she hears a noise and
goes to check to see what is going on, Madeline finds Easton
dead on their kitchen floor. She's suspected of his murder.
Madeline moves out of their home but still feels that there
is someone
watching her. Is it her imagination or not?
Meanwhile Jacob lives in his own nightmare world. While in the
service, he was the head of a group of very smart
kids. One night, while he was sleeping, he was wakened
by one of the kids to let him know that several had gone out
but none of them had returned. Jacob goes
looking for them and he is captured by the Koreans.
Jacob is brutally treated, both mentally and physically.
They are rescued but Jacob still feels responsibility for
the ones that lost their lives so all he does now is try to
get up the courage to kill his captors.
Jacob has been holed up in his home, until one day his
neighbor Madeline drives her car right into his front door.
What a way to meet. All of a sudden, Jacob's life is
changed as he no longer has the little house to himself,
because of the crash, there are people coming in and out
of his house. Little by little Jacob and Madeline form a
bond, trusting each other more than they have ever trusted
anyone.
All I can say is WOW. Christina Dodd has done it
again. Combining not only heart-pounding suspense but adds
in romance. What more can a girl want? I started reading
BECAUSE I'M WATCHING and could not but it down. Who WAS
watching
Madeline? Never would have guessed the ending because it
kept me
in suspension the whole time I was reading. I love when I
get a book
like BECAUSE I'M WATCHING and can't figure out all the twists.
And be ready, Dodd includes a rich background of character
stories. There
is the county sheriff Kwinault whose love life isn't so
great, maybe a book on her would be next. In the meantime,
be sure to take
BECAUSE I'M WATCHING with you on vacation, or just sit on your
couch and enjoy.
She had survived, but she is still held captive...
Of her memories, her loneliness, her delusions. But are
they truly delusions?
The survivor of a college dorm massacre, a woman accused of
her lover's murder, Madeline Hewitson is haunted by ghosts
and tormented by a killer only she can see. At night, she
works, writing and drawing the monster that slithers through
her imagination, and living in fear of those moments when
the doors of her mind unhinge and her nightmare lives in the
daylight.
A seasoned military veteran, Jacob Denisov lives alone in
his small, darkened home, sleepless, starving, and angry.
Every day he lives with the guilt that comes from his own
failures and the carnage that followed. When neighbor
Madeline Hewitson drives her car through the front wall of
his house, she breaks his house--and his life--wide open.
Forced to view the world outside, Jacob watches Maddie,
recognizes a kindred spirit and wonders what she fears more
than herself. Has someone caught her in a twisted labyrinth
of revenge and compassion, guilt and redemption, murder and
madness?
When Maddie's imaginary killer takes form, she fights,
screaming her fear and defiance. But will she be strong
enough to triumph, or is the killer she fears no more than a
shadow, an illusion ... that watches?
