I think the book on the whole was a fantastic read it just had a lackluster conclusion – if it had been changed in any way I could see myself being a lot happier with it.
My immediate instinct was to give it a four star rating, but if I’m being honest with myself I was pretty disappointed with the ending (more on that later) so I ultimately had to take off half a star for that. I was really torn on what to give this book for a rating.
There’s also a scene with strangulation (I don’t want to say more than that because of spoilers). It’s all mostly contained in one chapter (chapter twenty) so it can be skipped if you want (I’ll admit I had to start skimming rather than reading, as the details/length got too much for me). Being that one set of characters’ lives on a dying farm, I sort of anticipated this, but it was still rough. Warnings first: There’s a decent amount of animal death described at one point. Add on the ethical and moral debate of whether or not she did the right thing (or the wrong thing), and you’ve got an interesting base for a story. To have the main perspective be that of a witness is such a different concept I just couldn’t pass it up. Upon reading the description, I was sold. When I was debating about with Kindle First book to pick this month, my eye was immediately dawn to the wonderful cover for I Am Watching You. I am under no obligation to leave a review, but am choosing to do so. I received I Am Watching You through the Kindle First program.
