About this eBook

A fast-paced teen revenge-thriller from the author of Dial A for Aunties, The Obsession will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Boy Meets Girl. Boy Stalks Girl. Girl Gets Revenge.

Logan thinks he and Delilah are meant to be.

Delilah doesn't know who Logan is.

Logan believes no one knows Delilah like him. He makes sure of it by learning everything he can by watching her through a hidden camera. Some might call him a stalker. Logan prefers to be called "romantic".

Delilah is keeping secrets though, deadly ones. There's so much more to her than meets the eye.

Logan is determined to make Delilah the heroine in his twisted fantasy and he'll do anything to get what he wants.

Delilah is done with the men in her life controlling her. If Logan won't let her go...she'll make him.

"Sutanto has crafted a page-turning work of suspense that questions the line between romantic 'research' and stalking in the age of the internet, analyzing the roles played by abuse, misogyny, racism, and violence in contemporary relationships."—Booklist

"Set against a Northern California private school backdrop, the sensational plot is riddled with twists that come at a furious pace...A suspenseful page-turner."—Kirkus Reviews

"This tense, quick-moving thriller is also a thought-provoking story about the different shapes of abuse. Fans of high-drama fiction with a dark edge, like Karen McManus's One of Us Is Lying or Gretchen McNeil's #murdertrending, will be hooked."—School Library Journal

Ratings and reviews

The book was amazing. I finished just in 2 days because I couldn't wait to find out the ending. I would recommend it to anyone who loves plot twists or hates it. And oh boy, I didn't expect it to end like that. (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!)I couldn't believe that Delilah would be the drug dealer in Draycott & she killed 2 people.

SPOILERS!! This book was the first that I read from this author and I can not wait to read more. It was so crazy and shocking and included mental illness. Once I started reading I didn't want to stop. I wanted to know what happened next between the main characters Delilah and Logan. I can say that when I started reading this book I did not see the ending playing out the way it did. I have never read a book that I was more upset at the Delilah character for what she did than the Logan character when he was supposed to be the bad guy in the story. In my opinion they both where bad. That being said this is a must read. Trust me you want be disappointed.

i have the actual book and i am reading it and not listening to it and i ma almost done with it and i love it so much i never want it to end i found it at Walmart and got it just for something to do because i am not big on reading and i ended up falling in live with t it is most definitely a great book!
