About this ebook

He is watching her...

The chillingly brilliant read from Mark Edwards and Louise Voss, the bestselling authors of Catch Your Death.

Doesn’t love always feel this way?

Alex Parkinson is in love with his writing tutor, Siobhan. He has never loved anyone like this, but how can he convince Siobhan that they are meant to be together?
So Alex stalks her on Facebook and finds out where she lives, buys her presents using her own credit card and sends her messages telling her exactly what he wants to do to her. He breaks into her house, reads her diary and secretly listens to her while she takes a bath.
Isn’t that what all lovers do?
But when a love rival appears on the scene, Alex has to take drastic action, and soon a young woman lies dead after tumbling from the roof of her house. Now there is no-one standing in the way of Alex and his true love. But someone is watching Alex too and he is about to discover that there is a thin line between love – and hate...

Ratings and reviews

I enjoy reading books by Edwards and Voss especially when I'm in the mood for a fast paced novel that reads like a good horror movie. "Killing Cupid" wasn't my favorite book by these author's, but it was a good read. It was cleverly written, because everything I expected to happen in a novel about a stalker DIDN'T happen (No Spoiler You have to Read to Understand). However, I wasn't impressed with the ending, I felt cheated by the build in momentum, it was way too unbelievable.

did the authors use some sort of story telling formula? It feels like they did. I like the parallel journals idea but the characters especially the heroin not convincing at all.

I really liked this book and found it hard to put down. It has some clever twists and turns but the characters are all pretty horrible and you have to suspend disbelief to really enjoy it as it is pretty unbelievable in places. Saying that i did enjoy it, although I'm not sure why!
